Graf's Tidings of Christmas showcases her
classically-trained soprano on 16 traditional carols.
A professional vocalist who favors both opera and
holiday caroling, Graf is a woman after my own heart.
She possesses a soprano with fragile clarity, but
enough muscle to convey confidence and emotional
commitment throughout. Her light, well-controlled
vibrato adds depth, and the minimalist piano accompaniment
provides a classy focus on her vocals.
The album opens well with an a cappella
bar of In the Bleak Midwinter, one of my favorites;
as the piece continues, Graf's vocal and Terry Musselman's
piano nicely build both in volume and intensity. Graf's
voice is especially lovely on the melancholy Coventry
Carol and the nicely-phrased What
Child Is This?, but
the best track is the all-too-brief Es
ist ein Ros' entsprungen, which presents a cappella harmonies (with
Graf apparently on both parts). In the middle, the
album mixes the mood with jazzy interpretations of
Christmas Time Is Here and God
Rest Ye Merry, Gentlemen. Tidings
of Christmas is a solid holiday offering, especially
for those who want to share their living rooms with
a talented soprano this Christmas. Invite Jennifer
Graf in for a hot cocoa, and she may reward you with
sweet seasonal renditions.”
