Product Description

Trans-Siberian Orchestra (TSO) is back with third and final volume of their Christmas trilogy, The Lost Christmas. The long awaited follow up to the double platinum "The Christmas Attic," features their trademark symphonic rock," which fuses elemtns of hard rock, Broadway, R&B, and classical music into a unique and distinctive blend of original compositions, symphony excerpts and holiday standards.

Amazon.com

If you're looking for something out of the ordinary for the season, The Lost Christmas Eve is for you. This final entry in the Trans-Siberian Orchestra's rock opera trilogy is perhaps their most ambitious and complex in the series. Like its predecessors, The Lost Christmas Eve tells the story of heaven's youngest angel called back to earth to continue Jesus' unfinished work. This time he lands in New York City to help redeem not only Christmas, but the soul of humankind itself with a story line that rivals anything Frank Capra ever dreamt up for the big screen. Conceived and composed by Aerosmith and Savatage producer Paul O'Neill, most of the song were penned O'Neill, Robert Kinkle, and Savatage founder and keyboardist Jon Oliva, and features the rest of the seminal Florida metal band on the record. While not as bombastic as Savatage's fourteen rock epics which touch on topics as diverse as the Russian Revolution, the 15th century explorer Ferdinand Magellan's descendants, and Beethoven's last night, the record still has a grandiose, almost over-arching baroque feel, with its prog-rock organ swells and electronic alchemy. The best moments are during the soaring instrumentals, on tracks like the "Wisdom of Snow," "Wish Litz," "Christmas Bells, Carousels & Time," and the majestic rendering of "O Come All Ye Faithful." --Jaan Uhelszki

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.

Good album to finish the trilogy

Reviewed in the United States on December 7, 2007

Verified Purchase

As with all TSO, I'd rate this as good, very good, but not fantastic. After enough listens you get a sensation that the 80s are coming back to abduct you. There are safe songs and ambitious songs. Some of the ambitious songs work and some fall flat on their face. Either way, I respect them for trying, even if moments make my cringe. It's nice to not have all music be safe and grey.

I like that this is a full thematic album. Often I want to hear individual disconnected songs. But I don't want my only options for decent themed rock albums to have come from several decades ago (E.g. The Wall). TSO does nothing if not create cohesive thematic albums.

The last reason I'm glad I got this album sounds a bit weird: it's the only decent one of the genre. If there was lots of great competition for good Christmas music, I may not play all of my TSO albums several times a year - I'd be listening to the better stuff instead. Let's face it: the reason TSO has maintained over 10 years of popularity is that in the absence of competition, their fan base can only keep growing. Anyone who remotely likes this stuff will listen to them and stay with them because there are no other bands out-doing them in this arena.

As many others have said: in some ways this is Christmas music for people who don't like Christmas music. I, for one, cannot stand almost any of the rest of it. I've had the same 3 Bing Crosby songs shoved down my throat for weeks on end every year for decades. I'm not a Scrooge. I want to get in the season too but I don't see why that means it must be with "traditional" safe garbage from 30-50 years ago that sets my teeth on edge. TSO is an alternative that is always good and sometimes great.

Love the whole Christmas thing, and will also play year round. The music is that good.

Love the songs on this CD. One of their earlier works, one I have been looking for in stores. But finally decided to go online after years of hoping to find it at local store. Sorry to the people who own and run local music stores. I like supporting local businesses, but I really wanted this album at a reasonable price.

Awesome Performance!

Reviewed in the United States on December 11, 2012

I'd never really listened to TSO previously aside from the occasional Christmas songs like Wizards in Winter and Christmas Eve/ Sarajevo 12/24 tied to You Tube videos with light shows. Was I more than pleasantly suprised! What a discovery of a hidden gem. Tremendous overall music performance by TSOI. Wow! What a great compilation and modernization of (mostly) traditional to Christmas melodies.

All the tracks are good, but my 2 favorites have to be :

What Child Is This?- Wow, what powerful vocals, guitar cords and harmonizing backing vocals. Love the updated version!

Christmas Canon- A very hauntingly beautiful, version of Pachabel's Canon! The addition of the guitars, bass and drums brings sheer power to the entire song. A mesmerizing vocal arrangement enhances the melody. I'd buy it for this alone!

I'd put this on my "gotta have" list. A top-notched, rockin' performance of Christmas standards, TSO is it!

Highly recommend!

very Mediocre CD

I am a fan of TSO, this CD is my least favorite, It is somewhat disappointing. Ghosts of Christmas Eve CD is MUCH better. I was well pleased with the seller, I received my order within days of placing it.

The Lost Christmas Eve by Tans-Siberian Orchestra

Reviewed in the United States on January 18, 2016

Verified Purchase

This CD is worth the little $ spent! We went to a light show that coordinated the music with the Christmas display lights, and they had a couple songs from this album. First time I heard of this group, go figure. The children love the music, Nana (me) loves the music.
The sound quality is good, especially compared to a Canadian Tenor CD I bought a couple years ago.
We play this often .. it is upbeat and we just simple love the arrangements. Maybe we'll get to take the children to a concert!!

I am a huge TSO fan. See them in concert almost every year. This CD was one of my favorites. It has some of their tried and true songs plus some new ones. I have listened to it so many times. Then last year my dog decided to make it a treat and chewed it up. Glad I found a replacement on Amazon!

I was almost positive I ordered a different Transiberian Orchestra CD for my mom, but this is the one which came. She was kind of bummed because she wanted a different one, but I think she still liked it. I will just have to ordered the other two for her next time!

The most amazing orchestra I have heard since ELO

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on February 18, 2021

Verified Purchase

A friend in the US introduced me to this rock and metal orchestra, I cannot say enough good things about this band / Orchestra I cannot even describe how powerfully emotional I feel when I listen to them. The only thing I'll say is try the band yourself and if you like them recommend them to someone by buying a friend a copy of this disk. Simply beautiful and astounding

Xmas alternative

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on December 26, 2010

Verified Purchase

Non-essential but a quirky alternative to the usual christmas carols and popular hits. The musicians have cleverly created a rock opera of xmas music weaving original and traditional melodies and a miriad of ideas to form a partly brilliant and unique music. Not all the tracks work for me, so I don't listen to them all but many are successful.
