If you like beautiful Christmas music this is the cd for you.All of these songs are lush and also have Christmas bells in them.A lot of these got played on WKTZ in Jacksonville Florida last Christmas.Their website is jones.edu and you click on the wktz icon to listen.This is the kind of Christmas Music you use to hear on beautiful music stations.You don't hear this type of Christmas music on most radio stations anymore except for Wktz in Jacksonville Florida and Sunny XM'S Beautiful Music Channel 24.Wktz and Sunny has most of the instrumental Christmas artist like Last,Faith,Lex De Azevedo,Ingman,Chacksfield,Mancini and others.I highly recommend this cd if you like beautiful Christmas music.

I have been listening to James Last since I was 4 years old ( I am now 31 ).All his music is brilliant and this xmas cd is no exception . James Last is a great person with a wonderful outlook on life and this comes through very clearly in his music .Beautiful music that will leave you with the feeling that life truly is magical and playful despite all the problems the world seems to be experiencing .Sit back and let a musical genius entertain you with his amazing orchestra .

i have enjoyed the music of james last for a long time.this holiday album is simply beautiful and the arrangements are always top notch.he is one of the best in the business for playing all types of music from the classics to the non stopdancing music.keep up the excellent work.

This CD is very similar to James Last's "Christmas Dancing" but there are changes in song selections and arrangements. I don't think it holds together as well as "Christmas Dancing" but if you're not able to find that CD, this one is pretty close.

I first heard this on a vinyl 33rpm about 30 Years ago in England.As a member of a charitable organisation we used this music when collecting with the sleigh for Christmas donations.
I am so please that I have managed to find it again. The arrangments and quality are fantastic. Highly recommended.

Another great German composer. He is more seductive in his music but he brings you alive. His best song is Elizabethan Serenade with the flute solo. This Xmas album is beautiful!

This Christmas CD will get a lot of play this year around my house during the Christmas season. The mixture of religious and other Christmas music seems to be a perfect mix. If you like European Christmas music, this CD will be perfect for you. Well done music, typical (and masterful) James Last style.

These are full-length songs with a good medley featuring "White Christmas" as well.

My wife Pat, had this music originally on an 8-track tape from many years back. No 8-track players around now, for a good number of years, and we had looked high and low, but could not find it. Finally found it on Amazon.com. Really GREAT CHRISTMAS MUSIC!!! and we are listening to it now, as I type this review.

Thank You.

In the review of this CD, Bill has his history correct, and Jeff and Murmick have their recommendations correct. The JL genius comes through again. It's an invitation to queue it up and decorate your Christmas tree!

Please bear in mind that this recording was first released in 1966! Dont be deceived by the jazzy cover. If instrumental music with a humming choir is what you are looking for then this is for you, but it is certainly not music to dance to. It is more likely to chunter away in the background while you wrap your presents by the fire
