Here is what people have said about "Dashing Through the Snow"
I am working away and listening to your Cd ..I mean really listening ...this time with my heart and it is fabulous ..I mean ...this is very important that you share .....I feel like melting....
Very pristine surfaces, like ice and firelight and the reflections off an ornament.
Just gorgeous! Immediately brought some peace and calm to an already hectic day.
Beautiful! Count me in for several to give as Christmas gifts this year! What a gift!
...simply amazing...you have surely arrived. Unbelievable.
It is hauntingly beautiful and totally feeds my year-round obsession with Christmas music. Simply WONDER-ful!
Again, beautiful arrangements with exquisite execution! I've never liked Wonderful Christmastime - but you made it
sound beautiful. Whispery...
Oh Christmas tree made me cry, in a good way I mean. You do sound like you are now one with the piano.
I just listened again to Winter Whispers. I don't think I've ever heard you play quite so lyrically, so consistently "inside" the music. The melody is in you and you in the melody.
About Higher Places, listeners have said:
I don't know why but I just put on your CD and America the Beautiful brought tears to my depths!!
Hall's heart shines through his fingers with every note. His great love and feel for the music truly lifts the listener to higher places. -
