Editorial Reviews

By the time her first variety special aired on CBS television Thanksgiving Eve 1998, Celine Dion's reputation as one of the most acclaimed entertainers in history was solidified. By the close of the decade, she would become the world's best-selling female artist, selling more than 160 million albums. The television special for These Are Special Times was a ratings champion, ranking #1 for the night and garnering two Emmy Award nominations.

This Collector's Edition of Celine Dion's multi-platinum holiday album, These Are Special Times, contains a remastered version of the original CD -PLUS- the previously unreleased These Are Special Times DVD featuring the entire CBS television special that accompanied the original release of the album. The DVD captures Celine performing her biggest hits in spectacular fashion including "My Heart Will Go On," from Titanic, "Power Of Love" and "Let's Talk About Love" along with some of her favorite holiday classics. Also featured on the DVD is an exclusive performance by Andrea Bocelli, duets with Rosie O'Donnell and Andrea Bocelli as well as Celine Dion's previously unavailable interpretation of the Roberta Flack classic "The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face."

These Are Special Times Network Special - originally aired on CBS November 25, 1998

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful Holiday CD, October 10, 2007

Celine is one of the few people who can successfully pull off a holiday album. This is a wonderful album for the holiday season, and while it leans mostly towards the Christmas holiday, it also features wonderful classics like "Ave Maria" and "Brahms' Lullaby."

This is worth the buy.

This is just an amazing gift an artist could give. The songs are amazing and just so greatly sung. From the powerful Oh Holly Night, to the softest Another Year Has Gone By, all the songs tell a story and magically takes to that amazing place where Xmas has always a perfect or blue felling.
Her voice is just at that perfect point, and now we get to see and listen at the same time. This network special is just one of the best, she looks amazing as always, and features 2 great artists the amazing tenor Andrea Bocelli and the actress/ entertainer/ singer-to-be Rosie O'Donnel...
Celine's flawless and it is certainly an amazing item to your music library or to your collection!!!
An edition to buy for sure!!!
