notes

Winter Gift is Adagio Trio"s (flute, harp, cello) third CD recording. The unique combination of harp, flute and cello provides a fitting compliment for reflection during the Christmas season. Selections, many arranged by the trio, include "Ave Maria" (Bach/Gounod)," Silent Night," "Away in a Manger," and "Carol of the Bells."

The Adagio Trio was founded in 1985 in Cincinnati, Ohio. Kathryn Daniels, Michael Daniels, and Linda Grieser, the founding members, perform regularly for concerts, religious services, weddings, and receptions. In 1990 Michael took the position of co-principal cellist with the Virginia Symphony, and the Daniels moved to Norfolk, Virginia. The trio continued to work together, however, and released their first CD Stillpoint in 1997. Over 12,000 copies of Stillpoint and Sanctuary(1999) have been sold in the Hampton Roads and Cincinnati areas. They have been a huge favorite with WHRO-FM (Norfolk, VA)listeners, and are the best selling independent classical CDs at Planet Music, Virginia Beach. The overwhelming response to these collections of meditative music led the trio to create their Christmas recording Winter Gift.

Raymond Jones of the Virginia Daily Press calls Stillpoint "an enchanting disc not to be missed." Tom Robotham, editor of Hampton Roads Portfolio Weekly says both CDs (Stillpoint and Sanctuary) are "terrific, from start to finish."

  • Winter Gift
    author: Mary Rekers

    Beautiful, beautiful! After hearing the CD, I just ordered 2 more copies to give as gifts. I highly recommend this CD; every track is balanced in the sound of the 3 instruments. The arrangements are lovely!

  • An exceptional collection of Christmas music
    author: Ann Phillips

    This CD absolutely takes my breath away! And yet I should not be surprised by that--Adagio Trio's other three CDs are equally beautiful. I was so confident that I would like _Winter Gift_ that I bought three copies, one for me and two for my grown daughters.

  • Lovely, relaxing, the perfect gift for so many on my list
    author: Doska Ross

    If I could give only one gift to everyone on my Christmas list, this would be it - perfect for all my family and friends. Joyous!

  • A True Gift
    author: Rodney Ocenosak

    The music shares its gift of Joy and Peace.

  • Elegant, tasteful holiday music. A joy to hear.
    author: Leslie Brockett

    It's a pleasure to listen to elegant, tasteful holiday music ... particularly when one is inundated with cliche, cartoon music on TV at this time of year.
