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

5 out of 5 stars One of TSO's Best.......2007-06-29

The Lost Christmas Eve is the final installment in TSO's christmas trilogy. It may be the last, but that doesn't mean the sound is getting old. An excellent comeback from the slightly dissapointing Christmas Attic, The Lost Christmas Eve starts off with a bang, and doesn't let up until the final notes of the last song. The vocals on the album are some of TSO's best, second only to the ones on Beethoven's Last Night. They are best heard on such tracks as "The Lost Christmas Eve", "Christmas Dreams", and "What is Christmas?". The instrumentals are definitely the best TSO has ever done, and none feel repetitive like the ones on The Christmas Attic. They are without a doubt the high points of the album, with such songs as "Wizards in Winter", "Queen of the Winter Night", "Christmas Jam", and "Siberian Sleigh Ride" being the best of them all. However, my personal favorite song and instrumental on the album is the amazing "Wish Liszt (Toy Shop Madness)", which is Franz Liszt's "Hungarian Rhapsody", but with electric guitars and incredibly fast keyboards. Also of note is "The Wisdom of Snow", a beautiful piano solo coming in at 2:01. Overall, The Lost Christmas Eve, while maybe not being as moving and meaningful as albums like Christmas Eve and Other Stories, is certainly just as powerful, and is definitely the most fun to listen to.

5 out of 5 stars Music from the Christmas light house.......2007-05-27

I bought this CD after seeing the house with the Christmas lights, synchronized to a song on this CD. It was all over You Tube a couple of Christmas' ago. Anyway, great takes on some old Christmas favorites. My wife and I still listen to it from time to time.

4 out of 5 stars The Lost Christmas Eve CD review.......2007-05-20

Thoroughly enjoyed this genre. Had not heard of them before this. As music teacher, really appreciated the musical arrangements of well-known Christmas Carols.
The service was excellent arrived in the mail precisely when advised.
