Most people think of Christmas carols as originating from ancient--or at least olden-times, and indeed, many of the most enduring ones have survived for many centuries. Andrew Parrott and his Taverner Consort take us back seven centuries, in fact, and thoughtfully mix the old tunes ("Swete was the song," "This endere nyghth," "Nova! nova!") with more recent tunes. Parrott's musicians offer interesting takes on such familiar carols as "Silent Night" and "God rest ye merry, gentlemen." "Silent Night" sounds like an Austrian folk tune, complete with guitar accompaniment that reportedly was used in its original performance; "God rest ye..." is performed in the style of an English country church congregation--and uses a different tune from the one we usually hear. Various period instruments add to the color and flavor, and the arrangements are original and very effective. --David VernierCustomer Reviews:
My favorite Christmas CD of all time.......2006-12-21
Another reviewer said there wasn't any joy in these performances, and I say, "Humbug!" As beauty is in the eye of the beholder, joy is in the ear of the listener, and I couldn't receive this music without being transported to bliss.
As to the first track ("Veni, Veni Emmanuel") and audibility issues many have complained about, it's apparent that the a capella singing gets louder and louder as the chant progresses and we, the listeners, are being given the experience of sitting in a large cathedral as the choristers make their processional from the distant back of the nave up the center aisle and into the choir stalls in the chancel. That's why the music is barely audible at first and gets gradually louder, until it has full of volume. It's also why it's the very first track -- the choristers are processing in to begin the concert.
Hearing "Stille Nacht, heilige Nacht" performed using its original tune and what is held to be and very likely is the original guitar accompaniment from 1818 was a revelation -- I no longer sing the "improved" version of the tune that has become universal. It has the character of a Tyrolean folk song, light, joyous, reverent, and close to the hearts of the people singing and hearing it in that small Alpine church.
In fact, what's great about this album is that each carol conveys its original joy. The experience is enhanced by the welcome notes in the accompanying booklet that tell you about the history and background of each carol, the particulars of the version being performed, and more.
This CD is like a box of See's chocolates for the ear. The Taverner Consort, Singers and Players eventually came out with a second volume ("The Carol Album 2") and that's definitely worth having, too.

My Very Favourite Christmas Album.......2005-12-25
Something different -- very enjoyable.......2001-12-16
The performances are not arranged chronologically, but rather in contrasting and complimentary order, alternating unaccompanied with accompanied, vocal with instrumental. Both the vocal and instrumental ensembles have a range of styles and sonorities. Compare, for example, the brash open sound of "The Babe of Bethlehem" and "Glory to God on High" with the restrained pure sound of "This endere nyghth" or the full sound of "Christum wir sollen loben schon."
The booklet contains notes and texts as well as a list of players, but do not identify the various soloists.

The Best Christmas Collection.......2005-12-09
This is the greatest Album I know of. It includes forty or should I say thirty-eight great tracks as two of them I think aren't (Angels & The Power Of Love). It includes Happy Xmas (War Is Over), Do They Know It's Christmas, Merry Xmas Everybody and many more. Many cover versions of songs like Last Christmas and Fairytale Of New York are also included. It is still a great CD.
If someone asks for a Christmas CD, get this one.
Jake Potts
A strong collection.......2003-11-05
Many classic UK hits are here (and one or two non-hits that should have been), including Happy Xmas (John Lennon), Do they know its Christmas (Band aid), Merry Christmas everybody (Slade), I wish it could be Christmas every day (Wizzard), Wonderful Christmastime (Paul McCartney), Baby it's cold outside (Tom Jones with Cerys from Catatonia), Step into Christmas (Elton John), Little Saint Nick (Beach boys), Rocking around the Christmas tree (Brenda Lee), In dulci Jubilo (Mike Oldfield), Stop the cavalry (Jona Lewie), The power of love (Frankie goes to Hollywood), I believe in Father Christmas (Greg Lake), A spaceman came travelling (Chris De Burgh), Mistletoe and wine (Cliff Richard), White Christmas (Bing Crosby), The Christmas song (Nat King Cole), Walking in the air (Aled Jones), Lonely this Christmas (Mud) and Millennium prayer (Cliff Richard).
Fairytale of New York, Driving home for Christmas, When a child is born, Last Christmas, A winter's tale and Santa baby were also huge UK hits, but the original artists are not here - the versions of these songs are all covers.
Many other pop and rock singers of the eighties and nineties are also represented. There are excellent original Christmas songs by Robbie Williams and S club 7, while there are fine covers of classic songs by several others.
This is a very strong compilation of Christmas music with something for everybody.

Awesome Man of God.......2005-06-14
I often wonder why you have not as yet won a stellar? Yes I believe that your cd is that great. As a matter of fact, I am a jock for the Fm gospel station in New Orleans,Praise 94.9FM, and I played "Nu Creation", so if anybody hasn't heard they will!
But thank you again for being obedient and yeilding to the voice of God with these two projects.
The Cd's are not a replica sort to speak of Kirk Franklin but they have a uniqueness about them that reaches out to people of all backgrounds. If you are looking to buy this product...I promise you you will not be disappointed. I think that these two cd's are better than Tye Tribbet. I can't wait till the third CD releases. And Thank you cd now for selling the cd.
Hopefully I can get you to New Orleans to do a concert or something..can't wait to see you perform again. (...)
In Christ
