Platinum Christmas

Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com
Rarely is a compilation record as satisfying as Platinum Christmas is, but it's not due so much to the N'Sync's' rather whiny take on "I Don't Want to Spend One More Christmas Without You," the showy vocal gymnastics of Christina Aguilera on "Silent Night," or even Carlos Santana's enigmatic noodling on "Posada (Pilgrimage to Bethlehem)" as it is to some of the "lesser" lights on the disc who turn in the most memorable performances. For instance, Christian rockers Jars of Clay whip up a stunningly rhythmic version of "Little Drummer Boy" that borders on reggae, spiked with an ingenious bass line and a sinewy, liquid guitar that elevate the song above mere holiday cover material. Also, former Faithless vocalist Dido's strong and bracing acceptance of lost love on the gothic, delightfully chilling "Christmas Day" and Joe's urbane and single-minded "This Christmas" distinguish this collection from the usual holiday combo plate. But that's not to say that Britney Spears's breathy "My Only Wish (This Year)" isn't irresistible (conjuring up visions of Phil Spector dancing in our heads), or that TLC's wickedly self-indulgent "Sleigh Ride" doesn't shine like drugstore tinsel. And it's the effortless and graceful musings of Dave Matthews on the spiritually uplifting "Christmas Song" and Toni Braxton's sparse and elegant rendering of Nat King Cole's "The Christmas Song" that really help to make the season bright. --Jaan Uhelszki

5 out of 5 stars So good we gave the CD as a gift.......2007-01-09

We put this CD in our car on Thanksgiving and enjoy it for a whole month. We gave it as a gift to a friend who heard it in our car and loved it.

5 out of 5 stars Liona Boyd Xmas - Magical........2004-12-17

My brother gave this album (yes, ALBUM( to my parents one year, and I fell in love with her music. I bought the CD, and it kept me company on an 11 hour drive from Manhattamn to Erie, but I left it in the rental car and had no luck finding it anywhere until someone reco'd Amazon.
This is a great gift idea for people you haven't a clue what to buy for XMAS. It truly is a guft that keeps on giving

5 out of 5 stars My No. 1 Christmas Album.......2002-11-24

Guitar for Christmas is a wonderful and charming piece of work. It's my all-time favourite Christmas album. I own a lot of Guitar Christmas music and a lot of instrumental ones and this one is by miles the best one i've got. The arrangements are fantastic. Highlights include: What Child Is This? Blessed Jesus, Christmas Overture (O Come All Ye Faithful Medley) and it contains the best version of The Little Drummer Boy I have ever heard. Away in a Manger and Silent Night are also very interesting, and very well played.
The Album has other instruments too. There are strings, flutes, oboes, a Trumpet and some minor percussions. Most of the songs are calm and relaxing, other songs are faster and almost dancable, like the fantastic Yuletide Garland (Holly and the Ivy Fantasy) and Parade of Toy Soldiers, both arraned by Eric Robertson. I recommend this Album to every one looking for good Christmas music. I give it five stars.

5 out of 5 stars Exquisite!.......2002-10-29

An enchanting, gentle, charming collection of popular and classical holiday tunes. NOT to be confused with those bland, boring new-age guitarists. Ms. Boyd is an accomplished artist, joined here and there by a variety of other sympathetic instrumentalists. One of the very best holiday instrumental CDs.

    3 out of 5 stars Good program but awful Violin Concerto.......2006-08-10

    A lot of music for very little money. All of the performances are excellent except for the violin concerto. The violinist here cannot play this music up to contemporary standards. If you want this concerto for very little money, look for the version by Emmy Verhey. She is an outstanding violinist and her performance really sings. She also recorded many Beethoven sonatas and they too are wonderful.

    5 out of 5 stars My favorite album!.......2006-11-28

    Years later, this one is STILL my favorite! You will love it.

    5 out of 5 stars The Best CD?.......2006-11-24

    YES!!! This is the best CD to have for the holidays. I listen to it in the car while Christmas shopping and everything. The CD itself is great looking, a great looking platinum snowflake. I have owned it in the past and just ordered another. NEVER keep it out of the original cover. Its worth guarding. It is a MUST BUY!!!

    5 out of 5 stars Makes You Wish Christmas Was Year Round.......2005-11-30

    I love this CD. My favorite songs are Brittney Spears' My Only Wish This Year, NSYNC's I Don't Wanna Spend One More Christmas Without You, Christina Aguilera's Silent Night, TLC's Sleigh Ride, and R. Kelly's World Christmas. I love the other songs too, but these are just my favorite ones. This CD is worth buying. It puts you in the holiday mood. I can listen to it all year round.

    4 out of 5 stars Everyone Needs This CD To Get Them In The Mood.......2004-10-29

    I baught this cd years ago when it first came out, around 2000.
    The reason I baught it was for Britney Spears' "My Only Wish [This Year]". Even if you don't like Britney, you will love this song.
    All the songs on this CD are good, you will not be dissapointed. I start listing to this CD in October and will listen to it all the way through until January. I gave this a 4 & not a 5 because I think instead of like TLC's song or Dido's song, I would rather hear like Kylie Minogue, or Kelly Clarkson sing a Christmas song, or even put a little Stacie Orrico on there, because those 2 songs don't please me at all.
    So if you are debating on whether to buy this or not, I would have to say BUY IT!
    I put track 1 on repeat the whole time i'm wrapping Christmas presents, you'll never get sick of it!

    2 out of 5 stars it's aight.......2004-02-11

    I got this recently for some tracks&It's alright.I got to Hear R.kelly's "World Christmas" which is cool.Hit&Miss through out but some decent tracks.

              5 out of 5 stars Clever, elegant and shockingly good.......2006-12-01

              When I picked up this unimpressively packaged disc at my local Big Lots for a dollar, I wasn't expecting much. I thought "hey, for a buck, why not?" reasoning that if it had one good song on it I could use it as part of a mixed CD for my Christmas parties and still feel like it was a value. I was floored. This may actually be the finest modern Christmas album I've heard to date. It's swing, but not kitschy and the arrangements are as unexpected as they are catchy. I'm not sure of the band performing or who did the arrangements --no credit is given to either on the disc I have-- but I'm glad I risked the dollar. I wound up with a great, timeless Christmas album.

              4 out of 5 stars Great, inexpensive swing compilation.......2004-12-17

              For the money, you can't go wrong with this disc if you're a fan of Christmas and swing. My fav tracks are Vodka Vountry and God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen, although there's not a bad track on here.

              One one track has singing (Santa Clause Is Coming to Town) and the rest is just instrumental. Great for background music if having a party.

              If you like Ultra-Lounge: Christmas Cocktails, you'll love this as well.
