Free Music Review: All the best
Hit: 5 Stars

If you have any interest in Christmas music at all, you really ought to get this compilation. Mannheim Steamroller writes some of the best interpretations of Christmas music ever heard, particularly on the first two albums ("Christmas" and "A Fresh Aire Christmas.") The second two albums fall a little short of those masterpieces, as composer Chip Davis opted to use more electronic sounds in place of acoustic instruments, thus making the arrangements sound a bit thinner and less heartfelt. Still, all of the albums here are way above the offerings from most other groups.

Perhaps what works best about Chip's interpretations is that although he alters the songs from their original state, they somehow always remain faithful to the "feel" of the original. For example, listen to "O Holy Night" on "A Fresh Aire Christmas." Sure, Chip took a few liberties with it, but it ends up being one of the most stirring renditions I've yet to hear. Other groups have had less success doing this. Some (Destiny's Child... ughh) try to hard to popularize the carols, and only end up stripping away the emotional core of the music.

All of the CDs are now in HDCD for superior quality, so if you're like me and have the older ones on cassette (or vinyl!), this is a good opportunity to upgrade your collection. If you don't own any of the albums in any shape or form, you're really missing out.
