Awesome! The arrangements are fresh and solid and the choral work is breathtaking. I recommend this CD to all my friends. "Sweet Little Jesus Boy," with Steve Amerson, tenor, just about brings tears to your eyes. The rowdy "Wassail song" is superb and "E'en so, Lord Jesus Quickly Come" will melt your heart. This is a must have CD!

We are music and christmas lovers. If you fit in either of those categories you must buy this cd. It is now our tradition to play it on Christmas morning while we say grace and start opening presents. Best selections, best arrangements, and of course the best performance. Hardly there will be ever another choral cd that will come close to this one. There has not been another Roger Wagner, and sadly I don't see the environment to be good to create another one.

This CD is marvelous. REALLY good music, not the same old thing.The singing is right on and of course Roger Wagner's selections are perfect. We need a 2nd one of these from his daughter Jeannine Wagner.

This group and its conductor definitely deserve their fine reputation. The selections are done beautifully with energy and precision. "No Longer A Baby" has become my favorite "carol" putting the celebration of Christ's birth into its proper perspective. And this version of "Tomorrow Shall Be My Dancing Day" is right on!

My husband listened to this when it was snowing and the local classical station was playing this during Christmas years ago. He immediately fell in love with it, bought the CD and shared it with me, so now it's become a Christmas favorite of mine as well. The chorale has really beautiful singers especially the heavenly sound of "El Rorro". I strongly recommend this!

Not only do I feel I owe Roger Wagner a great bit of gratitude for creating such a magnificent album but also thank my parents for exposing me to it. Roger Wagner's music has been a staple in my household for almost two decades and I have yet to tire of its wonderful composures and beautiful voices. Each and every track complements one another allowing you to experience the true meaning of Christmas. There is emotion in this music that can't be heard on your typical "Commercial Christmas Albums." The Choir and soloists evoke a feeling of true love for the song and meaning that can't be found anywhere else. This is a must buy album for anyone!
