A Dutch quintet, Quink performs both classical works and lighter, contemporary material. The 26 carols featured here are, as the CD's title implies, indeed culled from many Western traditions, though primarily English, French and German, and include the contemporary, as well as the timeless. Charles Ives' 'A Christmas Carol' is a quietly lilting 3/4; Walton's 'What Cheer' is a herald of joyous news, a musical announcement. The Polish 'Berceuse' has a rocking motion, derived from its repeating major second interval. Favorites include 'Deck The Hall,' 'In The Bleak Midwinter' and 'The Cherry Tree Carol.' Two delicate Bach works round out this understated and soothing CD.
