This Christmas album is terrific. I got the CD+DVD version, with 3 bonus tracks. Sarah Brightman's voice gives a peculiar aspect to the songs. It's great to play during the Christmas time, and also great to listen any time during the year, because the songs transmit peace and inspiration, things that are useful any time.
With such a lovely voice as Ms Brightman has, it seems a shame to drown it with all the HEAVY musicians on the CD. At times, it was difficult to tell is she was even singing. I would never buy this CD again nor would I recommend it.
I was excited to get the CD, but then I couldn't even listen to a single song all the way through. It sounds like she is singing through her nose and attempting to sound young. the sound comes out much cleaner. The same thing is happening to Charlotte Church. I don't have a problem with the high register when the voice is clean. Actually, the only time I could stand listening to her in this CD is when she hits the high notes because she has to open her mouth to do it. I haven't listened to a lot of Sarah Brightman, but I love her in Phantom and a few odds-and-ends songs I have heard her sing. It gave me a headace.
I much prefer the ladies of Celtic Women, Amici, and Sissel. It is painful to listen to. Their voices are lovely. Same horrible voice throughout the CD. Her voice was painful to listen to, and I love listening to opera style singing. These ladies were praised for beautiful voices when they were young, and now are trying to hard to keep the same sound.
I figured it was just the song, so I went to the next song. Very disappointed. It's not working. Wish Amici would do a Christmas CD.
Love her voice. It's so pretty. This is my first CD of hers, would like to have more.
On this album very well and accurately convey the mood of celebration and mystery of Christmas is a good director's work and of course a magnificent voice, a decent album for all the New Year:)
