This is probably the best men's chorus (approximately 100 singers from across America) I have ever heard recorded. The album jacket indicates each of the participants are professionals.

The songs are extremely well orchestrated and a wide variety of Christian Christmas music is provided. The track "Beautiful Star of Bethlehem is breathtaking. I heard this track about 3 years ago and kept searching for the CD until I recently found it on Amazon. I have played it almost continually since I received the album.

We've owned this album for the last six years. Full beautiful men's Christmas choral music. It remains the highlight of our Christmas season. Fifty music minutes to put you into the Christmas spirit. Probably the most spectacular song is "Beautiful Star". A must have for the true CHRISTMAS purist.

I'm a music educator and choral director by profession, so I've heard a lot of Christmas music in my life. This album quickly made its way onto my "short list" of essential Christmas recordings, and has stayed there for many years. For my partner and me, each holiday season begin when we hear this album, and we grieve a little when it's time to put it away for the year. If you like Christmas music and the rich, full sound of a really top notch men's choir, you will love "Beautiful Star."

I recently heard Beautiful Star of Bethlehem by the Century Men on the radio. It is the most beautiful rendition of this song that I have ever heard. I received my CD today and I have played it several times. I wish I liked the rest of the CD as well as Beautiful Star. That one song was worth the price of the CD. It is so inspiring.
