Ave Maria Carpenters' Christmas Once More, is a delightful collection of 16 timeless holiday classics, personally curated by Richard Carpenter. This newly remixed and remastered album highlights Karen Carpenter's extraordinary vocals. The collection features fan favorites like 'Merry Christmas, Darling', now accompanied by the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, and festive staples such as 'Sleigh Ride' and 'Santa Claus Is Coming to Town'. The album title cleverly nods to the Carpenters' 1973 hit, 'Yesterday Once More', adding a nostalgic touch. With Karen's pure and warm delivery, the emotional depth of 'Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas' and 'Christ Is Born' truly shine. There's a blend of cozy nostalgia and reverent elegance, especially in tracks like 'Ave Maria' and 'The Christmas Waltz'. Richard's meticulous production and arrangements make this release feel fresh yet familiar, from orchestral moments to intimate vocal passages. A fitting tribute to Karen Carpenter's enduring legacy and the duo's lasting contribution to Christmas music.
