5.0 out of 5 stars
Just Lovely, December 18, 2006
This review is from: Christmas Secrets (Audio CD)
This is the import version of a U.S. release. The U.S. release is only available in Target stores and at the NBC store in Rockefeller Center in New York City (and likely other NBC stores, if there are any).
If you watched the Rockefeller Center Christmas tree lighting this year, Enya sang "Magic Of The Night" on the air. That is the highlight of this CD and is such a pleasure to hear over and over. It caught my ear immediately, yet Amazon music searches in early December were not turning up any new Enya releases. Was quite frustrated until I discovered that sales were NBC & Target in-store only.
U.S. version contains six tracks: 4 new holiday recordings and 2 previously-released. All are very well done and a joyful addition to her holiday music repertoire. The six tracks are: "Adeste Fideles" (new), "Magic Of The Night" (new), "We Wish You A Merry Christmas" (new), "Christmas Secrets" (new), "Amid The Falling Snow" (from her Amarantine CD) and "Oiche Chuin (Silent Night").
The CD's U.S. title is "NBC Sounds Of The Season: The Enya Collection". It is more than worth the $6.99 that the NBC store and Target stores are charging. If you like Enya, you will like this CD.

Looking for a full length Christmas Album from Enya?, October 25, 2007
This review is from: Christmas Secrets (Audio CD)
Check out Enya's older sister, Moya Brennan (also spelled Maire). What many think is the "Enya sound" was actually developed by the Brennan family band, "Clannad". Moya is the lead singer. They all sound pretty much the same. Moya has an excellent album called "An Irish Christmas", consisting of 12 traditional carols performed in that beautiful ethereal sound we all love. Just do an Amazon search for "Moya". You'll be glad you did!

Quality..., January 8, 2007
This review is from: Christmas Secrets (Audio CD)
The other reviewer seems to miss the point - most artists today put tons of music, so you can get your money's worth, but where's the quality? Better four good songs than fifteen lousy ones.
This is an exquisite EP, not anything different from other Enya works, but that is a good thing - she has never put out anything but good music. So you are sure that when you buy an Enya CD, you don't have to worry if you will not like it. It is always mysterious, otherworldly and lovely. Great present for the Holidays or any other time.
