5.0 out of 5 stars The Very Best Collection of Christmas Carols, November 28, 2003

This review is from: Carol Collection (Audio CD)

I have ten different collections of Christmas carols. This collection is easily the best. I prefer the versions of carols on this CD to almost all other recordings in my collection. The British orchestras and choirs represented on this CD offer powerful versions of the standard carols. This CD's versions of "Hark! The Herald Angels Sing," "O Come All Ye Faithful," and "The First Nowell" are beyond comparison.
