Free Music Review: Christmas Cheer
Hit: 5 Stars
As a previous reviewer mentioned last year, Rush Limbaugh was indeed the one who introduced Mannheim Steamroller to much of the country. He once played the music video for 'Pat-A-Pan' on his TV show back in the mid-90s and I was a fan for life from that point. The amount of emotion that comes across from Chip Davis to the listener is absolutely astounding to me. I now have ALL his Christmas albums including The Christmas Angel (both the DVD of the TV production and the CD soundtrack)
Mannheim Steamroller - The Christmas Angel: A Story on Ice
as well as the DVD-Audio discs that he produced by setting up microphones around his back yard, then putting the birdsong to music (in 5.1 Surround, no less!), and the fantastical DVD-Audio of Mannheim Steamroller Meets The Mouse - Chip's tribute to the classic music of Disney films. Mannheim Steamroller Meets The Mouse: Unique Musical Creations Based On Disney Songs
Personally, I can't wait for the next one and wish I could afford to go to one of the live shows during their annual Christmas tours. Last year I actually had the money but couldn't get off from work. This year I got laid off on Oct 2nd so will have the time, but no money by then. It's a lose-lose situation, I guess.
Sigh...
My only comments on the quality of this release are that although the vocal tracks from Johnny Mathis and Olivia Newton-John were not necessary on an album that's supposed to be instrumental, their talents are not wasted here. They are two of the best voices ever to grace a record. I didn't even know that there WERE lyrics to Christmas Lullaby, but Miss Newton-John's performance is wonderful. The original Christmas Lullaby instrumental is a work of genius and one of my all-time favorites. While it doesn't lull me to sleep, it does touch me emotionally and brings back childhood Christmas memories.
