5.0 out of 5 stars Consumate Canadian Christmas Compendium, August 25, 2000

Daniel G. Berk (West Bloomfield, Michigan) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Christmas Album (Audio CD)

This is the latest of a number of fine Christmas LP's and CD's, which the Canadian Brass has released over the years. Alas, none of the others appears to still be available, but be not dismayed, this is the best of the bunch.

The wonderful level of performance is what we have come to expect, and almost take for granted from the Canadian Brass. The addition of the Elmer Iseler Singers on about half of the recordings adds a further lyrical component to the already high quality of this CD. It would be a meaningful addition to anyone's holiday music library.

This is the sort of cd that makes you want to listen to christmas music all year round. The humour in twelve days of christmas is absolutely superb - don't miss it!

This is yet another top-notch Canadian Brass Christmas album. These guys, once again, demonstrate why they are the best in the world at what they do. With the addition of the fine choral singing by the Iseler Singers, this is the complete Christmas CD, one you'll never get tired of year after year. Buy it!
