AMG EXPERT REVIEW: An impressive debut from a composer with a lot of promise. Written as a one-hour Christmas cantata at the request of a Latter-day Saint mission president in France, He Is Jesus Christ is an amazing glimpse into one young man's remarkable understanding of the gospel, not to mention his musical gifts. Rob Gardner is a man to keep tabs on. The album is professionally produced, includes a stellar-sounding, but cast without credit, and the music is just plain moving. Gardner was tapped by his mission president to compose a Christmas program while he was serving as a missionary. He relates in his liner notes that he'd intended to set aside his composing efforts in order to concentrate completely on his mission. But the president wanted his original work, so he agreed on the condition that he wouldn't do the composing at the expense of his missionary work. It was first performed by missionaries with a simple organ accompaniment at an LDS chapel in Southern France. When he returned to the U.S. Gardner translated it into English and had it professionally done as he'd intended: a full-blown choral cantata, with solos, narration, and orchestra accompaniment. The result is breathtaking. Add this to the list of albums to have for Christmas, as well as for a moving Sabbath day listen.

From Deseret Book Online:

Incredible. Beautiful. Inspirational. This is a wonderful, inspirational work that masterfully recounts the life of Christ. I felt the spirit in the music and felt closer to Him as well. I would recommend this to anyone and everyone who has the chance to listen to it.

Powerful and Inspiring It is an incredible gift that this young man, just 24 years old, possesses. The music is powerfully written and powerfully felt. My testimony of the divinity and reality of our Savior, Jesus Christ is strengthened each time I listen to this disc. Rob Gardner, who has also written "Joseph Smith, the Prophet" is a wonder. You will be moved and inspired as you become acquainted with his work.
