I never knew Glenn Close could sing so I purchased this out of curiosity. Was I ever surprised. She not only has a beautiful voice but it is clear. Very distinct. My husband has hearing problems and he could hear every word. This has become one of our most favorite Christmas CD's. I could go on and on with a lot of superlatives but I will list the songs. You won't regret your purchase.

Songs include:

Joy to the World - Glenn Close & Placide Domingo & London Symphony Orchestra

Gesu Bambino - Placido Domingo & London Symphony Orchestra

Carol of the Bells - London symphony Orchestra

I'll Be Home for christmas - Glenn Close & London Symphony Orchestra

Here we Come A-Caroling - London Symphony Orchestra

Deck the Halls - Glenn Close w/London Symphony Orchestra

Silent Night Medley - Glenn Close w/London Symphony Orchestra

For all the World It's Christmas time - Glenn Close w/London Symphony Orchestra

Ave Maria - Placido Domingo w/London Symphony Orchestra

Ding Dong Merrily on High - Glenn Close w/London Symphony Orchestra

There are a few other songs. As you can see the song selection is different than many Christmas cd's. ENJOY THE MUSIC!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars A Truly Classic Christmas Album, A MUST HAVE!, January 9, 2012

This has been my favorite Christmas album since I bought it at a Hallmark store in 1995. Who knew? It is a classic as much as the Bing Crosby and the Charlie Brown Christmas albums are. The real tragedy is that it is a rare and obscure title. You can't really blame people because they don't know that Glen Close can not only hold her own with a world renown opera singer, but has a voice that is truly amazing, clear and bright over an orchestra and chorus. Why hasn't she produced other albums? The orchestra, chorus and recording are superb, every song is wonderful with "Ding Dong Merrily on High" an incredible finish. It's a crime they didn't make a DVD out of the performance.

If I ever meet Glen Close I won't gush over her outstanding acting, it will be for producing a classic, and my favorite, Christmas album which I listen to, over and over, every December. If you like full throated, joyous classic Christmas music, you must have this album.
