Hello,
I have a question about the following sentence from a CD review.
| Quote: |
Bah! Humbug! 'Tis the season to be jolly, but Naxos have chosen to give us three works here with the same carols repeated - God rest ye is presented in four of the works, Es ist ein Ros' entsprungen twice, Ding Dong merrily on high twice and I saw three ships twice as well. That's a total of at least 15 minutes that could have been better used somewhere, somehow! Bah!
Seriously, though, this disc, full of Christmas tunes arranged into "symphonic" works by five different composers, will be of interest mostly to those who want to listen to to their favourite carols dressed up, but also those interested in the composers represented here... |
I can't quite catch the meaning of the underlined sentence. Could you please make it more easy to understand?
Thanks. |

| The writer listened to the CD and heard the same carols repeated more than once. He thought it was boring because he wanted to hear different songs. He thinks it took 15 minutes to hear all the songs a second and third time, and he could have used that time to do something else. |
