Five stars for the music. 1 star for misleading the public. I thought I was getting the CD and the Christmas Special DVD together. The DVD that comes with the CD is only 7 songs with no continuity. The Amazon description was misleading. So now I had to pay extra for the CD and will have to buy the DVD. The Amazon description should make it clear that the DVD is NOT the public television Christmas Special.

The DVD only has 7 songs while the CD has 15 So be aware you are getting short changed on the DVD.

This new Andrea Bocelli Christmas CD & DVD are outstanding. Just the most beautiful music combined with some fun songs with children and the Muppets. The duets
with Reba, Natalie, Katherine and Mary are also beautiful. Most highly recommended for everyone. Andrea Bocelli has an amazing voice. He sings with such feeling and beauty. The duet with Katherine, "I Believe" is not only beautiful but touches your heart.

Of course I like the music most, but I was so angry and disappointed when I opened the package of 2 sets of CD's/DVD's I had ordered and found the DVD is only highlights of a few songs from the entire program- the very ones I didn't care for. The songs shown were my least favorite of the show and it didn't even have the ones I loved most- The Lord's Prayer with the Mormon Tabernacle Choir and the song with The Muppets. I was so angry and upset and I advise anyone ordering the bonus DVD- read carefully- it is not anywhere near the entire program which you may have seen on PBS. If you want the real show- you must get the actual entire DVD separately. It may have been mentioned somewhere in the description that it was only a small portion of the program, but it sure wasn't anywhere obvious when you're ordering the item. Just beware.

Very dissapointed in this product. The DVD only has 7 songs, not the 15 songs on the My Christmas DVD. I thought I was getting a Deluxe Edition and only got half the the DVD. Deluxe Edition is a scam. Buy the CD and DVD Separately.

I was disappointed that the dvd was only a sneak preview of the concert. The advert was misleading.

The CD is perfection. Reba & Andrea . . who would have thought (other than David Foster) but WoW. Even more out-there, (way more) is Andrea & the Muppets - such fun! Andrea is always a good sport and he made this cute skit really work! I thought David was going to fall off the piano bench in laughter ;-)

The rest is World class music and vocals from the very best, arranged by the very best. Yes, the DVD isn't the complete PBS show, but for only $6 more (than the CD alone) it is the bargain of the year! Heck, looking at the beautiful settings is worth that!

Note: the lower rated reviews have nothing to do with Andrea and this Spectacular "My Christmas" album. (But I am glad they are watching PBS - hope they contributed :-)

Didn't realize that this DVD was a small subset of the actual Christmas Show that was on TV. I bought it for my mom because she loved the program....and then had to see the disappointment when we put it on and it ended sooner than expected.

I WAS DISAPPOINTED IN THE DVD. I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE THE ENTIRE CHRISTMAS SHOW THAT I SAW ON T.V. IT WAS ONLY EXCERPTS. I WANTED TO SEE THE JINGLE BELLS WITH THE MUPPETS.

Andrea's voice is sheer magic and his rendition of traditional carols is exquisite, what more could anyone ask for Xmas? Additionally there is the superb DVD which I recommend anyone who loves Andrea to buy. This is a superb feel good Christmas experience. I am awaiting my full DVD of this Christmas special, being released shortly.

This is a superb CD/DVD set and I would highly recommend to those who enjoy all that is good about our traditional Christmas. Also if you enjoy this why not try some of his super opera's I now have them all and I just love them the more I play them.
