 Superb renditions and unrivalled ambience, 2010-01-01
Because my extensive CD collection was sadly bereft of any Christmas music I decided to rectify that situation, and this year I purchased the following Christmas CDs:
i) A Classic Christmas
ii) The John Rutter Christmas Album
iii) Nöel - Christmas at Kings
iv) Legends Christmas Collection
If I were to rank this CD amongst those four, I would put it firmly in first position; the clear winner.
Whilst I do note the varied recording quality is a negative issue with some purchasers, for me it is exactly the opposite. How magical to find that on this wonderful CD there are recordings from as far back as 1959! FIFTY YEARS AGO... What joy! What an honour to be able to put these discs in one's player and drift back to an age when the world was on the cusp of modernity, when society still had structure, morals and the social contract was still firmly in place. It is amazing to think that those youngsters who sang so beautifully on these varied recordings and fathers and possible grandfathers, what an amazing thought!
It is rare to find such a slice of history that has stood the test of time so well and remains as appropriate and joyous to the listening audience today as it did half a century back. Surely this CD does, and is a definite must for anyone interested in not only English Christmas Music, but also the wider historical and anthropological reverberations.

An excellent reminder of the traditional sound of Christmas., 2000-12-11
I bought this CD last Christmas and was enchanted with it. Some tracks have become firm favourites: Adeste, fideles; Es sungen drei Engel and the Queen's College Boar's Head Carol. I'm so impressed with the CD I've come back for more as a present for ex patriot friends.

A Lovely CD! One of my best purchases!, 2005-05-02
This music to me was an inspiration to my daily life... the enriching words spoken by the holy Pope John Paul II lifted me up thorughout the day and provided me with a great boost of moral to get through the days which i would have found harder to get through without this cd... it is uplifting and i can say it helped me a lot to rediscover my path to God! Worth buying... i would recomend this cd to everyone! I would not pass out the opportunity to have such a great album... believe me, if you buy it, you will not be dissapointed!

Artist:
Mantovani
Santa's Choice, 2008-12-02
This is fantastic music ... AND it's Christmas music. This is what a real Christmas ambience is all about. You may think Mantovani is not hip, but he's up there with the very best, a true wizard judging by this CD. A must-buy.
