Silent Night
By
Kristin Amarie, David
Lanz & David Arkenstone

What do you get when you cross the piano of David Lanz, the orchestration of David Arkenstone and the sublime vocals
of Kristin Amarie, the answer is
sheer perfection.
The softness of Lanz’s performance, the expertise and the
subtle fluency of Arkenstone’s arrangements, combined with the far reaching
voice of an angelic presence like Amarie, all go to make this version of Silent Night the best rendition of it I
have ever heard.
Such charm and warmth can be found here on a piece that has
all the potential to be one of the best Christmas singles of all time, and
quite how Amarie reaches those high notes I will never know.
The three pillars of genius have therefore manifested an easy
prediction for me, a guaranteed Christmas number one with ease in the charts;
it really doesn’t get any better than this.
