5.0 out of 5 stars Breathtaking, December 16, 2006

This review is from: The Wonder of Christmas (Audio CD)

I am a musician at heart (critical and difficult to please, but very moved by good music) and this is my absolute favorite christmas album. The arrangements are incredible and the performances will blow you away. This is a must-have for those who truly appreciate music and even those who just love Christmas music (who doesn't?).

I'm lucky enough to live in Salt Lake where I can see them perform, and this album contains most of my favorite performances from the past several years. Each song on this album can stand on its own, but my favorites are Joy to the World, What Shall We Give to the Babe in the Manger, Angels From the Realms of Glory, and of course the Hallelujah Chorus.

5.0 out of 5 stars Aptly Named, November 23, 2008

Let me start by saying that I am not LDS, and never will be, but the performances of The Mormon Tabernacle Choir are in a class by themselves. No one, or no group can come close the the magnificent standard that they have set. This CD is appropriately named: "The Wonder of Christmas", because it is a wonder. It will be a loving part of every Christmas to come.

the MOTAB ('MO'rmon 'TAB'ernacle Choir) is by far the best Christmas choir in the world, hands down. I have some of their other CDs also, but I mainly only listen to them at Christmas. Their Christmas CDs are the most listened to CDs during the holidays for me.

They have like 3 other Christmas CDs, all great and the newest one has a lot of traditional holiday songs I've never heard.
