Bings back a quiet, meaningful Christmas

This is one of our family's new favorite Christmas albums, along with Steve Green's "The First Noel". Yes, there are two oldies, but they add to the album, and bring to mind the real meaning of the season.I think Fernando Ortega is at his best with his quiet, worshipful music. He has been blessed with a great musical gift, and I love to see him using it to bring people quietly into the presence of our Wonderful, Holy Lord. We listen to this type Christmas music all year to remind us of Jesus' Gift to us all.
Somewhat Disappointing

I love Fernando Ortega's music, and I love Christmas music, so I was very excited when I discovered this album. But I have to confess, it's left me feeling somewhat underwhelmed. First of all, 2 of the 10 tracks are oldies. Let all mortal flesh and Jesus King of Angels are fantastic songs, but they appear on Fernando's previous albums, so I already own them.
The album seemed to end very quickly. Some of the songs are quite short. And overall there was a lack of depth and richness that I'd expect from Fernando Ortega. The songs seemed to be sounding the same towards the end of the album.
There really isn't any standout here (except the much older Jesus King of Angels -- all the other songs sound quite weak in comparison.) I did also like the instrumental Carol of the Birds, it is a lovely piece, but not particularly "Christmasy."
I expected this to be a standout. But unfortunately it isn't, it's just ok.
About time!!

Fernando Ortega's music is perfectly suited for Christmas. Nothing like turning the lights on the tree and contemplating what Christmas really means while listening to this!
A talented artist who knows God and His Word.

This is an artist who understands Christ and the Scriptures. Everything he sings is well thought out and Biblically based. Great Artist, beautiful voice. I will continue to purchase his music.

Ortega, a gifted singer and pianist, consistently makes music that is exceptional, thoughtful and soothing. “Christmas Songs” by Fernando Ortega will be a great addition to your holiday library.
Amazing CD, incredible artist
