Andre Rieu proves again he is the best of the best! I bought this CD in october 1997, a few weeks before Andre's concert In Quebec city. In this CD, you'll find all the classics of Christmas. They are well played because Andre and his orchestra know how to bring us the atmosphere of Christmas. The desing of the CD is well done. If you,re looking for good music, please try this CD You'll enjoy it. If you have the occasion to see his Christmas concert on TV, watch it. It's very beautiful.
This his not the first CD made by Andre. In 1992, he released "Spielt Die Schonten Weihnachtslieder".

Sometimes I think the only person who is happy that Public television is financially challenged, other that certain legislators who believe that it is too liberal and the culmination of all that is evil, is Andre Rieu. Now don't get me wrong, this happy Dutch musician who models himself after Johan Straus is not a cruel or vindictive person. At least from what I can tell he's not, but let's face it. If PBS did not have financial woes, Andre Rieu, one of its favorite stars, would not have received the exposure he has, and his sales in the United States would probably be next to nothing. Of course for anyone who has ever seen one of his extravaganzas, we would be missing something enjoyable. He's musically sound and he knows how to entertain, and quiet frankly, though some classical purists may cringe at his name, I don't believe the composers whose music he uses are rolling in their graves because it's become popular once again.

Of all his concerts and CDs, I enjoy THE CHRISTMAS I LOVE the most. The jitterbug version of "Jingle Bells" shows that an old tune can produce new tricks. His arrangement of "The Holy City" (a.k.a. "Jerusalem") is almost as moving as when it is performed with a vocalist. The recording has a number of medleys that include favorites from all over Europe show how Christmas has such an international flair. For me, however, this album provides true variety. Many of the carols are not familiar to Americans, so we hear something different yet also authentic to the holiday season.

I'm surprised that there have not been other Rieu Christmas discs. He's an original musician and a consummate showman, so I'm sure there's more he could do with holiday music, but maybe he knows he has a classic with this collection and it will stand the test of time.

Another wonderful Andre Rieu CD. All the Rieu recordings and videos are a breath of fresh air - a joy to the soul.

Andre is actually one of my favorite musicians and I just adore power of his talent ! However, this CD was a little dissapointing because it sounded sad to me... but then, maybe true Christmas has some tragic note in it... as Andre said - "The Christmas I love" !

We are Christmas music enthusiasts... classical mainly, with scads of Christmas CDs. I have to say this is THE go-to Christmas album. It seems to fit any mood. It is at times reflective and nice on low for parties, or dinner, but it is also happy & cheerful... for decorating the house! It never gets old at our house. I notice that not only I reach for it, but so do my children! Classically produced... a favorite!

Though this CD is obviously from a younger Rieu, the music is wonderful. I love his music and this was one was no disappointment. It really emphasizes the spirit of Christmas

Ever heard the saying "Don't buy a Christmas CD online in December", me neither, which is why I purchased this instant classic, originally, for my mother. After reading over some of the song titles on the back of this CD, my curiosity got the best of me (hehe) and I could not refrain from opening it. The craftsmanship and quality that went into the forging of the majestic masterpiece is beyond anything man-made that I have ever come across. I would recommend this CD to anyone who wants to rock out with their mother this holiday season, I know I will be! ;)
