Home For Christmas

CD-Charts > Music > Christmas Music
by: Donny Osmond

Release Date October 25, 2004
Yes, the Slade hit was great in it's time, and then David Essex, John Lennon and everyone else all followed with Christmas songs that we are now bombarded with in every shopping centre from November right through to Dec 24th.

In the search for something different to play at Christmas, I came back to Donny Osmond; and I'm glad that I did. When you're all partied out to "Merry Christmas Everybody" and can't face another "War is Over" rendition, pop this on and enjoy some really rather "playable" songs with a gentle festive touch. Don't worry about the quality of the vocals as it all washes over you very nicely. Don't look too deeply for Christian meaning either - the Osmond family's religious committment is know to everyone, and ... Read More:

A Christmas Carol [1951] (NTSC)

CD-Charts > Music > Christmas Music
starring: Alastair Sim, Jack Warner, Kathleen Harrison, Mervyn Johns, Hermione Baddeley
directed by: Brian Desmond Hurst

Release Date October 28, 1998
With a central performance by Alistair Sim that is nothing short of brilliant this movie deserved to be restored to its original condition for DVD but wasn't. I have not seen any prior reviews that commented on the crappy quality of this print but crappy it is, sadly.

Cut to fit the TV screen, it is a poor quality print. No subtitles. No closing credits. A lack of sharpness and definition to the picture and sound. The "extras" are not worth bothering with. Disappointing is what it is.

Kathleen Harrison is superb as is the supporting cast of British film luminaries. They and Alistair deserved better. Cheap and looks it.

Bah! Humbug!!

When My Heart Finds Christmas

CD-Charts > Music > Christmas Music
by: Harry Jr. Connick

Release Date October 30, 2000
A different sort of Christmas album, Harry Connick's CD features the big band sound, strong drums throughout, large choruses in many songs--and Harry Connick. With toe-tapping rhythms and a casual, relaxed attitude prevailing, Connick presents many swingy versions of traditional songs and a number of quiet, soft ballads, accompanied by strings and chorales. Subtlety is not part of the pattern here--the music is, for the most part, bold, celebratory, and full of spirit--with the drums setting the beat and emphasizing the rhythms. The romance of the ballads is emphasized by violins and female choruses.

Throughout the album, Connick sets the pattern of the songs in the first stanza, retaining that pattern throughout, restraining himself ... Read More:

Now - the Christmas Album

CD-Charts > Music > Christmas Music
by: Various Artists

Release Date November 27, 2000
Its the good old classic christmas album with a twist.
Not only does it have the obligatory Cliff Christmas Hit and the good old chrimbo tunes we are all used to, but this double CD adds a few modern twists also. With the likes of Robbie Williams, Kylie and Ronan Keating, NOW have brought christmas into the 21st century.

Its a great album for all the family.
Nana has Dean Martin and Bing Crosby to keep her happy, Mum has Cliff and Macca and the kids can fight over S Club 7 and Billie Piper. While traditional hits from Slade, Mud and Band Aid keep everyone happy.

A must this festive period!!

We Wish You a Merry Christmas

CD-Charts > Music > Christmas Music
by: Ray Conniff

Release Date October 25, 1990
This may be old (1962) but is a must for Christmas. Brings back loads of happy memories of when Christmas was simple. Well worth spending a few pounds on you will probably play it over and over again.
