Album Description

Top of the British Classical Charts for 10 Weeks! Billboard Top Ten Classical Recording - December 2002! This album gathers together most of the carols I have composed over the years, plus a sprinkling of my arrangements of traditional carols, grouped to form a program which narrates, reflects upon, and celebrates the Christmas story. I have always enjoyed carols ever since I first sang them as a member of my school choir, and it was not long before I began to write carols of my own-in fact my first two published compositions were the Nativity Carol and the Shepherd's Pipe Carol. For any musician involved in choral music, Christmas is an especially joyous time, and I am indeed happy that it has played a part in my musical life for so many years- JOHN RUTTER

Rutter Christmas Album.......2007-05-14

Great selection of music, and well presented. This is however older recordings that do not match the quality of Rutter's latest recordings such as the Te Deum or the Gloria.

Unique and Beautiful!.......2007-03-09

John Rutter, and his beautiful music, is such a gift to the world. This unique Christmas CD is magnificent! Especially touching are two of Rutter's original carols, "Christmas Lullaby" and the joyful "Angels' Carol." The musical selections speak to the soul, helping the listener connect to emotions of joy, peace, faith, hope, and love. This is a worthy addition to your collection of Christmas CDs.

Johh Rutter Chirstmas Album.......2007-02-19

If I were to choose only one Christmas album to ever own, this would be the one. John Rutter is an exceptional composer of religious music, with unusual harmonies. The music is difficult to sing, and because this is his own choir and he is directing it, the performance is flawless. Gives you goosebumps.

Liked it enough to go through a lot of trouble to give it a review........2007-02-07

Great music by John Rutter: Great performance!

John Rutter and Cambridge Singers.......2007-01-18

This is quintessential English cathedral music; beautifully sung. Reminds one of the English Christmas -- warm and serene -- that we've only experienced in our dreams!

The Mormon Tabernacle Choir sets the tone for what Christmas albums should sound like, and Joy to the World upholds their exacting standard of excellence. Re-released from two concerts recorded in 1970 and 1977 and repacked with three bonus tracks, this collection is as perfect as it gets, thanks to pristine production, gorgeous vocal arrangements, and stately accompaniment by the Philadelphia Brass Ensemble, the Philadelphia Orchestra, and the Columbia Symphony Orchestra. This record will set the mood for reveling, both with more contemporary carols, like "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas" and "The Christmas Song," and sacred numbers, such as Handel's "Hallelujah Chorus" and "O Holy Night." Joy to the World qualifies as an essential yuletide album. --Jaan Uhelszki

A Timeless Christmas Classic.......2003-12-08

I'm a lover of traditional Christmas music and I've acquired about 20 CDs of it. There's nothing my family likes better in December than putting on some good Christmas music and getting in the mood for the season, hearing once again the old favorites you've known since childhood. Of all the Christmas music CDs I've tried, I have two desert-island favorites, the two I always reach for first. This is one of them. I think it's one of the greatest recordings of traditional Christmas music ever made. The arrangements (by Arthur Harris) are joyous, beautiful, and soul-stirring; the performances are heartfelt and magnificent. If you can listen to this CD and not feel filled by the Christmas spirit, you must be (a) named Ebeneezer Scrooge, or (b) deaf. This one is a timeless Christmas classic, not to be missed. Warmest recommendation.

Nice music but..........2007-03-08

I liked the music and the performances a lot, but there is no booklet to depict the performers, nor analyse the music or the arrangements, which are superb

Great CD.......2007-02-16

This is a great holiday CD. We used it for several holiday dinners this year.

A Noble and Festive Christmas.......2007-01-21

This is the best Christmas album you could ever get. It is the most stable as you do not have to think about it. This is the album you really sing along to. Brass makes everything festive, grand and noble; so will your Christmas! A gem for every year!

Meat and Potatoes.......2007-01-18

Since the release of this fine recording in 1967 there have been many fine
brass groups:The Canadian Brass, the Empire Brass, just to name a few.
Whereas these latter groups have all resorted to "gimmicks" such as unique arrangements to sell their albums this group of brass players from the Philadelphia Orchestra give us an album of good old "meat and potatoes" playing spiced with fine tone,good ensemble playing, and good tempos.

Totally Awesome.......2007-01-12

I love listening to this cd at christmas. The brass is so crisp, almost like being right there. You have to add this to your holiday collection, and for those of you who like brass, you will love it. I play the french horn and I esp. love hearing the french horn in it.

THE BEST VIENNA BOYS CHOIR CHRISTMAS MUSIC!!.......2005-06-01

This wonderful collection of Christmas music is especially good! Many pieces are very well known standards, and have been rewritten in ways that keep the music fresh, interesting and new! Every holiday season (and even throughout the year) this CD is played by our family quite a bit! [I may be a little biased, since my 12 year old son from Cincinnati, OH is one of the boys singing in most of the songs!] It is awesome!!

This is a great collection of Christmas songs. Although you might not be familiar with several of them, once you hear them you will love them. A perfect recording to play while decorating, or just enjoying the Christmas Tree! Wonderful!

Galway Christmas.......2004-04-14

If you could own one & only one Christmas CD,this would be it!Classic music taking you back to childhood memories.No modern re-worked garbage that keeps coming out these days.Wow,I am really starting to sound old! :)

Quality, Choral, Christmas.......2001-12-08

You don't need to be a flute-lover to enjoy this disc. This is a wonderful compilation of traditional Christmas pieces. Galway plays a few solos, accompanies a few choral pieces, and the choir sings a few pieces on their own as well. Inobtrusive as background music, but still beautiful under scrutiny, this is hands-down my favorite Christmas CD.

Gorgeous!.......1999-11-25

I enjoy the combination of flute and choir, and this collection is extraordinary. Galway's sound is superb and the arrangements well done. There was a good blend of classic Christmas music, and classical favorites. I recommend it to my flute students highly.

GREAT MEMORIES.......2007-07-20

MY PARENTS PLAYED THIS ALBUM THE ENTIRE TIME I WAS GROWING UP DURING CHRISTMAS TIME. I LOVED IT. BRIGS BACK FUN TIMES. WHEN I SAW THAT IS WAS AVAILABLE AT AMAZON, I BOUGHT IT RIGHT AWAY. I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO LISTENING TO IT.

Christmas With Conniff.......2007-01-27

This is a nice Christmas collection, perfect for easy listening. Most of the music here is arranged in medleys, with "Ring Christmas Bells (Carol of the Bells)" being one of the few stand-alones. It's also my favorite of the lot.

"The Little Drummer Boy", which is arranged as part of the first medley, is another stand-out number. With the exception of its final few seconds it's almost identical to the Harry Simeone Chorale version.

All-in-all, a good bargain buy.

Joyfull X-mas album!.......2007-01-23

This is a must have album for Christmas! Listened to it as a kid during the 70's and have missed it ever since! Very glad I found it on amazon for this X-mas. One gets in a really good mood listening to it! I gladly recommend it to everyone!

A Blast from the Past.......2007-01-17

This was my favorite Christmas album in the 60's and 70's. It's upbeat, "modern" treatment of old standards was attractive to me as a child. Now my kids love it just as much. It brings back good memories!

Holiday music.......2007-01-16

WOW!!!.......2007-03-26

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.

The Best of The Best.......2004-12-15

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!

You can find better.......2004-11-24

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.

Great Christmas Album.......2003-11-05

I've had this particular Canadian Brass album for so long that I have it on cassette! But it's become a classic family Christmas album for us. It's a great addition to any Christmas, especially as background music. It's very calming and just plain good. I can't imagine my Christmas without it.

Good Stuff!.......2000-12-12

This is yet another top-notch Canadian Brass Christmas album. These guys, once again, demonstrate why they are the best in the world at what they do. With the addition of the fine choral singing by the Iseler Singers, this is the complete Christmas CD, one you'll never get tired of year after year. Buy it!

Increible y como lo comenta alguien por ahi, hace mas de 5 a;os que poseo estas grabaciones, primero en cassette y luego en CD y son geniales, brillantes, alegres, reflexivas y estimulantes.
Los medleys son geniales y las versiones con el Coro del Festival Tanglewood son hermosas, la direccion de Williams es generosa, espontanea, vivaz y recia. La orquesta es pulcra y suena genial.

This CD is what Christmas is all about!.......2003-09-26

This holiday CD has everything. It literally embodies the feeling of Christmas. From traditional and religious favorites to upbeat cheerful music that takes you and the kiddies back to Santa's workshop, you will not be disappointed.
This CD is not only musically brilliant, it will bring you the "feeling" of Christmas... what it used to be, what it is now, and what it could be.
The CD is quite long and will still leave you wanting more. It will bring you to tears one minute and have you rejoicing with happiness the next.
This has become our "traditional" CD of the holidays and we play it over and over.
Simply breathtaking.
You won't be sorry.

A Must have for your Christmas Music.......2001-12-02

I have had this CD for about 5 years now. And I can't wait till christmas time rolls around again to play it! This music is great in the background at a dinner party or for listening while wraping presents or reading. Its a great mood setter. I truly love track #4 Holiday Cheer and #3 A Christmas Greeting.

Traditional Christmas music at its best!

best Christmas album by Boston Pops.......1998-12-24

I purchased this on vinyl when it first came out - it was John Williams' second annual Christmas Pops, and he did a spectacular job.

The medley of "The Carols of Alfred Burt" - and the explanation behind them from the Symphony Hall programme that year bring this LP full circle. In short, Alfred Burt used to write a Christmas carol every year and enclose it in the family's Christmas cards. John Williams spent time at the Burt household's Christmas parties and the singing of the carols was the high point of the holiday. Mr. Burt passed on at a young age, but immediately before his death made an arrangement to have his carols published commercially. And so we are left with his immortal Christmas carols ; some you knew, particularly "Caroling, Caroling" - some you may not have, as the emotional "Some Children See Him", which is my personal favorite. Not only is the orchestra at its peak - but so is the Tanglewood Festival Chorus.

Of all of the Christmas albums ever produced by the Boston Pops - and this includes those by Mr. Fiedler and Mr. Lockhart - this is my favorite. We still attend the Holiday Pops at Symphony Hall every year, but nothing tops the year in which the "green album" was produced. And nothing tops this album.

I wish the Pops would go back to more traditional holiday music - Mr. Williams did bring it back with Mr. Burt's carols.

Not that amazing........2007-01-19

I bought this somewhat based on the glowing reviews others had given it. It's not bad, but not that fantastic either. I've heard much better versions of most of the music on it. Not quite worth the price.

Are you kidding?.......2007-01-05

While the musical arrangements are tolerably adequate and the orchestra is fair, this is some of the worst choral singing I've ever heard. They obviously have no concept of tuning and couldn't stay on pitch if their lives depended on it. I can't believe this is supposed to be a professional recording and the director didn't correct these glaring errors. I picked up this CD at an after-Christmas sale at 75% off, and I will forever mourn the loss of my $5.00. I guess it might suffice as a mediocre white elephant gift, but I pity whomever may be forced to listen to it. I suggest you not waste your money. If it's classical Christmas carols you want, search for more well-known and trustworthy music groups like the London Philharmonic and the Cambridge Singers.

Very nice!.......2007-01-02

I have to agree with the other reviewers that this is a very enjoyable CD of traditional carols. It contains a huge selection of songs. I was afraid that they might all sound the same, but to me, the orchestration and vocals are varied and well done. I bought this for Christmas, and it's one of my favorite new Christmas CDs in recent memory.

The Holidays Never Sounded So Good!.......2005-12-17

I loved the "50 Most Loved Piano Classics," so I decided to try another "50 Most Loved" collection, this time the Christmas Carols album. These are classics in their own right as the arrangements and orchestrations are enchantingly beautiful and the choir vocals provide perfect point-counterpoint. I hate to admit this, but I'll probably still be listening to this CD long after Christmas is over. There's a cinematic soundtrack quality that I find haunting. Have a great holiday with this one!

Very pleased.......2005-11-23

This is an excellent value. 3 CD's and 50 songs for under $20.00. If you're looking for traditional Christmas music, this is the collection to buy.

Customer Reviews:

This CD is a "JOY, Thanks to John Williams' Music".......2004-12-15

I bought this one about 9 years ago mostly because the "Home Alone" songs and it is still one of my favorites. The arrangements are true John Williams style, captivating as always. My nephew who lives with me, grew up with this album and is now 14 still LOVES IT. He swears it's not Christmas without it. I guess I think the same way. I let a relative borrow it and was sorry when I did because I immediately missed it playing at my house. (I made her burn a copy right away.) I love the idea of original songs included with the traditional Christmas tunes to become instant classics. I wouldn't decorate my home without this CD playing in the background.

A Forgotten Christmas Collection.......2003-12-04

This Christmas collection by John Williams and the Boston Pops for Sony is a forgotten gem. It includes many Pops favorites such as Leroy Anderson's "A Christmas Festival" with choral arrangement, "Sleigh Ride" and "White Christmas" (again with vocals." It also has an arrangement of Alfred Burt's Christmas music as well as a medley of contemporary Christmas music. The true jewel in this recording is Williams' "Somewhere In My Memory" from HOME ALONE. Though this album is not as strong as the Christmas recording Williams' and the Pops did for Philips, it is still an enjoyable album.
