4.0 out of 5 stars Celbrate the Glory of the Season, December 19, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Joy to the World (Audio CD)

This CD is aptly named. There is a real feeling of joy throughout all the songs. It has big, rich sound that really conveys the glory of the season. Although this is listed as a Mormon Tabernacle Choir CD, the Philadelphia Brass Ensemble and Percussion and Alexander Schreiner at the organ are just as responsible for the soaring quality of the music. The instrumental music is more prominent on this CD than it is on most Mormon Tabernacle Choir CDs.

I wouldn't list this as among my all time favorite Christmas CDs, but if you, like me, think it's important to pause and remember the reason for the season, you will find all your favorite sacred Christmas selections here.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very Intense, Our Favorite Hands Down, December 19, 2010

I've been looking for this!
My friends dad, our neighbor worked at a record production company when I was back in Elementary school. He gave us a copy of this album one year in December.
We really didn't have high hopes of liking the album. he was Mormon and w/the title being what it is, my mom said ohh I get it (nothing against mormons). Years later we were still listening every Holiday season. 20 + years later Mom and I both agreed, of all the Christmas music and albums we have ever heard, this is the best.
The instruments and chorus are very powerful. I bought 1 other Mormon Tabernackle Christmas album because I couldn't find this one, it didn't compare.

3.0 out of 5 stars Poor mix , again, November 19, 2001

The brass and the organ frequently overpower the choir. If this were well mixed it would be a wonderful Christmas classic. Keep the volume control close, again poor mix.
