Summary: The Mad Scramble!
Review: A beautifully performed live handbell concert by The Raleigh Ringers. It's also the first (and only!) handbell concert recorded in Dolby 5.1 Surround Sound! It's one thing to listen to them perform, but to see 15 people actually doing it, endlessly scrambling for bells, that really leaves you puzzling as to how it all adds up to music in the end. It may be a little pricey, but the money goes for a good cause (they're a non-profit organization, check out their website) and it's worth every penny. Here's the tracklist: Christmas Eve (Sarajevo 12/24)
Good Christian Friends, Rejoice
Up On The Housetop
Greensleeves
Pinnacle
Overture To The Marriage Of Figaro
Blue Christmas
Sleigh Ride
The Nutcracker Suite
Overture
Marche
Dance Of The Sugarplum Fairy
Danse Russe Trepak
Danse Arabe
Chinese Dance
Dance Of The Reed Flutes
Valse Des Fleurs
God With Us For All Time
Stille Nacht (Silent Night)
Sweet Home Alabama
Pinball Wizard
---Bonus Tracks--- Tempest
Fantasy On King's Weston
Prelude in C# Minor
Hotel California
Stars And Stripes Forever A few of the standout tracks are:
Greensleeves (gorgeous), Hotel California, & Sleigh Ride. Hard to choose really... so many good ones! The rock tracks are fun as well. Both the video and audio are recorded beautifully. The main live concert runs 2 hours, plus 5 bonus tracks, and a featurette on The Raleigh Ringers & some other extra material explaining handbell types, discography, all adds up to well worth your money. Perfect for Christmas holiday viewing, or any old time!
