With movie-like drama and clarity, Donna Ulisse re-tells the story of Christ's conception and birth in her powerful new album, All The Way To Bethlehem. But this is not a conventional Christmas CD. Rather, it occupies the same artistic territory as such Bible-based narratives as Jesus Christ Superstar and Joseph And The Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat.
In All the Way to Bethlehem, which is primarily set to acoustic instrumentation and written or co-written by Ulisse, we listen in to a drama told through many voices, all of them resounding with wonder - it is a triumphant story, vividly told.
