5.0 out of 5 stars Why Is This One So Little Known?, November 26, 2003

I have over a hundred Christmas CDs and I look forward every year to listening to this one.

Special recognition for the Liza and Alan Cummings selection and one of the most beautiful White Christmas arrangements I've ever heard by Audra McDonald.

It's one full hour of the best voices on (and off) Broadway.

5.0 out of 5 stars My Favorite Christmas CD, December 3, 2005

By 

Iagan (Washington, DC) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Broadway Cares - Home for the Holidays (Audio CD)

This is by far my favorite Christmas CD. The singing and arrangements are lovely, and the mix of songs is wonderful. Standouts (on an album of standouts) include Alan Cumming and Liza Minnelli having fun with "Baby It's Cold Outside," a version of "Peace on Earth/Little Drummer Boy" that is a haunting prayer for our times, and a beautiful and sad version of "I'll be Home for Christmas."

If you're looking for a Christmas album to entertain children, this probably isn't it. No Frosty or Rudolph here, and the arrangements have an adult contemporary feel. But if you are looking for something to help you unwind after the kids have gone to bed, this CD is like a warm fire on a winter's night.

This CD features Broadway stars singing Christmas songs. They all sing great, not surprisingly. Most songs aren't done in a very swinging style, but they are enjoyable in an easy listening kind of way.
