5.0 out of 5 stars A Wonderful Christmas CD!, November 25, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Save The Children: Christmas Carols and Festive Songs (Audio CD)

A few weeks ago, I read a review of this album on Playbill.com, and I decided to try it out for myself. I was not disappointed! This CD features casts from New York, London, and Sydney singing some of the best Christmas carols. My favorite song is "When a Child is Born", which features my favorite singer - Michael Ball. Michael Crawford, Elaine Paige, and Colm Wilkinson are some other featured artists on this album. This is a wonderful album to add to your Christmas collection!

5.0 out of 5 stars A jewel of a collection, December 21, 2002

Powerful voices telling powerful stories. I have loved this set since it was produced and wish it was available to purchase so I could give it to friends. A nice mix of song types and arrangements. Buy it if you can find it.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Absolute Best, December 14, 2004

Ms. D (New Hampshire) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Save The Children: Christmas Carols and Festive Songs (Audio CD)

I have a copy published in 1989 (not 1990 as listed above, unless it was re-issued)-- it has been, and remains to be, my absolute favorite Christmas music album. The collection contains over 30 Christmas favorites sung by late-80's Broadway stars, some as solos (including Michael Crawford) and some as ensembles, and the accompaniments are world reknowned orchestras. It was a 'sleeper', and yet everyone who has heard my copy has been absolutely mesmerized by it. If you appreciate Broadway and celebrate the Christmas season, FIND THIS CD!
