Trans Siberian Orchestra Christmas Eve & Other Stories

Trans-Siberian orchestra! Wonderful music! I had this original in my COLLECTION. It was one of my first CDs I ever bought. It sounds wonderful on DVD players or CD players. It's definitely great quality music that you need to listen to without any scratches or bumps that record albums come into. Somehow my original was missing, and Amazon came through for me. No matter where I went I could not find this CD and Amazon had it and it's wonderful to put it back into my collection! I am so grateful!

Brilliant From Start to Finish

Reviewed in the United States on August 31, 2001

From the enchanting cover art right through to the last notes of "God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen," the last track, Christmas Eve and Other Stories is a rare delight.
In fact, although this is supposed to be a Christmas album, I find I can listen to it year 'round (as I am right now and it's August 31st).
You probably already know this from reading other reviews, but Trans-Siberian Orchestra (TSO) is the alter ego of Savatage, a mostly heavy metal/progressive rock band whose albums tend to lean toward the "concept" side of creativity, which is to say they're generally quite a few notches above most music these days...and often contain flashes of brilliance not found anywhere else on the planet.
There's a feeling I get every year around Christmastime, and TSO "director" Paul O'Neill (who produces Savatage's albums) captured it exactly on this CD. As a matter of fact, on TSO's web site, O'Neill writes, "I love writing stories and I've always been staggeringly fascinated with Christmas. It's such a magical time of the year. If you're walking down a New York City street around Christmastime and it starts to snow, the potential for magic can be felt in the air. That's what I tried to capture on this record, while bringing a fresh musical treatment to the holiday."
To capture that "magical" feeling on Christmas Eve and Other Stories, O'Neill took mostly traditional Christmas songs and infused them with electric guitar power and energy to create a majestic, emotional, captivating sound that tends to overwhelm me with emotion or awe (such as on the incredible "A Star To Follow" track or in the dynamic "Christmas Eve/Sarajevo 12/24" track, which also appeared on Savatage's Dead Winter Dead CD).
"A Star To Follow" is amazing. Savatage occasionally creates counterpoint/chorus arrangements that truly rise above the norm, such as the title track to The Wake of Magellan, for example. Or "Morphine Child" from their latest CD Poets and Madmen. "A Star To Follow" gives me the chills every time I hear it.
This CD isn't just Christmas tunes put to heavy metal. It's so much more than that. There's a softness and innocence, maybe even a reverence, about these arrangements (like on the delicate classical guitar instrumental "The Silent Nutcracker") -- even when such songs are placed back-to-back against tracks like "A Mad Russian's Christmas," which begins with a plaintive piano melody that's soon punctuated by bone-crushing Metallica-esque power chords.
Another example of one style of music placed like bookends against another is "Prince of Peace" immediately followed by Savatage's "Christmas Eve Sarajevo 12/24," one of the most powerful songs you'll ever hear -- Christmas or otherwise.
I can't say enough about this CD. It's the kind of album that comes along truly once in a lifetime. Even if TSO never tops this performance (The Christmas Attic and Beethoven's Last Night are noble efforts, but they don't hold a candle to this album), they will have served us well by creating Christmas Eve and Other Stories -- one of my favorite CDs of all time.

One of TSO's Many Phenomenal Albums

Reviewed in the United States on January 29, 2022

Verified Purchase

Bought this as a Christmas present for my mother who positively loves classic Trans-Siberian Orchestra music. CD arrived a few days early in perfect condition. This CD was bought alongside Ghosts of Christmas Eve, which I personally think complements the music on this album, since the two are of similar style in sound.
While you can listen to any of TSO's albums at any point throughout the year, there is a certain charm listening to their music at Christmas time or during the holidays for obvious reason. Highly recommended if you enjoy classical music, choir, rock music, or a combination thereof.
However, please be aware that if you have never heard any songs by the Trans-Siberian Orchestra and/or are expecting this album to sound like a traditional Christmas CD, you may be in for a pleasant surprise, for most of this music group is made up of members of the American heavy metal band, Savatage.

Great Holiday Music

Reviewed in the United States on March 3, 2014

Verified Purchase

After hearing TSO's Christmas/Sarajevo 12/24 for the umpteenth time on the radio I decided to get "Christmas Eve and Other Stories" - the CD that includes this song. I did not know who TSO was prior to this. I thought the CD would just be hard rock-based Christmas carols. But after hearing this CD's samples in Amazon, I checked out the samples from the other two albums as well; "The Lost Christmas Eve" and "The Ghosts of Christmas Eve". I was hooked and I decided to get all 3 CDs and "The Christmas Attic" DVD. This entire 3 CD set is a truly great artistic endeavor. I listened to the music as I read the story and poetry that comes in the fairly thick jackets in each of the CDs. The three storylines and the poems in the CD jackets by themselves are great writing that tells the stories of God and one of His angels working in the lives of various people who had taken a wrong turn in their lives and felt they were doomed to stay in their resulting conditions. When you couple that with the fantastic musical talent in the rock-opera style music it becomes a unique holiday experience that really brings one back to the real meaning of Christmas - the celebration of Christ's birth - whose life, death, burial, and resurrection brings redemptive forgiveness to a wrong-prone, sin-riddled world.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on December 26, 2005

Verified Purchase

This album is very different to anything I've really heard. The band is made up of most of the members of Savatage which made me assume it would be another one of their usual rock operahs, but it was so much more than that. This is a beautiful album filled with cleverly orchestrated powerful music. It combines traditional classic Christmas music with modern rock giving it a good combination of well balanced tunes filled with sentiment, passion and nostalgic thoughfulness. The album follows a story of an angel that travels across the world to find out the meaning of Christmas with each song representing something different that the angel learns through various stories, but with one underlining story. Half of the album is instrumental, integrating plenty of piano, some heavy guitar melodies and light acoustic numbers recreating classic Christmas carols. Different guest singers add more variety to the album as well as its overwhelming depth and randomness that exists through its stylish contropuntal nature produced by some very talented musicians. Overall, if you love good music dont mind a bit of cheese and have an open mind then this is definately worth getting.
