Music reviews of Joy to the World
Music Review: One of the best in symphonic Christmas music
Rating: 4 Stars
For fans of John Williams and fans of Christmas music, and of course, the frequent overlap, this JOY TO THE WORLD album is almost a necessity. I look forward each year to playing this one.
It boasts a reading of "Twas The Night Before Christmas" by Robin Williams, which is on the same memorable scale as Perry Como's. My personal favorite track is "The March of the Toys" from BABES IN TOYLAND. And also, almost an added bonus, is the inclusion of lesser-known carols beautifully compiled in an equally beautifully titled medley: The Christmas Bouquet. This track includes little-known and seldom-played carols like "We'll Dress the House," "The Star Carol," "Nigh Bethlehem," and "Jesu Parvule."
My only complaint is that my favorite Christmas Carol, "O Holy Night," is only a mere footnote in a medley instead of being whole and complete. "O Holy Night" sounds majestic when played well by an orchestra (and who could make it sound better than John Williams?). I didn't mind the inclusion of a few of the HOME ALONE tracks, after all they are very enjoyable pieces. But if we have those in their entirety then surely they could have given us "O Holy Night" in its entirety as well.
Oh well, enough complaining from me. This is a great Christmas CD, and I can't believe it's being sold for such a low price ($7.00 as of my typing this). Buy it, and you won't regret it.
