Summary: Great For Background Music At Christmas Dinner!
Comment: This CD is great for Christmas dinner. I discovered that laat year (2007) when I borrowed a copy of it from my library and brought it to my girlfriend's house, where she, her extended family, and I had a Christmas get-together.
It's not jarring or loud, and ideal background music for a Christmas feast.

Summary: Excellent CD
Comment: I especially liked the 12 days of Christmas. Very unique!! I heard a CB xmas song on the radio, and ran right out to buy this. I am very glad I did.

Summary: WOW!!!
Comment: What has not been said about the Canadian Brass? The album is a wonderful blend of brass and voices. I especaily appreciate the non-traditional selections. It is a heart warmer.

Summary: The Best of The Best
Comment: Just be sure to buy this version (18 tracks) rather than what appears to be a very pared-down later issue (same cover, only about half a dozen tracks).
This is by far the best holiday album I have ever heard. I am a double-reed player and I must take issue with the complaints about intonation and musicianship by the one negative reviewer on this page. The song selection, mix of secular and religious, mix of serious and light, mix of familiar/less heard - Good as driving music, gift wrapping, or sing-along. This is the Holiday CD I listen to year round. If you are looking for ONE CD to buy for the season- for your collection or as a gift- This is it!

Summary: You can find better
Comment: Lousy musicianship here, frankly-- missed notes and poor intonation. I was hugely disappointed when I heard this album. Greatly recommend A Festival of Carols in Brass (Philadelphia Brass Ensemble) instead, which is pure joy for the listener.
