Customer Reviews

very pleasant
i brought this cd to play at work over the xmas season, it was brilliant and i had a lot of people singing in the office!!!
maybe i should of put a collection box out could of made a fortune!

Great value for money
Positives: Every Christmas carol you can think of, sung by a variety of very good choirs. This is excellent value for money and certainly puts you in the seasonal mood. It sounds like most of the carols were recorded in cathedrals too, many with organ accompaniment, which gives the voices that authentic echo of chilly Christmas services.

Negatives: As it is a compilation of pieces sung by different choirs, the voices and musical accompaniment (organ/orchestra) do change from carol to carol. Also, I'm sure I spotted a couple sung with American accents, which was quite odd, as this is a quintessentially English collection.

Very glad I bought it though.

You gets what you pays for
I won't call this a cheap selection - I'll call it an economical one. You get a lot for your money - every major Christmas carol you can think of, and a few you possibly haven't heard before. It's quite chocolate boxy, it's quite bland, it's inoffensive. This is not the greatest selection of choral music around, and it's certainly not something you'll play at any other time of the year. But for background musak, to help you conjure up Christmassy spirit at home or in your workplace, it's a very effective and very economical choice. Not to be played at full volume, but something you can sing along with. You get what you pay for - this is Christmas trimmings, not a full scale Christmas feast.
