"Being a casual fan of Gregorian in the past, I had no hesitation to buy this CD. I like most of what Gregorian has done on previous works, and I love Christmas music! How could I go wrong? However, I did not really expect to love this so much. It has quickly become one of my favorite Christmas albums. It's the same Gregorian sound, but they added more of what I always thought they needed- more complex vocal arrangement. Don't get me wrong, this is not out there to be a top of the line vocal album (though the voices are pretty much top notch), but it's meant to be pretty.. and pretty it certainly is. Theres more harmony, more rounds, more of basically everything. If you love Christmas music, you'll love this."

One of the BEST Christmas CD's available

"Ranging from classical to contemporary, GREGORIAN once again bring their unique vocal stylings to 16 of our favorite holiday songs. This is easily their finest album yet, and one I find myself listening to year-round.



Although every track on this album rates very highly in my book, my favorites are still:



Amazing Grace: Simply the most beautiful version of this song i've heard

Pie Jesu: An amazing tribute to Andrew Lloyd Webber

Gloria In Exelsis: An awesome vocal arrangemet

Happy Xmas War Is Over: The children's choir adds wonder to this classic



All in all, this is one of the most listenable CD's I've ever owned. Fans

of Mannheim Steamroller and Sarah Brightman will love this CD, as well as

most of Gregorian's other works.



This is one the few albums that I'd seriously rate an 11 on a 1-10 scale, and it's definitely worth the $21 on Amazon. Buy it -- you won't be disappointed.
