~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Depending on your point of view, 'Christmas' is either a quaint sonic time capsule extracted
from the mid-1980's or a timeless holiday classic. The first in what has become an ongoing
series of Mannheim Steamroller Christmas recordings, this CD has sold millions, which seems
to indicate that it is everything its advertising claims it to be: "America's favorite
Christmas music." The powerfully successful Mannheim Steamroller formula, conceived by group
mastermind Chip Davis, involves a blend of Renaissance-flavored moods and instrumentation
(strings, harpsichord, flute, French horn) intertwined with polite pop instrumental music.
At times, the analog synthesizers used in this 1984 recording sound dated and a little
cheesy, particularly on "Deck the Halls" and "Good King Wenceslas." But it is a forgivable
offense since live instruments and the earnest but ersatz medieval atmosphere they evoke
dominate 8 of the 11 tracks. As pleasant and soothing as a Willard Scott birthday wish,
'Christmas' does offer one selection that truly merits "classic" status: the reverent,
prayerful, slow-motion interpretation of "Silent Night" ("Stille Nacht") for piano and
strings that closes the album--a beautiful and heart-touching work. This selection alone
makes this album worth owning. --Terry Wood (courtesy of amazon.com)

Please seed as much as you take.

OK, I know it's a little early to start getting music together for the holiday season, but
this is a great classic and you could almost find yourself listening to it at any point
throughout the year, not just at Christmastime.
