My parents had this CD in record form when I was young. I was so happy to hear it again! "The Lord's Prayer" is perfect. "Guardian Angels" is moving beyond words. All of the Christmas songs are incredible, particularly where there are climactic endings (such as "The First Noel"). This is an absolute treasure of a Christmas collection!

This collection has been in my family for years. We pull it out ever year and listen to Mario Lanza's wonderful voice. Time can never change the feelings that come up when I listen to this collection. The Guardian Angels song is a must for anyone that truly loves the Christmas Story.

I remember this album from the few Christmas records my parents had when I was a very young child, which they would play only once or twice a year. Listening to this album at such a young age formed the visual impressions of the Christmas carols that to this day I still see whenever I hear them. Mario Lanza sang with such passion, I can actually remember trembling to his haunting rendition of Guardian Angels. I guess to a 3-year old it is actually a pretty frightening song. I am thrilled that this album is finally available in CD format and will become a permanent addition to my collection.

I really like this album (and the cute picture of Mr.Lanza on the cover) of one of Lanza's best Christmas collection. He did a very good audition of "Guardian Angels","O Come, All Ye Faithful" and "The First Noel" and he did them with allot of passion although he should have practiced a little more for the rest(but not much). His songs will make you cry. My boyfriend can sing just like him (and maybe better) this is also his favorite album. I have heard some other Christmas albums that he has done and I think this is his best! I think that they should add more songs to this album to make it even more special. We will always remember him. I hope he is singing in Heaven.
