I just has the great fortune to see them in concert, and they are amazing. Their renditions of Christmas songs bring new life to carols and winter songs that have been lifelessly covered so many times that they have become all but tired and stale. They infuse modern compositions with medieval instruments (and some modern ones--electric woodwinds, anyone?) and turn out incredible new sounds to these songs. Favorites include "God Rest Ye Merry, Gentlemen," both the traditional version played on strings and the modern version that gets more radio play; "Deck the Halls"; a gorgeously-rendered verion of "Greensleeves"; and "Fum, Fum, Fum," the only recording I've ever heard of this Catalan carol, that makes you want to get up and dance. If you think you've heard every Christmas song too many times, give this CD a listen, and your interest in holiday music will revitalize.Read full review
I love this CD!! It has the best of the best of Mannheim Steamroller. I play it for hours. It brings the spirit of Christmas into my home and heart so beautifully. I would recommend it to anyone looking for a Holly Jolly Christmas and music that can bring that atmosphere into your life. Manheim Steamroller owns Christmas music and this CD delivers their best!! Play it all year round and keep that glorious spirit of Christmas every day.
I ALWAYS LIKE TO SEARCH FOR MUSIC AND HAVE LOTS OF GOOD CDS THAT I PLAY. I LOOK FOR NEW, GOOD VALUE AND PEOPLE THAT KNOW WHAT THEY HAVE AND ARE EAGER TO TELL YOU ANYTHING YOU WANT TO KNOW. THESE ARE MY KIND OF PEOPLE. I HAVE BEEN A BUYER FOR SEVERAL YEARS AND FEEDBACK IS IMPORTANT TO ME AS WELL AS TO THE SELLER. I HAVE HAD SO FEW PROBLEMS I COULD COUNT ON ONE HAND AND HAVE 3 FINGERS LEFT, ALL SOLVED, NO QUESTION TO MY SATISFACTION. I LOVE EBAY AND MAYBE WILL START SELLING. MILLIE KAAT
This collection is one of the best of Mannheim Steamroller, as my title says. Beautiful music and talented singers when singing is done. Chip Davis truly outdid himself with this one! Great value and a beautiful to celebrate Christmas!
