Free Music Review: so much more than simple gifts from the great Petula Clark
Hit: 5 Stars
Petula Clark remains a masterful chanteuse who can sing out a song alongside the best of them; her sense of timing, her sophisticated phrasing and her excellent diction all combine to make everything she sings a wonderful experience for the listener. This album of Christmas themed songs showcases Petula's talent nicely; and it is a must-have for her fans. In addition, the quality of the sound is excellent and the artwork is nicely done.
The title track, "This Is Christmas," makes an auspicious beginning for this album; Petula sings this faultlessly and I love every minute of it! The percussion as well as the rest of the musical arrangement fits in perfectly with Petula's singing; but wisely the musicians never even try to steal the spotlight; Petula is squarely front and center which is right where she belongs! In addition, there's another gem in Petula's gorgeous rendition of the very classic "Silent Night;" this is easily a major highlight of this CD. I also really like "The Happiest Christmas;" "He Is Born, The Divine Child" which Petula sings so beautifully in French with fine use of the woodwind and strings; "I'll Be Home for Christmas," which is certainly my favorite Christmas tune--it really tugs at my heartstrings every time I hear it and Petula's treatment of this number shines bright in her more than capable hands!
"The Little Drummer Boy" couldn't sound any better than when Petula Clark sings it with all her heart and soul; and other great songs include "Simple Gifts" with that fine piano arrangement; "Thank You for Christmas" and "Butterfly in the Snow;" these are all brilliantly done.
"Another Christmas without You" is very poignant; and listen for Petula to do a terrific job on "Away in a Manger." "Christmas Lullaby" charms me with its beauty and "Mother of Us All" gets a very special treatment by Petula who sings this to perfection and beyond! There's also an unlisted bonus track which Petula sings in French; "The Little Drummer Boy" is very well done.
Petula Clark fans will be thrilled with this release; if they don't have this they should get this CD and add it to their collections! People who enjoy high quality control Christmastime music will not be disappointed either.
