5.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful, haunting Christmas Album, November 18, 2005

I have to admit to being an absolute sop and say I LOVE CHRISTMAS and Christmas music. I am manic at this time of year. This is one of the most beautiful Christmas albums I have heard. Aled Jones has a beautiful soothing voice and being a traditionalist I love the songs he has chosen. It is worth buying this CD purely for the most haunting versions of the `Coventry Carol' you will ever hear. His duet on `Silent Night' with Hayley Westenra is also magnificent, along with my favourite carol `The Angel Gabriel'. He also sings a duet with himself on the bonus track `O Holy Night', himself as a boy soprano which will take your breath away. If you want a haunting, beautiful and soothing traditional Christmas album don't miss this one because it is a real Gem.

5.0 out of 5 stars The voice of an angel!, November 26, 2006

I stumbled across this album quite by accedent and it hasn't been off my CD player since. Aled Jones really has the most beautiful male voice I've ever heard. His beautiful renditions of some of the most well known and loved christmas carols, as well as some of the less well known is a delight to the ears. His versions of The Covantry Carol, The Angel Gabriel and God Rest You Merry Gentle men gave me goose bumps and his duet Silent Night sung with Hayley Westenra is really too beautiful for words to do it justice. This album really is not to be missed.

3.0 out of 5 stars Confusion of albums - Aled as treble vs baritone, December 20, 2011

This review is from: Christmas Album (Audio CD)

I like Aled Jones' treble voice well enough, which this album showcases, the cover notwithstanding. However, I REALLY like his mature voice, but unfortunately his new-in-2004 album, for which the cover art is displayed as of 12-20-2011, is only available on amazon.co.uk, and is not available to US residents. (Compare the song lists and the musical samples at the UK and US sites.) Curiously, I can't find the earlier album even on Jones' own web site. I discovered the confusion of albums when trying to purchase tracks I had heard on Pandora. com.
