A good value.......2007-05-17
I wasn't expecting to have 4 discs for this price, and the music is a quality selection of film music, giving a good scope of the genre, and a very listenable transfer.
The Sound Track Since Bernard Hermann.......2006-07-25
This collection is bound to capture your heart and evoke a tin ear on successive tracks. I found much to like and some duds - easy to skip over.
Very good value.
Good mix of film music.......2006-07-02
Good mix of films!
I'm a big fan of this soundtrack music and will be looking for more CD's like this.
A mixed collection of movie music.......2006-02-23
For the price, this CD is a great bargain. The musical selections, as you might expect, are mixed in quality ranging from extraordinary to so so, the balance being worthwhile and interesting. Sonically the CD is excellent.

I have been listening to great scores for many years and this collection is truly inspirational in so far as the choice of different scores takes you on a journey of listening pleasure matched by only a few collections.The price is incredibly reasonable for hours of listening pleasure. Don't pass this one up

Customer Reviews:
One of the best.......2007-01-26
Christmas starts with the playing of any track of this album; it is one of the best holiday albumn ever made.
My Gift to You.......2007-01-22
This is an excellent CD. The original music is eloquent and touching. Alexander O'Neal's vocal range allows him to hit every note without any apparent strain. This CD needs to be in everyone's music collection. And played every year during the Christmas season.
Alexander O'Neal + Jimmy Jam + Terry Lewis + Christmas = OUTSTANDING.......2007-01-15
GREAT new songs keep you toe tapping and singing along. Reworks of some standards are up to Alexander O'Neals wonderful voice and interpretation. True, this album was released many years ago, but it holds up to the test of time.
Alex does it again!.......2007-01-10
I have always like Alex's music. This Christmas cd of his is great. It has uplifting music that make you want to get up and dance. I would suggest to anyone who is looking for a great cd to buy this one!!
My Gift to You is nice........2006-12-22
The title track is awesome! Remember Why should be the theme for the season. His version of the Christmas Song is GOOD! It's a shame that it does not get the air play that others get.

Customer Reviews:
a wonderful gift.......2007-07-07
I did not know who Hayley Westenra was until I saw her performing on PBS. She has a really beautiful voice. This cd is a Christmas cd that she has recorded. Some songs are traditional Christmas songs and others are inspirational tunes. I recommend it.
I loved her other cd's but not this one........2007-03-05
I was disappointed when i recieved this cd. Not worth the price.
soothing music.......2007-02-11
Hayley Westenra is the best. I thought this would be Valentines Day music or the like, but it is more like simulated Christmas / religious. The title does say "gift", but when I read the description before buying I did not think Christmas music.
Haley Westerna My Gift to You CD.......2007-01-05
Great CD. She has a remarkable voice.
Celtic Woman and Haley Westenra.......2006-12-14
Celtic Woman is probably the best kept secret in the music world. I caught their show on our KCPT public television station and thought it was the best show they have ever aired. I have told my friend about Celtic Woman and they rave about them also. My favorite of all of the girls is Haley Westenra, but all of them are super and can stand alone on their individual talent. I can't say enough about the violin playing girl on the dvd, she is remarkable and mezmorizing to say the least. If you appreciate good quality entertainment, you can't miss with a purchase of Celtic Woman.

Album Description
This CD contains John's most essential choral music and is released just days before his 60th birthday. Rutter is best known as a composer of choral music and so this disc is a fitting way to celebrate. The disc surveys a variety of the composer's styles and accomplishments from his career including a few rarities as well as his best-loved pieces, both sacred and secular. The works are performed by the Cambridge Singers, a choir that Rutter had formed in 1981 and which has gone on to attain astounding results. 22 tracks. Universal. 2005.

Actually a very good album.......2005-03-01
I own this release - on cassette, that's how long I've had it! I generally don't like Christmas albums, but I bought this one anyway purely becuase I loved Alexander O'Neal's voice and I knew that the combination of him on vocals and Jam/Lewis on production could not fail. The album also features the Ann Nesby & the Sound of of Blackness on some track.
I would have been fine with this album as a 3/5, it actually turned out the be much better than that, more like a 4/5, points being docked on GP just for being a Christmas album!
Not coincidentally, Jam & Lewis are devout Christians and the SOund sof Blackness is a legit Greammy-winning Gospel Choir in its own right, so the albums gets real love and devotion from the makers. They clearly did not see this as just merely a cynical marketing opportunity, its a labour of love. The vocal performance from Alex is top notch and Jam & Lewis do inspired work here. There was only one backing track that was obviously borrowed whole-hog from their previosu work. The rest is recognizable but not stale.
Even if you dont like Christmas albums (as I dont) I suspect that you may like this album just for the sheer quality of it. Its one of the few xmas albums that I keep playing every year!
CHRISTMAS MUSIC AT IT"S BEST.......2004-11-28
This is the greatest Christmas album ever put together by one artist. Alexander O'neal bring his sould to Christmas through his music and he deliver a absolute classic. "My Gift To You" the title track is nuthing short of amazing. "Our First Christmas" is a beautiul Christmas love song. From beginning to end this album is just amazing. Believe me... You have to get this for Christmas.
My Favorite Christmas Tape.......2002-12-12
I always look forward to playing my Alexander O'neal Chrismas tape every year. I love this tape. it's a gift to me.
My favorite song is Thank You For A Good Year.
One of the Best!.......2002-12-10
This is probably my favorite Christmas cd in my collection. I have loved it since it came out(I had to search to get a replacement cd when my tape broke). My 2 and 1/2 year old son is now singing along with the Chritmas songs. Alexander O'Neal does traditonal and contemporary equally well. His beautiful voice, the lush production and the sequence of ballads and uptempo Chritmas music makes this equally good for relaxing at home and keeping you motivated in a workplace. You feel the holidays when this is on. Find it, add it to your collection!!!

Album Description
Shaker music is a unique body of American sacred folk music, created by eighteen American Shaker communities over a period of one hundred and forty years (1780-1920). This rich tradition of song continues to serve the Shaker community in the twenty-first century because it embodies their history, records the testimony of Shakers "who have gone before," articulates the religious principles on which Shakerism is founded, and reflects the faith of the contemporary community. Shaker music was created and nurtured in communities that prized isolation from worldly ways. Shaker melodies, although related to the larger tradition of Anglo-American folk songs, are not bound by their form, tonality, melodic or rhythmic structure.
The Enfield Shaker singers are a vocal ensemble of adults and children devoted to the study and performance of Shaker music. The group is open to all without audition, and is made up of both trained musicians and amateur singers. We draw heavily on the repertoire received or composed in the two societies that were the New Hampshire BishopricCanterbury and Enfield. Since the New Hampshire societies enriched their repertoire with songs from all the other Shaker communities, they also sing songs of the New York, Maine, Massachusetts, Ohio and Kentucky Shakers.
The Enfield Shaker Singers are drawn to Shaker spirituals that illuminate Shaker communal values and broaden our definitions of the sacred. The songs included on this recording illustrate some of the many ways music served Shaker communities. Most Shaker song texts are theologically direct, emotionally honest, and expressive of our shared humanity.
On this recording we offer thirty-nine songs we have come to love. Some have special meaning for individuals. We associate others with a particular singer in the group, or an occasion when it was sung. Each song offers us slightly different insights into Shaker aspiration, and Shaker faith. We hope that, through this recording, others will also come to love and sing them too. Mary Ann Haagen, from the liner notes
Customer Reviews:
Religious music from the 19th century.......2007-07-07
If one likes the songs of the Shakers written in the late 18th and early 19 century that were without musical instruments, then you may like this CD. I found 8 songs out of the 30 or more on the CD that I liked, the others I did not care for much. This is no fault of the creators of the Cd, it is simply the style of the Shakers of the past.
A wonderful listening treat.......2005-01-11
This CD is a delight! The simple melodies, surprising harmonies, and clarity of the voices makes you want to sing along. Listening makes one smile, regardless of one's religious persuasion. Thank you for giving us these songs and preserving the tradition of this music.
