G Gabrieli; de Rore: A Venetian Christmas /Gabrieli Consort & Players · McCreesh

CD-Charts > Music > Classical
by: Giovanni Gabrieli, Cipriano de Rore, Gabrieli Consort

Release Date October 29, 2001
If one could hear only a single track from this exquisite album it should be Angus Dei; it makes you feel like you are actually there in the presence of something very special. A Venetian Christmas has kept my family company throughout the Christmas period. Absolutely lovely!

Childrens Christmas Party

CD-Charts > Music > Classical
by: Paul O'Brien All Stars Christmas Band

Release Date October 30, 1997
The music is not bad but, I was looking for a CD with music sang only by children. This CD is also sung by adults and I did not like that. If you are looking for children CDs, I would not recommend this CD. Also, this is not a suitable CD for those who want to find Christmas music to teach to foreign children. Some of these songs are far too difficult for foreign children under eight years old to learn.

It's a Wonderful Christmas

CD-Charts > Music > Classical
by: Michael W. Smith

Release Date October 16, 2007
Michael W. Smith has released two previous Christmas CDs, and they are staples of my December. This new release will be taking an honored place beside them in my December rotation.

This release is a combination of his two previous releases. It mixes the choral feeling of the first one with the pop of the second one. And, as something new, he mixes in lots of instrumental pieces. 5 of the 11 songs are fully instrumental. But the orchestra sounds wonderful.

What is truly amazing is that this release sounds Christmassy from start to finish from the very first listen. Only one track, "What Child is This" is a traditional piece. Michael wrote or co-wrote everything else. Yet everything feels like an old familiar friend.

The Christmas Trilogy [Us Import]

CD-Charts > Music > Classical
by: Trans-Siberian Orchestra

Release Date November 02, 2004
Hard rock. Christmas.

These simply don't seem to go together. After all, Christmas music is usually fluffy, syrupy stuff about decking the halls, trimming the tree, and spending time with your family, et cetera. They play it in malls, and after a few hundred chirrupy renditions of "Santa Claus Is Coming to Town," you're ready to gnaw the tinsel off the walls.

But Trans-Siberian Orchestra breaks all the rules of Christmas music. Producer Paul O'Neill and Jon Oliva teamed up to create this trilogy of hard-rock, orchestral Christmas albums, which bring back the splendour and beauty that every Christmas album should have, but few do.

The three albums -- "Christmas Eve and Other Stories," "The Christmas ... Read More:
