Liona Boyd - A Winter Fantasy (2015)

Presenting A Winter Fantasy, a brand new seasonal release from Canada’s first lady of the guitar Liona Boyd!

Liona Boyd holds a unique position in the world of the classical guitar, through her composition talents and extensive international touring, and she has introduced millions around the world to the art of classical guitar through her concerts, television specials, and twenty‐three recordings, many of which have gone Gold and Platinum.

The long awaited follow up to her two best‐selling Christmas albums, A Winter Fantasy is Liona Boyd's all new and extraordinarily beautiful holiday release. Liona’s previous A Guitar for Christmas was the very first classical album ever to go Platinum in Canada, and it was followed by “Christmas Dreams,” both equally regarded in Liona’s long and distinguished career!

With this new “A Winter Fantasy" release, Liona interweaves beloved traditional holiday music with original material that features the very classic sublime guitar sounds from Liona, supported by ethereal orchestrations and arrangements from Peter Bond and Michael Savona. Featuring primarily instrumentals, it also features three vocal songs including the magical “O Holy Night” and her original song “Alone on Christmas Day”. The album concludes with a new version of “My Special Christmas Present is You” her internet hit with Maria Aragon!
