Butch Thompson recorded Bethlehem After Dark with Laura Sewell. Thompson plays piano. Sewell plays cello. No vocals. The arrangements are simple yet very effective. I prefer this recording to Thompson's other Christmas recording because the cello adds a wonderful counterpoint to Thompson's piano which makes for a much richer sound, while still maintaining an elegant simplicity. They pass the melodies back and forth so that they are beautifully entwined. Both Thompson CDs stay in our Christmas music rotation, but this is the one that I prefer.
