My favorite.......2004-11-30

As someone else stated, I had this tape years ago and it was my very favorite. I lost it and couldn't remember the title. I looked in music stores - everywhere. I finally did a search on Amazon.com. The one song I really remembered was "Man from Casaeria". The music was beautiful. I finally found the name of the album and was thrilled to see that I could still order it. I have it on my computer now and play it whenever I want to hear relaxing music - Christmas or not! It is the BEST ever CD!!!!!! P.S. I have since also found the tape I had lost!

~ MAGICAL~.......2003-10-24

Ok, so I collect holiday CD's and have Many! THIS one is my all time favorite. The whole family loves it. We take it out Thanksgiving and play it non-stop through the holidays. It is hard to describe because of the different melodies, some serene, some lively. Did I mention that I love this cd?!

Quiet and Beautiful Music for the Season.......2003-08-23

This collection is one of the top three albums of my over 500 CD collection of holiday music. I find The Man from Ceasaria to bring a refreshing MidEast flavor to any celebration, and the Return of the Magi is especially moving. John Doan's version of God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen is one of the perfect evocations of how the holiday feels as you're packing up the ornaments and reflecting on all that's happened in this season and seasons past.

This album is especially suited to sitting quietly by the fire or dozing off to sleep -- or anytime that the joy and hecticness of the season threatens to make you forget the real reasons behind it.

THIS ONE GOT ME STARTED.....................2003-08-06

THIS ALONG WITH DAVID ARKENSTONE'S "ENCHANTMENT" GOT ME STARTED WITH THE NARADA COLLECTIONS. THERE ARE NEW SONGS AND OLD SONGS DONE IN A NEW FASHION ON THIS CD. IT IS SIMPLY WONDERFUL. GET
THIS ONE AND ALL THE NARADA COLLECTION FOR A SUPER CHRISTMAS
FILLED WITH THE BEST MUSIC IN THE WORLD......

TRUE CHRISTMAS MEANING.......2002-12-13

There are no words to describe this CD. I have many, many holiday cd's (I collect them) and I always start off the season and end it w/ this one. The melodies are so tender and sweet and at the same time they are also vaguely reminiscent of days gone by, a gentler era and time. You can almost feel the stress melting away as you slip into holiday relaxation mode. Buy it for a true friend, they will thank you!

Excellent Christmas CD!.......2005-11-04

Yeah I'm a big Narada fan and this, in my opinion, is their best Chrismas CD. I bought it while stationed in Germany in 1992 and the music coupled with living in that part of the world at that time of year was just magical. My favorite song is the first...no doubt. But they are all great. A must CD for your holiday collection.

The best X-mas CD ever.......2004-12-22

I love this CD. I first got it on cassette tape in the mid 1990s, wore out that tape, bought another one, and finally got the CD. The version of the First Noel is the most beautiful I have ever heard, and The Evergreen Song is touchingly done. I would recommend this CD to anyone who loves Christmas music, and music in general. I listen to it even in the summer!

Not usually a new age fan, but..........2004-12-14

This album is my favorite Christmas album. The classics are so well done! And the new original songs - with a little marketing, they could become classics. "Song of the Evergreen" & "Gloria" are especially wonderful.

GREAT CHRISTMAS MUSIC.............2003-08-06

AS WITH ALL THE NARADA CHRISTMAS COLLECTIONS YOU GET WONDERFUL
MUSIC WITH GREAT ARTISTS. THIS IS A WONDERFUL CHRISTMAS CD. ONE
I FEEL EVERYONE SHOULD HAVE WHO LOVES CHRISTMAS MISIC......

I like it.......2001-12-11

Of the three Neurotic Xmas releases, I suspect that this is my favorite. It has a warm feel with all of the songs definitely having their own personality. I really liked song number 8 (rock the herald angels) until someone in my office said it sounded a little "tesh-y"! Omigod it does! But I still like it! It would be nice if the Neurotic folks could put together a volume 4. Certainly if you like Christmas music, you'll enjoy this. If you are in the mood for something a little more spiritually inclined for your Christmas listening, then this is the CD for you (along with the other two). The GRP collections are wonderful too.
