Rest in peace... George.... Thank you for your music.
Here in remembrance of one of the greatest musicians of my lifetime. Thank you for all the inspiration. Your music is remarkable, and I was lucky enough to see you live with my wife in Munhall a few years ago. I'm truly saddened by you moving on, but will cherish your music for the rest of my life. 😞😊
R.I.P George...
He was amazing, and this is my favorite of all his songs. Saw him in concert twice.
Been listening to this for about 32 years, and I still love it. Saw him in St Pete, FL a few years ago, and when he first started playing it brought tears to my eyes. Not just that it was beautiful, but so many years of memories associated with how long I've been listening to this particular album. I love it. Thanks George.
This cd is regularly played in my home from Thanksgiving night to just before New Years. If a heavy snow is falling I turn off the table and pole lamps, so only the tree lights and candle lights are on, and the snow outside is illuminated by the streetlight lights about half a block away.
It's been three decades since I first heard this album, and "December" has only gotten better with time.
I agree.
December is a masterpiece. Your signature album in my mind. Few other albums stir my soul like this one. The skill and timing are amazing and the result is a wonder that stops me in my tracks. Thank you, ty, ty George Winston. The gift you share with us has meant so much to mean, and I hope you have a warm heart knowing just an ounce of your listeners appreciation!
Truly is a gift.
OMG. I could not agree more. I just listened to The Holly and the Ivy on full volume. I am overcome with emotion, as I am every time I hear it. The whole album is, as you said, a masterpiece, but this song is my favourite instrumental of all time, bar none.
Wait til you hear “Joy”!
Well said!
RIP George Winston, and thank you so much for your beautiful music ❤❤❤
One of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard in my life, and played so beautifully. Thankyou for this great gift!
(the Holly and the Ivy, I was referring to).
George Winston is a piano god.
I firt bought this album in '87. I was a young, single, professional woman who travelled a lot. On Fridays when I got to my place, I would light the fire and listen to this, and relax. I felt I was on top of the world, happy, content. Now, so much later, I have refound this wonderful album and it brings me back to this wonderful 'I am enough, capable and powerful' feeling. Thank you!!!!
It’s September 3rd, 2023 & found myself down a rabbit hole tonight. The greatest Christmas carol from an incredible pianist. This will be our 1st Christmas without the great Mr. Winston. Rest well, sir. Your musical talent will live on for a long, long time. ❤️🙏🏻
My mom had this album and I would play it over and over in the cassette player.
I had to buy the vinyl record and copy it to tape because I kept wearing out the cassette. I went through 3 copies of the original.
Same!
_December_ was the very first compact disc I ever bought. This is one of my favorite piano solos of all time.
Merry Christmas all. A family tradition that started in our familyb4 decades ago whils t my dad was still alive. It still inspires me to focus my spirit on the bright joys of the Spirit of the saeson.
I have always loved this album. Holly and Ivy my favorite! I was born in December and Holly was supposed to be my name. I wish I could play even half as good as this. The snowflakes dance to this tune!
Sagittarius people are the best! My hubby is a "Saggi" :)
"The snowflakes dance to this tune!" Lovely comment!
This song stays treasured in my heart. It makes me think of a hungry young substitute teacher playing his heart out while kids outside his classroom are waiting for their school bus on the last day of school before Christmas vacation.
너무좋아요 제가 중학교때 12월 처음들었던곡인데 거의 30년이 다 되가는데도 넘 좋아 겨울엔 늘듣곤합니다 특히 눈오는날엔 와우 환상적이에요
Best part begins at 2:00 of a beautiful melody.
You are so right. It's just tremendous. So beautiful!
Absolutely agree
I rarely listen to piano anything, but this album was always one of my favorites.
I am so thankful to have seen George in concert in Phoenixville PA a few years ago. Thank you for the wonderful music.
same here back in the early 90's in Salt lake
I finally realised this is what I was finding hidden in Redemption Songs when I play it on the piano. Been an amazed admire for 30 years. So much love and thanks
This was the album I played again and again in my Walkman as a kid!!
Absolutely the best ever
Unbelievablly beautiful. Such a.gifted soul. Thanks. And Merry Christmas 2023. Also, thank you Wyndham Hill! The artists and music are magnificent!❤
It’s January and I still can’t get enough of this classic. The transition at 2:01 is quite possibly my favorite few bars of music in any genre. I own a beautiful copy of December on vinyl. George, come back to Pittsburgh!
Absolutely glorious!
I remember visiting an apartment shared by three of my female friends and they were decorating their tree with this on the stereo. Such a wonderful memory.
Simply devine
1992년도 밤에 자전거를 타며 이곡에 맞추어 아무도 없는 한적한 냇가옆 길을 달리며 달빛은 은은하고 수양버들은 자리를 지키고 산그림자는 내를 비추고
참아름답고 행복 하였던 추억
The King of instruments
This is such an emotion-filled recording for me... so inspiring and beautiful. I think it is my favourite album of George's. Masterpiece of feelings and sensitivity.
As much As I Chip Davis and Mannheim steamroller... I must Give George Winston his much deserved Kudos towards this song...
You have a truly musical soul. Thank you for sharing your gift. You have inspired me for years.
altered my life
Gorgeous. Loved George since his doors album. 👌
Not mad about piano. But listening to this part since several years, I change my mind right now.
Florent Sambugaro Piano is Outstanding. something that you will never get to comprehend. you don't know the true facts. I do though.
디셈버 앨범에서 제가 제일 좋아하는 곡이에요.
It’s my favorite song in december 💛

This is great. Lovely rendition!
Absolutely gorgeous!
この曲..大好き..G.Wの中で一番かも。

십여년만에 듣고 처음 들었던 그때처럼 눈물이 나려 하네요..
오랜만에 듣는데 너무 좋네요..
I love this version
Lovely George.
Somewhere in time
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Where is the sheet music? I want to play it.
Not bad I liked it
이런 연주를 흉내라도 낼 수 있다면 여한이 없을 것 같아. ㅠ.ㅠ
한국에서 히트한 디셈버 ㅋ
