On paper, this CD is a bull's eye. Paul de Leeuw tells the Christmas story to children and is supported by classical musicians. The story and music are also illustrated by Harmen van Straaten. All in all, the ideal gift for the festive December month. Children will certainly appreciate De Leeuw's funny approach and Van Straaten's beautiful drawings. The age-old classical music and the even older
… Christmas story become very accessible. Parents must be able to appreciate the liberal interpretation of the comedian. De Leeuw follows the story from the Bible, but not too reverently. He allows himself a lot of freedom and often takes a trip to make a joke. Do you not like his humor or are you a strict believer then this CD is not for you! (JE)more
