Review A Danish Christmas / Naxos:Offering 77 minutes of music and a 28-page booklet with Danish and English texts, A Danish Christmas is an anthology comparable to the best full-price releases. Insightful notes by Andrew Smith explain the significance of carols in the traditional Danish Christmas celebrations, helpfully setting the scene for this celebratory collection. Here is elegantly appealing music by composers famous (Carl Nielson's tender, "My Heart Always Wanders"), unfamiliar (Egil Harder's "The Christmas Tree With Its Decorations") and unknown-for many of these carols derive from the folk tradition. "Praise Be To You, Jesus Christ" is one of four carols to feature exquisite soprano singing from one of Musica Ficta's excellent soloists, though the majority depend purely upon the ensemble's finely balanced choral sound. Formed in 1996 by composer and conductor Bo Holton, this group are splendidly accomplished, whether it be with simple monophonic lines, or the more complex and thrilling polyphony of "What A Great Throng And Noise". They have also recorded a programme of church music by Ockeghem, which includes a fine Requiem. -Gary S. Dalkin.

Review A Very Special Christmas, Vol. 4: Live / Various:The Very Special Christmas series has become almost as much of a Christmas tradition as decking the halls and trimming the tree. Although lacking the charm and breadth of previous in-studio discs, Special Christmas Live partially makes up the deficit with interesting pairings. There's Mary J Blige and Sheryl Crow "Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree," Eric Clapton and Crow doing "Merry Christmas Baby," Clapton and John Popper trading licks in "Christmas Blues," and old Slowhand and Tracy Chapman reprising Chapman's delicious "Give Me One Reason," a tune that has absolutely nothing to do with Christmas. Obviously Clapton-heavy (there's even a solo slot with the blues ballad "Christmas Tears"), the set also includes Jon Bon Jovi getting on his knees to plead "Please Come Home for Christmas" and "Christmas (Baby, Please Come Home"), Vanessa Williams singing "What Child Is This," and Chapman doing a soulful acoustic take of "O Holy Night. " The all-star line-up closes en masse with "Santa Claus Is Coming to Town. " -Martin Keller.

Review Christmas Album [Us Import] / Michael Crawford:Backed by lush orchestration and a choir of quite formal carolers, Michael Crawford's A Christmas Album plays as an elegant concert rather than a random collection of seasonal ditties. An entertainment embracing the good news of Christ's birth, A Christmas Album is thankfully not something we'll hear booming all over town as we shop till we drop. Instead, this is precisely the type of recording one might enjoy at home with family while making an advent wreath or preparing holiday goodies to be shared with loved ones. Crawford's rich theatricality and classical arrangements invoke a joyful sense of spirit in readiness for the Holy babe who came to light the world. There is comfort here. Following ritual and tradition in this timeless mode of celebration, one is both warmed and delivered by the heralding tones of Crawford and his army of singing angels. -Paige La Grone.
