2.0 out of 5 stars Beware of the Hallmark reissue, October 30, 2010

I recently ordered the Hallmark reissue of "Christmas Hymns and Carols," but immediately returned it to Amazon when I discovered that the mastering was faulty. Around 1:18 or 1:20 of the fourth track, the music skipped a few seconds. It's definitely a problem with Hallmark's mastering, not merely a physical glitch with my particular disc. I listened no further, deciding then and there to return the CD to Amazon, so there may be further mastering errors on the disc that I didn't get to. Don't the Hallmark people listen to their own mastering before manufacturing the discs?

This album was a family favorite when I was growing up -- we wore out a couple of LP copies -- but please try one of the earlier CD reissues, which are readily available from Amazon or its marketplace sellers. I have the one on RCA Camden Classics, and there are also editions on Delta and Collectables, the latter as part of a two-fer with Lanza's "You Do Something to Me."

4.0 out of 5 stars Powerful Lanza, December 28, 2007

This album we own on record but the CD quality is superb. My brother is a bigger fan of Lanza than I am, but this album is great. Though Lanza passed away at 38, his short career was successful and memorable. This album sums it all up together. RIP Mario!

5.0 out of 5 stars The quintessential Christmas album!, January 22, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Christmas Hymns and Carols (Audio CD)

This album has been part of my family's Christmas celebration for as long as I can remember. Mario brings power and joy to every song and makes everyone want to sing along, singers and non-singers alike. A must for us at Christmas.
