5.0 out of 5 stars My Favorite Christmas CD of All Time, December 23, 2003

It's been at least 10 years since I first heard this CD, but it is still the first one I get out each Christmas season and the last one I put away. The opening tune never fails to choke me up - it is just SO beautiful and poignant. I have sung in choirs and barbershop quartets over the years, and this CD simply blows me away with the AWESOME breath control, dynamics, and tight, tight harmonies. This CD is totally a capella, but you would swear their was instrumentation because of the depth and intricacies of the harmonic vocal accompaniments. Some of the arrangements are the best I have ever heard of these traditional carols. I have never loaned this CD to someone without receiving a frantic request to know where they can get their own copy. "O Come, O Come Emmanuel" is the most astounding example of voice control I have ever heard. The final phrase of this song amazes me every time I hear it. There is nothing pretentious or strained about this CD. Simply the most wonderful, beautiful blending of voices singing the best arrangements of Christmas songs you will ever hear. This CD is PERFECT!

I found this album years ago and its the first one i bring out at Christmas and the last i put away when the holidays are over. If you are a lover of close harmony,madrical approaches to music and yet almost a touch of the Four Freshmen then this is a disc for you for the holidays.

This is truly the "must have" of any Christmas library. It satisfies your Popular, Classical and Crooner styles perfectly. The most cherished songs in the most enjoyable arrangments. Beautifully blended voices and full harmonies.
