 This collection makes my Christmases bright! October 25, 1998
5 out of 5 found this review helpful
I am a big fan of this group and can not say strongly enough how well their performance comes across on their recordings. I have heard this collection in person and on the CD and they are always great! The conductor has arranged many of the tunes and always adds something new for the listener -- familiar tunes seem to take on a new life. Among my favorites on this collection are the title song, the "Ave Maria"(an arrangement I had not heard before), and "The Sheperds' Farewell". All of the songs lift the spirit and put you in the mood for Christmas (although I have listened to this collection in the middle of the summer). I highly recommend this collection to music lovers and to Christmas lovers!
 Disappointed November 17, 2001

The quality of the recording is muddy. It was recorded in a cathedral for the luxury of the pipe organ (not a portable instrument!) To be fair, the music is done well and I enjoyed learning new choral arrangments, but the recording is not clean and crisp. I'm sure it's a nice memento if you saw a great live concert of the group, otherwise, skip it.
The Biebl Ave Maria alone is worth the price of this disc December 7, 2002

A wonderful Christmas disc - though not as smooth and in tune as the Camerata's newer Christmas disc under former Chanticleer Director, Frank Albinder. That being said, the disc is nonetheless lovely. My favorite track is the recording of Franz Biebl's wonderfully moving Ave Maria. It radiates beautiful overtones and warm rich harmonies. (I can't wait until the Camerata records this splendid work under the direction of Maestro Albinder). The Soprano soloist is also a sheer delight. Her smooth lyrical voice is the perfect complement to the warm rich sound of this fine men's chorus.

Beautiful classic music for Christmas ... brings back memories of Junior High and High School Choir concerts!
