Editorial Reviews
Album Description
Fantasia on Christmas Carols - Ralph Vaughan Williams -- Early in his career, Vaughan Williams traveled the English countryside collecting traditional folk songs and carols. He gathered many of those carols into this Fantasia, composed in 1912. The opening solo proclamation comes from Herefordshire, traditionally sung by the town crier on Christmas Eve. That solemn retelling of Adam's Fall leads to an outpouring of joy as full choir and orchestra join forces to tell the Christmas story. Vaughan Williams cleverly weaves fragments of familiar carols into the lush orchestration, giving various instruments in turn their opportunity to solo out a familiar tune. Truly a Christmas feast for the ears, Vaughan Williams' Fantasia On Christmas Carols transports the listener back to the villages of Victorian England.
Brother Heinrich's Christmas --
John Rutter has created the perfect Christmas Eve bedtime story, narrated to music in the grand tradition of Peter and the Wolf and The Sorceror's Apprentice. Gather the children, light the fire, and listen as Minneapolis actor Charlie Schwandt tells the story of Brother Heinrich, his donkey, and their magical meeting with angels on a Christmas Eve long ago. The legend of the carol In Dulci Jubilo unfolds in charming style with Exultate's choir and orchestra setting the musical scenery, and the bassoon starring in the role of Sigismund, the donkey.
Connecting these two major works you'll find a distinctive collection of holiday music for voices and instruments, from an orchestral version of Brahms' romantic Lo, How a Rose E'er Blooming to the traditional spiritual Mary Had a Baby. Featured are two stunning new carol settings for a capella choir, Away in a Manger and Infant Holy, Infant Lowly, composed especially for Exultate by Minnesota composer David Cobb.

Customer Reviews:
Perfect for the Season.......2005-11-19
I purchased this years ago and the enjoyment has grown every Christmas. Handel's Messiah is beautiful, The Nutcracker is a classic and the arrangement of hymns conveys the true wonders of the season. While there is a place for pop carols, these classics should be in every Christian's music library. I loved this so much, I actually purchased a complete replacement set when I lost one of the discs. Certainly an excellent value that any music lover would treasure.
FOR WHISTLING OR SINGING ALONG.......2003-12-28
The gifted Richard Hayman (Boston Pops arranger for more than 30 years) offers an interesting collection of holiday favourites. The back cover says "Orchestra and Chorus" - beware, there is no chorus. The sub-title "Philharmomic Symphony Orchestra" is rather pedantic. Why not simply "Richard Hayman and His Orchestra"? The opening and closing numbers are sing-along medleys... the liner notes offer the words. Two Leroy Anderson numbers receive a fair treatment: SLEIGH RIDE and SONG OF THE BELLS, the latter being played rrather slowly. There is a beautiful rendition of MUSIC BOX DANCER, the only version I know that uses the music box. The counter-melody is too loud and takes away the charm of the main theme. A few compositions by the conductor himself. A great collection for tree-trimming, whistling or singing along.

Customer Reviews:
all Christmas,all the Time.......2007-01-10
This two cd offering has almost all my favorites.the classics, not the Rudolph ones. Can't recommend enough.Listen and read Dickens...That's enough Christmas for anyone.
Title makes a big claim, but it absolutely delivers..........2006-12-02
This album provides 2.5 hours of excellent carols, from excellent choirs and soloists, and with great sound. I was worried that a compilation this large, and with such an extravagent title, would be B-side offerings, but that's not the case at all.
This isn't an album if you are looking for something "fresh and new." The arrangements are traditional, and even newer carols are done in a fairly conservative style. But that said, some of the pieces provide the best orchestration and voice arrangement I have ever heard. This is like the pinnacle of the classic English Christmas carol; clean, precise, glorious and celebratory.
Its time to be seasonal.......2005-12-16
This album contains traditional carols performed in a traditional way at the best quality. It is an excellent album to ensure the spirit of christmas is present and to bring the true meaning of christmas back. The double CD selection has all the golden favourites as well as not so wellknown carols to complete a very good christmas album. Merry Christmas to you all!

Traditional Christmas holiday music, mixed between choir and brass versions. Perfect for getting into the traditional holiday spirit. And the price of the CD makes it a great deal.

If you're already stocked up on your favorite Christmas carols but are looking for a nice solid anthology of sacred music, this one certainly has a lot of enjoyment to offer. True, a little more thought could have gone into this themed compilation. What does the Largo from Handel's opera Serse, featuring countertenor Andreas Scholl (his name consistently misspelled on the CD, by the way), have to do with the Yuletide season? No matter, it is after all one of the world's supreme melodies, and Scholl is part of the motley collection of big-name performers Decca has culled from its catalog for this release, which also includes Luciano Pavarotti, Cecilia Bartoli, Marilyn Horne, Bryn Terfel, et al. The anthology is weighted heavily toward the baroque, with a number of Bach selections and seven tracks from Messiah (another work that has by popular tradition become most associated with Christmas even though it was conceived as an Easter celebration). The latter make a sort of mini-anthology within this anthology, giving you a series of "ultimate" moments from Handel's masterpiece--but you certainly won't want to be without the entire work. --Herbert Fellows
Customer Reviews:
Awesome voices.......2003-12-24
This CD is eloquent and so magnetically alluring. It begins with the ever so popular (sopranist) Ms. Leontyne Price's "Ave Maria" and finishes beautifully with the entire operatic voices of the English Choir in the song "Amen". I'm always floored by the voices of Ms. Leontyne Price and Mr. Jose Carrera. The instrumentalists and the great composing of many of the fine songs listed on this CD is superb; well job done by the conductors, very.
prevision.......2000-10-23
When I read what is on this CD and who performs it, I can not wait to order. Now only 4 stars, but I am sure that the 5th will be given after I heard this album. Kobus Kortmann
