5.0 out of 5 stars The Best To Date, September 24, 2007

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

With a fine combination of traditional and modern Christmas selections, this is the best Christmas album by The Vienna Boys Choir that I've ever heard, and one of the best Christmas albums still available by ANY artist. Included are very pleasant versions of John Lennon's perennial "Happy Xmas (War Is Over)", Paul McCartney's "Wonderful Christmastime", and Brenda Lee's "Rockin' Around The Christmas Tree". Among the prettiest numbers are "Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas", "The Christmas Song", "Suo-Gan", "White Christmas", and "The Little Drummer Boy", but the best is saved for last - the seamless blending of the last three songs spread over the last two tracks of the CD is superlative.

5.0 out of 5 stars THE BEST VIENNA BOYS CHOIR CHRISTMAS MUSIC!!, June 1, 2005

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

This wonderful collection of Christmas music is especially good! Many pieces are very well known standards, and have been rewritten in ways that keep the music fresh, interesting and new! Every holiday season (and even throughout the year) this CD is played by our family quite a bit! [I may be a little biased, since my 12 year old son from Cincinnati, OH is one of the boys singing in most of the songs!] It is awesome!!

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

Hello, Boy's Choir Fans,
This CD is a holiday season must.The way these boys sings these christmas songs really puts you in that Christmas feeling.My favorite of course is track number 3-John Lennon-Happy Christmas(War is Over).But surely I will be playing this CD every day during the Christmas season.
Also this CD sound quality is excelent.
I fell in love with the Vienna Boys Choir a few years ago and in my opinion -I feel that the Vienna Boys Choir is the best Boys Choir in the world.
But sometimes I wonder If these Boys are a Heavenly Host Praising God.
Buy this CD and you will see what I mean.
