Easy listening French Christmas, October 27, 2002
This review is from: Chansons Pour Noel: Mon Beau Sapin (Audio CD)
Jack Lantier sounds like a French version of Andy Williams (who's music I also enjoy).
Despite all the songs being sung in French, you will recognise Mon beau sapin (O Christmas tree), L'enfant au tambour (Little drummer boy), Ave Maria, Noel blanc (White Christmas), Douce nuit sainte nuit (Silent night holy night) and Minuet Chretien (O holy night).
The tune of Au clair de la lune has been used for several different English songs and it may be that one of them is a direct translanslation. The one I recognize is Say I won't be there, a UK top five hit in the early sixties for the Springfields, with Dusty as lead singer.
You may recognise others besides those I've mentioned.
If you enjoy the music of Andy Williams and you want a French Christmas album, you will love this.

Beau Chansons De Noel, November 14, 2007
This review is from: Chansons Pour Noel: Mon Beau Sapin (Audio CD)
A very pleasing voice with classical and traditional Christmas music.
I studied French in high school and college. But over the years had lost much of my French due to lack of use. I wanted to regain the knowledge that I thought was lost. I got out an old cassette I bought 22 years ago of another French singer and found that it brought back much of my French. I wanted a Christmas CD in French that would help me regain my French. I bought this one. It is wonderful. The music and voice of Jack Lantier is very soothing and pleasing and great to listen to after a hectic day during the Christmas rush to remind us of the true meaning of Christmas in any language.

Excellent French Christmas CD, December 12, 2007
This review is from: Chansons Pour Noel: Mon Beau Sapin (Audio CD)
I am very pleased with my purchase of Chansons de Noel by Jack Lantier. He has a wonderful voice and he does a great job with one of my all time favorites Christmas Songs, "Il est ne le divin enfant".
I highly recommend this CD!
