There isn’t a weak track on this whole album, so it doesn’t seem fair to mention a few of the songs but not the others. The album flows seamlessly and the sound quality is superb, so it’s a job beautifully done and certain to be a holiday favorite for many years to come! These tracks were recorded over the past couple of years when various pianists were visiting Piano Haven to record or to perform (or both), so I’m sure choosing the best of the selections for this album was a daunting task. Joe Bongiorno and Joe Yamada produced the album for their site (a “sister” site of Whisperings), which features Christmas music year-round.
Despite the fact that there are so many different artists, that they are all playing the same piano gives the sound a consistency that would be missing if all of the pianos were different. Ten of the tracks are new recordings of pieces that were originally recorded in other studios, so even if you have Christmas albums by many of these artists, the recordings might not be the same.
All of the tracks were recorded at Joe Bongiorno’s Piano Haven Studio on his wonderful Kawai RX-7 grand piano and Bongiorno also did the engineering and mastering. Christmas Whisperings is a collection of sixteen Christmas favorites arranged for solo piano and performed by sixteen pianists from the Whisperings Solo Piano Radio group.
