Enya at her finest.......2007-05-14

Oh, my goodness, what a HAUNTINGLY, beautiful cd this is!! I couldn't stop playing it during the holiday season last year.....Simply a MUST for any Enya fan.

scifigal.

Sounds of the Season by Enya.......2006-12-01

Needless to say, I was impressed with this CD by Enya. As soon as I found out on the Enya website that another Enya CD was being released, I quickly purchased Sounds of the Season. Enya's rendition of Adeste Fideles is wonderful, and Magic of the Night has to be my favorite single on this CD.

The Magic of Enya..........2006-11-21

If for nothing else, buy this for Enya's rendition of "Adeste, Fideles". It's a great addition to the holiday. Funny that a proper Christmas album has yet to be done - Enya's music fits so well into the winter months. Her melodies definitely warm things up.

Among the remaining traditional carols ("We Wish You A Merry Christmas" & the now classic, "Oíche Chiúin"), we get 2 original seasonal pieces.

"The Magic of the Night" has that Enya vibe we all know and love. Full of layered stings in a staccato waltz time. The perfect background for trimming the tree or the soundtrack to your holiday gathering.

"Christmas Secrets" is a sweet, delicate ballad. There is a longing for that special someone you're missing. With hope that distance won't keep you apart for Christmas: "So I am waiting here for you. If you don't come, what will I do? Who shall I tell my secrets to?"

Addtionally, "Amid the Falling Snow" shows up. It is lifted from 2005's "Amarantine."

Customer Reviews:

Legend's a Legend.......2007-01-01

This brief Christmas sampler is more moving and entertaining than a dozen over-produced CDs from our favorite artists. The four piano-voiced cuts are the greatest, but the inclusion of "It Don't Have to Change" from "Get Lifted", featuring the Stephens family, is an exquisite and totally appropriate choice to include on this heartfelt CD. Legend's "What a Wonderful World" pays tribute to the great Ray Charles while interpreting it as a Christmas treat. John Legend has many more treats to give us in his future. What a wonderful Christmas album.

Customer Reviews:

Wonderful CD.......2007-01-25

This CD has become the traditional music for our Christmas morning festivities. The dulcimer is played expertly, and the selection of songs is diverse and instrument appropriate. Because it is instrumental only, it can serve as nice background music for any holiday occassion. This has been our family's favorite holiday CD since we first acquired it four or five years ago.

A Christmas Favorite.......2006-12-04

This is a wonderful album which we have listened to for years. The variety of tunes is enjoyable. It makes a great Christmas gift, as well.

Appropriate Title.......2003-10-05

Unfortunately, many people - especially those who are employed in the record stores - would probably consider this 'New Age' or E/Z Listening Christmas music. That's because most of those record store people do not know their musical history. Nor do they probably care to as long as they have the so called holiday music of Mariah Carey and the like to dilute their senses.
This collection by Ms. Sansone is just one in a long line of Old World style Christmas Music (see my other reviews for more of this type of music) that is pretty much only available at Amazon. It's a great introduction to this type of instrumental Christmas music for those who want to get their feet wet, mainly because many of the wonderful well-known tunes are here: Deck The Halls, Joy To The World, God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen, etc. But it's the not-so-well-known tunes that really jump out at you, such as Abbot's Bromley Horn Dance, Wexford Carol, Gower Wassail, and Baloo Lammy. After a few listens you'll begin to recognize and anticipate these lesser known songs every bit as much as the popular ones. By the end of the Season you'll be scouring Amazon for more of this style of music - it becomes an addiction. Just ask anyone who collects it! Next thing you know you'll be playing it for your friends, who of course, will want copies of THEIR own. Then you realize something: you've been spending your Holiday Season listening almost exclusively to this Old World Christmas Music and you're not sick of it! And you don't even miss Santa Claus Is Coming To Town or Feliz Navidad or so many of the other over-played carols! Because you now have fresh Christmas music to give you the spirit.
A fine collection to brighten the Holidays.

My all-time favorite Christmas music........2001-12-15

Hammered dulcimer lends a magical, peaceful quality to the holiday spirit in the air. Throw on the Christmas tree lights, mull some cider and kick up your heels (either in a jig or on an ottoman!)to these uplifting, instrumental versions of traditional carols. Mixed in are wonderful medleys of melodies that round out the cast of regulars perfectly: #9 ("Il Est Ne/Jeannette Isabella) brightens my mood every time I hear it.

Favorite holiday recording.......2000-01-05

Maggie Sansone's Sounds of the Seasons is an absolutely sensational recording. After listening to it every year I just enjoy it more and more. You will love it!

Delicate Dulcimer Holiday Treatment.......2000-07-27

This rendition of familiar and not so familiar carols by hammered dulcimer and other accompanying instruments is nothing if not pleasant. It is particularly effective with respect to the older compositions to which it gives an historic quality, and creates a slightly different but very enjoyable sound. Looking for old wine in different bottles? You've come to the right place.

Customer Reviews:

The Blenders are the Kings of Christmas!.......2007-05-17

The Blenders are great at what they do, and they are best at singing A Capella, and Christmas music is their forte. They have put out four Christmas CDs, one of which is a greatest hits type of CD of their Christmas music (Holiday Best). We have the other three CDs including this one, which are all great Christmas music. We have been known to listen to these CDs even when it isn't Christmas. They have great arrangements and cover traditional Christmas music as well as having some nice originals and lesser known Christmas songs. There are no repeats of songs between the three CDs which include Nog (which has also been released under the name Christmas A Capella style with the Blenders) When It Snows, and Most Wonderful Time. These three are our all time favorite Christmas CDs.

The Blenders have done it again--these guys are amazing!!!!.......2005-12-01

This is the 4th of The Blenders Christmas offerings (the 3rd being a composite of songs from the 1st 2 recordings) and it does not disappoint. The a cappella version of "I Wonder as I Wander" moved me to tears. Don't let the "a cappella" label fool you--this is like no a cappella you've ever heard. Percussion aside, these arrangements are so rich that you'd SWEAR there is instrumentation, and their execution is flawless! Very contemporary--something for everyone. None of my Christmas recordings sees as much play as my Blenders cd's. You'll want them all in your collection!
