Music reviews of A Traditional Christmas Carol Collection

Music Review: Excellent Traditional Carol Collection
Rating: 5 Stars

A Traditional Christmas Carol Collection is probably the best traditional Christmas CD I have heard---and I have an impressive collection of Christmas music: both traditional and more contemporary. It's on par with the offerings of the Academy of St. Martin-in-the-Fields or King's College Choir, but the recording is very new, and has very little noise or tape-to-disk artifacts. In other words, it's qualitatively the same in terms of performance, but significantly better in terms of recording technology.

I enthusiastically purchased the CD from iTunes as soon as I heard it, then purchased a CD from Amazon as a gift a week or so later.

I'm a fan of Christmas carols in general, and choral versions in particular. A Traditional Christmas Carol Collection might well be the ultimate expression of that combination. In fact, my only real complaint against the CD is that there are only 21 songs on it. If they had performed a two- or three-disk set... that would have been truly perfect.

This is certainly "traditional" in an English sense, not an American one. There are some carols here you won't hear too frequently in America (unless, like me, you listen to King's College Choir at Christmas). But they're wonderfully done.

If you're looking for something trendy or tacky for a party, this isn't it. And if you prefer to think of Christmas as "solstice" or "the holidays", then this might be a little overtly Christian for you. But if you want something to make your spirit soar as you sit by a fire, nursing an eggnog or a brandy; this is the one you want.
