Free Music Review: The Christmas Album
Hit: 5 Stars

This CD is entitled: "The Christmas Album."
This is not just another Christmas CD by the Vienna Boys Choir (aka Die Wiener Sangerknaben or WSK). It opens with Sleigh Ride and they sing it in english. Don't be surprised, for WSK sings in english VERY proficiently. This particular anthology is a good mix of "contemporary" Christmas songs and traditional. Add to this, the most COZY-arrangement on this CD is without doubt, "Let it Snow! Let it Snow! Let it Snow!" This one arrangement is worth the CD. I always want to brew a cuppa tea and have a scone when I hear this WSK rendition. Additionaly, there are a couple of arrangements of carols from Great Britain: "Coventry Carol" and also
"Suo-Gan" (a lullabye Carol of Wales). This second carol was made famous by Steven Spielburg's movie: "Empire of the Sun."
And finally, JUST for the FUN of it: the WSK rendition of "Rudolph, the Red-nosed Reindeer" is marvelous because even though it's sung in its english setting, the Austrian accent of the choir is quite evident. As some girls might say, "It's really quite darling!" But you know what? The Vienna Boys Choir should never lose their Austrian accent. It's part of their inherent persona, or dare I say, "Trademark"? Buy this CD ... and that advice is from a dyed-in-the-wool chorister from 7 different choirs, both University and church varieties.
