4.0 out of 5 stars Inspiring musical performances by Anne and her guests., December 20, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Anne Murray's Classic Christmas (DVD)

Anne's voice never sounded better and it's a delight to see and hear the talents of Canadian Roch Voisine (who's phenomenal voice sounds like Jim Croce) and Barenaked Ladies. With lush scenery of Toronto landmark The Old Mill as the backdrop, there's plenty of music (and two performances of Elvis Stojko) to keep young and old happy. Despite some trite dialogue with the guests on this special, the musical highlights include the gospel-sounding "No Room at the Inn," and, quite surpisingly, the inspired harmony of Anne singing with her husband, son, and daughter. Who knew!?! A MUST for Anne Murray fans and those who appreciate gifted voices and harmony.

5.0 out of 5 stars HAVE A CHRISTMAS PARTY WITH ANNE MURRAY, October 25, 2004

By 

Bill Egan "Christmas Historian" (Florida USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Anne Murray's Classic Christmas (DVD)

The richness of her voice and the warmth of her style make you feel that Anne Murray is having this Christmas gathering just for you.

The beautiful setting lends itself to holiday photography and there is excellent sound on this DVD. While the jacket lists one of her guests as "international sensation Roch Voisine," I never heard of this Canadian favorite. Now that I have heard him, I'll be looking for more of his work. Roch introduces a song he wrote just for this party, CHRISTMAS IS CALLING. His guitar work is outstanding. Anne and Roch follow with an unusual medley WE THREE KINGS, THE LITTLE DRUMMER BOY, THE STORY OF THE THREE BELLS (about Little Jimmy Brown) and DECK THE HALLS. Their voices blend beautifully. It would be a treat to hear more of their duets on another Christmas special. It's worth the price of the DVD just to hear these stars sing together.

Two ice rink segments feature champion skater Elvis Stojko and there's a segment where Anne sings with the pop rock group Barenaked Ladies. There are plenty of old standards but it's nice to have some contemporary Christmas songs, too. THIS SEASON WILL NEVER GROW OLD with words and music by Canada's Rita MacNeil is now on my list of contemporary favorites. It's a joy to have Anne's voice fill my home with this song along with all the others on this program.

I THOUGHT THAT THIS CLASSIC VIDEO FROM ANNE'S TV SHOW WAS JUST AS GOOD AS ALL
OF THE VIDEO'S I SAW THAT SHE HAS MADE. SHE CAN SING AND HAVE A GOOD TIME WITH
HER GUEST WHICH GIVES A GOOD TIME TO HER LISTNERS. ALL OF THE SONGS WERE GREAT
AND OF COURSE WITH HER SINGING THEM THEY WERE EVEN BETTER.

THANK YOU
