Review Simply the Best Christmas Album / Erato:A rather presumptive title, Simply the Best Christmas Album is an unqualified best-if you like classical, choral and symphonic music. Such talent as Placido Domingo, Natalie Cole and Jose Carreras anchor the mix, abetted by the redoubtable London Brass, St Paul Chamber Orchestra, Edward Higginbottom and the Choir of New College, Oxford, and the Bolshoi Symphony Orchestra. This two-disc, 36-piece set presents a broad spectrum of seasonal pageantry that embraces familiar traditional works such as The Nutcracker and more contemporary pieces from Sumi Jo and Linda Eder. From triumphant brass and angelic choirs to stirring string pieces and rich, lovely orchestral movements, Simply the Best sets an exquisitely festive mood. -Martin Keller.

Review Christmas Night / Collegium:"The theme of this album is the birth of Christ, reflected in the words and music of 22 carols spanning more than six centuries. " This description might also say that the programme contains some of the best and best-loved Christmas choral pieces of all time, presented in a pleasing mix of familiar carols and lesser-known original works. Among the best-known selections are Darke's "In the bleak mid-winter" and Howells's "A spotless rose. " Several original pieces by John Rutter appear here for the first time-"Christmas Night", "There Is A Flower", and "Nativity Carol". Other notable highlights are Peter Cornelius's "The three kings" and the lively Willcocks arrangement of "Tomorrow shall be my dancing day. " Of course, the singing is among the best on the planet-in fact, there may even be a few heavenly angels in the soprano section. -David Vernier.
