The Sound Of Christmas!, October 1, 2007

For me Doris Day is at her best in this album, her voice conjures a christmas of days gone by, when neighbors were really neighbors, I just want to say that this is one of the best christmas album anyone can buy, I owned the lp version.

The BEST Christmas Album in my collection!, August 6, 2008
This review is from: The Doris Day Christmas Album (Audio CD)
I had originally heard Doris Day's version of "The Christmas Song" on a Holiday Compilation album many, many years ago, and that song remained in my head to this day. I recently discovered the source of that gem...her 1964 Christmas Album. As a fan of Chritmas Albums from their "Golden Age" of the '50's and '60's, it simply doesn't get any better than this...beautifully orchestrated arrangements with Ms. Day in prime voice. The overall mood of this album is soft, mellow and dreamy, as Ms. Day glides you along from one holiday classic to the next. Her rendition of "Toyland" has an element of of almost "beautiful sadness" to it--enough to make a grown man cry. The three bonus tracks, not from the original 1964 sessions, contrast to the rest of the album, but are worthy of inclusion. Columbia did it up right with a flawless digital transfer, adding the three bonus tracks and elegant packaging to boot. This import is a must have if you like Christmas Standards sung by a one of the best (perhaps under-rated) vocalists of her time. The domestic Doris Day release "Personal Christmas Collection", contains 10 songs from this album, but with five vintage recordings from her big band days as a girl singer with Les Brown. Hold out for this complete Import version. Why this CD is not in general release domestically is a mystery to me...it is, quite simply, one the best!
