Interesting interpretation. I found it a bit over-dramatic as I know the piece well, having heard it all my life and listened to probably 20 intepretations this past week or so. The music is a beautiful but subtle chromatic piece in its original form. On a point of musical honor, Peter Wilhousky should not get all the credit for simply taking a brilliant composition by Mykola Leontovych (1877-1921) based on a traditional winter song and turning it into an English Christmas carol. It was a great move in terms of popularizing the melody, but the music is entirely Leontovych's. Neither Mr. Riley nor Ms. Campbell would never take credit for their interpretations of the piece as though they were the composers, nor should such credit be given to Wilhousky without mentioning Leontovych. Thank you!

Good
