Christmas Brass at its Best.......2002-12-13
Excellent playing combined with wonderful arrangements make this a "must-have" Christmas album. A great companion to this CD is the Pittsburgh Symphony Brass' "A Christmas Concert."
Spend Christmas With The London Brass!!!.......2001-12-04
Great, fantastic recording. I have played this CD every Christmas for the last 5 years. Highly recommended for background music at Christmas celebrations & parties!
The technical performance, especially on Vivaldi's Four Seasons: Winter is superb and will wow you. Don't miss out on a festive Christmas celebration.

A rather presumptive holiday title, Simply the Best Christmas Album is an unqualified best--if you like classical, choral, and symphonic music. Marquee talent such as Placido Domingo, Natalie Cole, and Jose Carreras anchor the mix, abetted by the redoubtable London Brass, St. Paul Chamber Orchestra, Edward Higgenbottom & The Choir of New College, Oxford, and the Bolshoi Symphony Orchestra. This two-disc, 36-piece set presents a broad spectrum of holiday pageantry that embraces familiar traditional works like The Nutcracker and more contemporary pieces from Sumi Jo and Linda Eder. From triumphant brass and angelic choirs to stirring string pieces and rich, lovely orchestral movements, Simply the Best sets an exquisitely festive mood. --Martin Keller

Joyous surprises!.......2006-06-01
Every once in awhile I run across an album that excells, not because of the shining brilliance of one artist, but because of the collective impact of several. Here, in this album, are some little-known gems from Christmas music literature. I was captivated by the lilting and primitive joy in "Jesus, the Light of the World," which I had never heard before. Then there is Chanticleer and its rendition of Charles Ives' "Christmas Carol," a classic too little known. There are others. If you look for unique renditions of familiar and unfamiliar Christmas music to enhance the joy of the season, this album is a must-buy.
Simply the Best..........2002-11-19
The minute I heard Thomas Hampson sing the first few notes of Adeste Fideles, I knew I had to have this album. It is a marvelous compilation of Classical Christmas favorites (excerpts from the Bach, Vivaldi and Corelli Christmas Concertos and The Nutcracker) and standard Christmas favorites, as well as some of the lesser heard Christmas gems.
The vocal power on this 2 CD set is amazing as well--Broadway star Linda Eder, Thomas Hampson, Kiri Te Kanawa, Jose Carreras, Chanticleer, and numerous others. I usually purchase one Christmas CD a year. This was it for me this year--make it part of your holiday collection.

Great CD amazing cast !!.......2006-07-21
This is a great CD bring together Twenty international Musical Broadway casts including Cats,Phantom of the Opera ,42nd Street, Les Miserable South pacific six symphony orchestra
A MISSED OPPORTUNITY..........2006-01-04
I recently obtained a copy of this CD set. I cannot express my disappointment enough. Based upon the reviews below, these CD's are BEYOND OVER-RATED AND BEYOND OVER-TOUTED... Mind you, the carols are good - note I said "good", not "great". I have heard better from high school choirs and shopping mall choirs!
On the CD, all but three (3) selections are performed by groups or "troops" of singers - and I think when they put together the "troops" they included the backstage crew members! There is no attempt at singing in a choral style or in vocal parts (bass, baritone, tenor, alto, soprano, etc). It is as if each person were handed a sheet of words to the carol they had been selected to perform, and told to sing when they heard the music in their earphones.... Additionally, the "troops" are identified as such, i.e., The Broadway Cast of Cats, The London Cast of Phantom, etc., with no clue being given as to who is performing with each troop.... Given the audio quality of the vocal recordings (poor to dismal) of the group-sing selections, I guess this is all that is necessary.
There are three bright spots on the two CD's: 1.) Colm Wilkinson, who was appearing in a Broadway production at the time, sings a wonderfully performed solo, and 2.) Michael Ball, who was with the London Cast of Phantom at the time, sings a wonderful selection with a very nice, uncredited female soprano, (the third solo is by a gentleman- unknown to me - who, in my opinion, is NOT a SOLO singer, and should have been paid NOT to sing), and 3.) the orchestrations of most, if not all, of the songs are beyond belief! In many cases, the orchestration of the pieces are the ONLY redeeming quality and the ONLY thing that makes listening to the CD's bearable. Unfortunately, the orchestration sooooo tremendously "outshines" the vocals that one wonders why the vocal tracks were laid down over such wonderful music! These CD's truly represent a missed opportunity to have some wonderful stage talent leave a vocal gem for future generations.
If you can get a copy for under $15.00, go for it - but, remember you have been warned of the disappointment that awaits you... If you have to pay more than that to get the CD's and you just have to have a CD or two with some of your favorite Broadway stars performing Christmas music, then my recommendation would be to skip these CD's and spend your money where your ears will thank you - buy a copy of Michael Ball's Christmas CD or Linda Eder's Christmas CD or Michael Crawford's Christmas CD. Each is worth owning, and the performances are a million times better than that found on the Save the Children CD's.
The Absolute Best.......2004-12-15
I have a copy published in 1989 (not 1990 as listed above, unless it was re-issued)-- it has been, and remains to be, my absolute favorite Christmas music album. The collection contains over 30 Christmas favorites sung by late-80's Broadway stars, some as solos (including Michael Crawford) and some as ensembles, and the accompaniments are world reknowned orchestras. It was a 'sleeper', and yet everyone who has heard my copy has been absolutely mesmerized by it. If you appreciate Broadway and celebrate the Christmas season, FIND THIS CD!
A jewel of a collection.......2002-12-22
Powerful voices telling powerful stories. I have loved this set since it was produced and wish it was available to purchase so I could give it to friends. A nice mix of song types and arrangements. Buy it if you can find it.
A Wonderful Christmas CD!.......1998-11-26
A few weeks ago, I read a review of this album on Playbill.com, and I decided to try it out for myself. I was not disappointed! This CD features casts from New York, London, and Sydney singing some of the best Christmas carols. My favorite song is "When a Child is Born", which features my favorite singer - Michael Ball. Michael Crawford, Elaine Paige, and Colm Wilkinson are some other featured artists on this album. This is a wonderful album to add to your Christmas collection!

Why do they lie?.......2005-12-12
Unlike the other review that had different songs, I actually have the album with the songs as listed. It also says "A soothing journey that combines traditional Celtic arrangements with the time honored melodies of the season." Soothing? That's a matter of opinion. It is really more like plodding, and definitely very uninspired. Anuna does an extremely slow version of Silent Night, but it is rich and sonorous. Their album, "Christmas Songs," while being more of a choral masterpiece is certainly more Celtic than this one. This album sounds like bad elevator music. The arrangements would never be identified as Celtic if you heard them without seeing the album cover. The cover is extremely misleading and the album was a VERY BIG disappointment. If you want real Celtic Christmas music, get "A Winter's Night, Christmas in the Great Hall" by Ensemble Galilei. Another very Celtic album is "A Scottish Christmas" with Bonnie Rideout, Maggie Sansone and Al Petteway. "A Celtic Christmas, Peace on Earth" from Windham Hill is also more Celtic than this, but with a more New Age feel. There is also "A Traditional Celtic Christmas" by Scarlet Rivera and Eric Rigler which uses the violin, uileann, and bagpipes. On a more esoteric note, there is the Anuna album mentioned above. It is truly Celtic as they are an actual Irish group; however, it is not "Celtic" in the sense that most people tend to think of "Celtic." It is a very serious choral CD, and quite beautiful. They have performed with "Riverdance." Another authentic, but highly unusual album is "Noels Celtiques" by Ensemble Choral du Bout du Monde. This album has songs sung in Breton, by the Celts of Britanny. It has a very medieval and liturgical feel and again may not strike all lovers of "Celtic" music as being Celtic by their definition, although it most certainly is. Any of these albums are better than "A Celtic Christmas,A Festive Journey," which sounds neither festive nor Celtic. This album is recommended for someone that is looking for bland, easy listening music. It would rate 2 or 3 stars if packaged as such, but as a Celtic album, it gets a 1.
Pleasant Enough Listening.......2005-12-08
My CD (same cover, same title) has a different selection of songs. It has:
Tarallyr
What Child Is This?
The First Noel
Deck The Halls
God Rest Ye Merry, Gentlemen
Oh, Come, All Ye Faithful
The Angel of Donegal
The Holly and the Ivy
The Spanish Cloak
Hark, the Herald Angels Sing
Ave Maria
Over the Sea to Skye
Good King Wenceslas
Amazing Grace
We Three Kings
I Wonder As I Wander
Auld Lang Syne
Fortunately, for my taste, it has more celtic flavor than St. Clair's other "Celtic Christmas: A Holiday Odyssey." They achieve this by using the bagpipe on most tunes. Unfortunately the playing is fairly routine with all the songs sounding curiously alike.

Why Is Such Beautiful Music Overlooked ? Gotta Hear This.......2003-02-11
Englebert Humperdinck was and still is in most cases, an obscure composer of the Romantic era and turn of the century. He was overshadowed by the more celebrated Gustav Mahler, Jean Sibelius, Antonin Dvorak, etc. Humperdinck's music has been downplayed, regarded as romantic chamber music, charming, pretty, lyric, but insubstanstial. There is nothing insubstanstial about his music. One must truly lose one's self in the music to discover the depth and meaning. Humperdinck's name (which sounds like a character in a fairy tale or fantasy novel, it was in fact the name of the vain, egotistic and spoiled "evil" prince in William Goldman's The Princess Bride) could throw some people off. Humperdinck's music has fictional qualities, and he truly puts his imagination into flight through orchestra. But this is why he is so great.
The Fairy Tale Music is a collection of music he composed for different fairy tales, such as "The Blue Bird" "The Royal Children" and "Sleeping Beauty". Although everyone is familiar with Sleeping Beauty, "The Blue Bird and "Royal Children" are lesser known, obscure Danish/German/Finnish fantasies. The music of the Blue Bird is exquisite, elegant, mystic, inspirational, a combination of innocence and yearning. The Royal Children is stately, romantic, impressive. The Sleeping Beauty has been used by other Romantic composers- Tchaikovsky made an entire ballet with great music, and either Saint Saens or Faure composed "Mother Goose" music featuring a Pavane for the Sleeping Beauty. But Humperdinck's treatment of the Sleeping Beauty is poised, expressive, and very much in lines with Tchaikovsky, except in a smaller frame. To get his will be a delight. Children and adults will enjoy classical music that is right along the lines of Sergei Prokofie'vs "Peter and the Wolf", Saint Saens "Carnival of the Animals" and even Mozart's Magic Flute.
