Customer Reviews

The best Christmas music money can buy!
This is the EP which features on the Christmas version of the Amarantine album.

It has all the hallmarks of Enya's music, which means beautiful musical arrangements overlaid with glorious, multi-tracked voices.

Four tracks: "Adeste, Fideles" (or "O Come All Ye Faithful", sung in Latin) is just wonderful and should be the Christmas number 1 (it's the second song on the "It's In The Rain" single (see my review of that); "We Wish You A Merry Christmas", as you've never heard it sung before (it's had an Enya makeover and sounds like Christmas Pudding with Brandy Butter) given to someone who can't get enough of Christmas Pudding with Brandy Butter - gosh, it's soooooo good; and two original Enya/Roma Ryan songs - "The Magic Of The Night" and "Christmas Secrets", two more beautiful tracks, which make this EP just about the best thing since Turkey and all the trimmings! This is a sheer delight, which you can wallow in if you so desire.

I am not a big fan of Christmas but, strangely, really like the music. Before I bought this, the best Christmas music I had in my collection was Mary Margaret O'Hara's Christmas EP, which is pretty wonderful. This is even better!

Completely sumptuous!

Lovely but expensive
There is no doubt that this is a lovely collection of Christmas music from Enya but considering that there are only four tracks on this EP it is very expensive.I have an import CD along a similar vein called 'Sounds Of The Season' which actually contains six tracks,the extra two being 'Amid The Falling Snow' and 'Oiche Chiuin'so you may want to try and find that as it represents better value.

The latest release from Enya 'And Winter Came' is an album of winter and Christmas music and is excellent so if you want a seasonal offering from the lovely lady then that is the one I would recommend.But if you are like me and want to hear everything Enya has recorded I guess that you will buy this EP anyway.Just be aware that there is another one out there with more tracks.

beautiful and haunting melodies
i love this ep from enya. she can make christmas music sound great. most christmas music is naff at best but enya has worked magic with adeste fideles and we wish you a merry christmas. my personal favourites out of the 4 are:- magic of the night and we wish you a merry christmas. i wish i could give this cd 10 stars and not 5.
