I preordered this because it said it was a DVD. I mistakenly assumed that it would show Il Divo singing their Christmas collection. Now I find that I'm given a choice of yule logs, snow, or some other silly picture. I love this music and listen to it all year. It's beautiful and I can't say enough about the songs. My favorite is Somewhere Over the Rainbow.
So if you want to see Il Divo as well as listen to them.. you don't want this DVD.

THE CHRISTMAS COLLECTION (Yule Edition) by IL DIVO is like playing the CD on you television screen. The Christmas scenes are beautiful. It's great as a party background, but would rather it be a DVD of a concert; seeing the guys actually performing the songs. We are avid fans of IL DIVO. Anything they do is wonderful.

Bought this for my wife thinking it was a concert video of Christmas songs..it turned out to be a Christmas recording with pictures of burning fireplaces etc.. I should have read the liner notes before I ordered..Gave it away to a person we are trying to make Ildivo fans..Bought the new video also and we are delighted with it..maybe my mistake..

The music in this album was very good, but I was disappointed that it was not a "Live" concert. The use of only three winter pictures to accompany the music was a surprise to me. If I had known that this was not a live concert recording,I would not have purchased the DVD. I could have gotten the same music on a CD for less cost.

I ordered this DVD for my wife. She has the "non DVD" version and wanted to see them sing. This was in Our Opionon a rip off and I should have read the reviews before ordering. Just three scenes, no Il Divo's. Now we can play at the same time on both stereos.

This is an interesting idea, although not a new one. There are three different scenes you can have on the TV while listening to Il Divo sing. You never see Il Divo, just the three scenes (burning fireplace, inside cottage scene, cabin in the snow). I like the burning fireplace. It's an actual video of a fireplace going. The Il Divo music is excellent. The only thing I can't understand (and the reason I didn't give five stars) is why "Over The Rainbow" is included in a Christmas album. It has absolutely nothing to do with Christmas, never has, never will. I checked all my other Christmas CD's and none of them include it. Maybe they needed it as a time filler, but I think they could have found one more actual Christmas song instead. Il Divo does a fantastic version of Amazing Grace which would have been more in line with the rest of the music, instead of a non-Christmas show tune. All in all, if you like Il Divo (I do, I've seen them in person), you'll like this DVD. Especially if you don't have a fireplace to run at Christmas time.

There was alot of background noise on this DVD. Il Devo has such wonderful voices, but they did not come through clearly because of the muffled sound in the background. I have a CD of the same songs (Christmas Collection) as were on the DVD. The clarity of the singing on the CD is so much better than the DVD.

Not released yet but not affraid to recommend IL DIVO These men have voices that are blessing for any time of the year but a wonder for this Holy of Holy times. Blessings on you IL DIVO Thank goodness for music that will last thru the test of time. Visions of IL DIVO, not sugar plums fill my dreams....yumyumyum!
