Are you kidding? January 4, 2007
Format:Audio CD
While the musical arrangements are tolerably adequate and the orchestra is fair, this is some of the worst choral singing I've ever heard. They obviously have no concept of tuning and couldn't stay on pitch if their lives depended on it. I can't believe this is supposed to be a professional recording and the director didn't correct these glaring errors. I picked up this CD at an after-Christmas sale at 75% off, and I will forever mourn the loss of my $5.00. I guess it might suffice as a mediocre white elephant gift, but I pity whomever may be forced to listen to it. I suggest you not waste your money. If it's classical Christmas carols you want, search for more well-known and trustworthy music groups like the London Philharmonic and the Cambridge Singers.

I loved the "50 Most Loved Piano Classics," so I decided to try another "50 Most Loved" collection, this time the Christmas Carols album. These are classics in their own right as the arrangements and orchestrations are enchantingly beautiful and the choir vocals provide perfect point-counterpoint. I hate to admit this, but I'll probably still be listening to this CD long after Christmas is over. There's a cinematic soundtrack quality that I find haunting. Have a great holiday with this one!

Good Try but No Cigar! January 10, 2008
Format:Audio CD
The musical tracks and the choir are frequently out of sync. Also,there is a bit of intonation about the choir, I believe it is in the male voices. Lots of songs here, but lacking punch. The 3rd CD contains only instrumental tracks for sing-alongs, if you're into that sort of thing.
If you are looking for a great big bunch of songs, the Mormons are always a good bet.

Horrible!
If you have an affinity for pitch, don't waste your money purchasing this collection. The song choices are good, but the Choir is outstandingly horrific. Read more

Wonderful!!!!
For years, I have complained about the very lame, politically correct secular Christmas music that is played incessantly in all the stores. Read more

Are you wondering why they don't tell you who is singing on the cover?
It's because they are below average & must have been cheap "talent!" If you look iside you see that the orchestra is the Prague philharmonic & sounds great. But the singers, ugh. Read more
