About this Artist

Editorial Reviews

There's nothing particularly Appalachian about this set, other than the cover, really, but it is a graceful and balanced holiday album featuring Mark O'Connor's brilliant fiddle playing on several Christmas classics, along with friends and guests Renée Fleming, Alison Krauss, James Taylor, Steve Wariner, Jane Monheit, Yo-Yo Ma, Sharon Isbin, Chris Thile, Edgar Meyer, and others.

Exciting, fresh, and traditional Christmas CDby GSE

December 13, 2011: Mark O'Connor is the best and most versatile violinist performing today and he has put together an eclectic group of performers and selection of music that is absolutely outstanding. I have been hoping Mark would make a Christmas CD one day. An Appalachian Christmas is a warm collection of songs that captures the spirit of the season.

You must buy this CD for yourself as well as a gift for others.

This is one of the best--you will love it.by Anonymous

December 13, 2011: In my opinion this qualifies for a 5+ star rating. Absolutely one of the best that Mark O'Connor has ever done. The top artists that Mark has chosen shows real class a little different venue than the normal Christmas music and its nicely done. Renee Fleming is always great at whatever she does. Mark really shows his superb talent with the violin. He has put together one of his very best albums. You can hit the repeat button and not tire of this incredible music.
