Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Excellent holiday CD
Great CD full of holiday classics from fun (We Wish You a Merry Christmas) to beautiful (Es Ist Ein' Ros' Entsprungen) - highly recommended!



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Excellent choice
Excellent selection of music; various musical styles from very classic to pop but always performed well - both technically and with creativity and style. People who enjoy what the King Singers bring to music will also enjoy this selection.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Delightful, splendid

They are very capably accompanied by the City of London Sinfonia and Brass Quintet conducted by Richard ... Read More



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - like all but one track
With the exception of track 11 (The Coventry Carol, Lully lulla) I really like this CD. I personally prefer the traditional renditions of The Coventry Carol. I do not like the "modern" harmonics and arrangement of it on this CD. Otherwise, it is very fine, indeed.
