This review is from: Ave Maria - Christmas with Placido Domingo and the Vienna Choir Boys (Audio CD)

This stunningly beautiful album is a well balanced mix of one of the world's great tennors and the sweet voices of the choir boys. Although there is a Christmas song or two on the album, I believe it is mistakenly labeled as "Christmas with....." Although very appropriate for Christmas, I would not call it a Christmas album. I purchase a variety of music CDs to play in my tea store, and this CD received the best reviews this holiday season from my customers.

Excellent! I purchased this as a gift for a friend who loves Placido Domingo and she was very pleased. There is no other who compares to him. (our opinion)
