"Magically simple, this album is for those who love the Christmas standards. No pomp, no circumstance, no rock and roll. The duo of Korb & Quan play with joy and confidence capturing just the right mood. This album is on my player constantly."

"Born in the late-night hours of Christmas Day 2005, Seasons: Christmas Carols provides over an hour of intensely-creative and well-executed instrumental music. Ron Korb and Donald Quan are two supremely talented fellows who blend their flutes and keyboards, respectively, into a most beautiful partnership. This is excellent ambient music of the loveliest new age/classical sort.


The piano and flute are perfectly matched; the combined voices are delicate, yet energized, and the overall feeling is uplifting, though relaxed. I was fully engaged throughout the album. The song selection is excellent. These pieces present many of my personal favorites, beginning with the cheery opener (I Saw Three Ships). Tracks such as Coventry Carol and The Huron Carol (more personal favorites!) carry a slightly mystical air, and the flute/piano interplay is wonderful to track. The Huron Carol also evidences a most appropriate--and very cool--Native American vibe, conveyed largely by flute.


Korb and Quan artfully improvise, providing colorful portraits of well-loved standards without losing the familiar essence of each. The closing The Night After Christmas is both elegant and mysterious; it's a fine capper to a grand listening experience.


To be honest, when I headed into this review, I was feeling tired and had an irritating headache; after just a few bars, I felt a sweet release. Looking for top-notch instrumental music to relieve your holiday stress? Put your faith in "Doctors" Korb and Quan to chase away your anxiety with a healthy prescription of Seasons. No adverse side effects!"
