Christmas music

I don’t know about the rest of you but I like Christmas music and the time of year in general-though I may be the only one who thinks like that here. I was just curious if any of you have any preferences for Christmas music that you like? I like Jim Brickman’s The Gift but there are some new ones out this year-surprise, surprise-Dave Koz has a new Christmas CD as does Tony Bennett-Charlotte Church-there are two others as well in that CD(whom slip my mind at this time), are either of these any good? I mean nothing is worse then getting a bad Christmas CD!!

If anyone likes traditional [Anglican High Church] worship music, (organ/choir,) and does not have Proprius Musik's CANTATE DOMINO, you should change that. Absolutely outstanding in every way. It was recorded in a Swedish cathedral and there are only a couple of hymns that are sung in English, but the emotion needs no translation.

Another recommendation would be Andrea Bocelli's SACRED ARIAS.

Happy Holidays, Charlie.

p.s. I also listen to Xmas offerings from Elvis, Clint Black, Jimmy Buffet, Dean Martin, and others. The season makes me generous with my tastes. [:)]

Eric, the best version I have is the Harmonia Mundi "Messiah Highlights." [HMT 7907120]

You might want to check out this link to CDNow to see if you would like the complete "Messiah" offering from the Hyperion label. (I just ordered it myself.)
