Spirit of The Holidays_[CD quality audio, better sounding than an MP3]
Lisa Addeo
Currently playing on Sirius XM's 'Holiday, Channel 73 and 'Siriusly Sinatra', Channel 71.
Lisa says, "I sat down to record some of my holiday favorites and it turned into 2 CDs and 27 songs. :) Probably because I love the holidays so much".
A recent reviewer says, "Sends a heartwarming message of charm, grace, and elegance. If you decide to bring the lovely Lisa Addeo into your home this Christmas, you'll have a gift to enjoy the entire season.
This CD demonstrates her solid piano chops, in addition to showcasing a few vocals.
I particularly relished her instrumentals; the quiet simplicity of pieces such as There's No Place Like Home for the Holidays sends a heartwarming message of charm, grace, and elegance. I also very much enjoyed White Christmas, an expressive instrumental that highlights the emotions that make the season special, and Addeo's spare--but playful--Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer. Sweet! Of the vocal numbers, Addeo's breathy Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas is the most compelling. Overall, my favorite number is probably Addeo's excellent, low-key interpretation of John Lennon's amazing Imagine (not a Christmas selection, strictly speaking, but providing a theme that is very appropriate this time of year).
Liberace?! Lisa Addeo is not all about sequins and glitz. Like her mentor, she is a gifted pianist, a passionate performer who clearly loves to entertain. Her Spirit of the Holidays embodies a full range of seasonal favorites, with a few vocals seasoning the instrumental mix. Tasty!" --Carol Swanson (Reviewed in 2008)
