This CD is a most stunning compilation of Christmas music. Each and every listener will enjoy hearing the varying melodies and music styles that are represented here. As the Arranger and Conductor, Palma pulls out all the stops for this production of seasonal sensations.

Included are two Palma Pascale originals:

" Much Less Than Christmas" , a ballad, is an achingly beautiful Christmas love song. Its music and lyrics alike are nothing less than spectacular, as we have come to expect from Palma. She truly wrote a lovely song, and the arrangement of it on this CD is just superb! The lush strings, coupled with beautiful "Carpenteresque" backing vocals performed by she and Frank would make Karen and Richard (Carpenter) jealous. . . I assure you. An outstanding job.

The title song "Remembering Christmas" , a waltz, is from the Broadway Musical, What The Hell, Nell! that was, as we know already, penned by our own Ms. Pascale. This song is a sweet song depicting memories of yesteryear, that warm our hearts and bring a smile to our faces. Frank does a great job with this one, and Palma's arrangement, though different in many ways from her "Nell!" arrangement, nevertheless gets across the feelings only memories can bring to us. This is the song I was asked to sing on, along with Fred, and I'm so proud of that, I can't put it in words. Oh sure, it's only two lines, but they're important (to me!). *smiles* There were two children singing on that segment as well, and you two know who you are. Such a great job with this, Palma Anne and Frank Anthony.

I'll be back to post again, soon - I've much to listen to in this album. There are so many nuances that are fun and sometimes, surprising. I want to write about it as I have the other albums, and I will also be writing about it on Frank's website - http://www.frankrendo.com/.

Thanks again to Palma, as Frank credits her on this CD as " musician extrodinaire!" Truer words were never spoken. Also many kudos to album artist Frank Rendo, and of course, for the more than capable gifts of Fred Guarino.

Merry Christmas to all!
