wonderful.......2007-01-20
This is THE Christmas album to have.Loreena McKennitt's hauntingly beautiful voice and the wonderful arrangements of traditional Christmas songs has made this our most listened to Christmas album in the last few years.I like to play this album any time of the year as it is very peaceful and relaxing to hear.

I love Loreena McKennitts' music. this CD is very melodic in a Celtic way. the music on this CD is also very mellow listening. I love the rhythms of the instruments used.
beautiful!.......2006-12-31
The only reason I gave this item "4 stars" is because it only has the 5 songs on it - I wish it had more. However, it's still worth buying. The songs are hauntingly beautiful, in McKennitt's signature style. If you enjoy her music, this album won't disappoint. I recommend it! :-)
Beautiful.......2006-12-29
Lovely cd - it's exactly what you'd think Loreena would do for the holidays. There are no big surpises, just beautifully rendered music. She has such an amazing voice. I certainly enjoyed "new" (to me) holiday music that I am not familiar with. My big complaint is there are only a few songs on the cd. I didn't read the jacket - so maybe there is some sort of explination. But I think more songs could have been added.
Wonderful!!.......2006-12-20
This album is like an oasis in the desert of horribly lame Light FM Santa Baby/Beatles Christmas song garbage. Wonderful in the absolute - too bad its an EP and not an LP, but a wonder nonetheless! This project blended Celtic/Middle Eastern instruments/styles beautifully and naturally. Hossam Ramzy's percussion prowess adds a great dimension, as does the Middle Eastern violin style - no version of 'God Rest You Merry Gentlemen' will ever sound good after having a listen to this version...its as if its the only way the song can be done. McKennitt's version of Good King Wenceslas is the best I've ever heard...too bad she knocked out a stanza though. If you like this album you really must check out the Christmas Revels Album titled 'Sing We Now of Christmas'. Its the only album I've found to equal the magic of this one.
