a Fraud. Not by Mantovani And His Orchestra December 2, 2004

In spite of the album name, the recording is not by Mantovani And His Orchestra. The orchestra/chorus doesn't even sound like Mantovani and is a fraudulent use of the name to garner sales for a barely so-so presentation. Make sure that your Christmas music is really by Mantovani And His Orchestr (see Mantovani Fan Website, discography for more information.

Not What I Expected October 28, 2003
5 out of 5 found this review helpful

I have to say I was a bit disappointed in this disc. Years ago I owned a 2-LP collection of Mantovani's Christmas music, released on London Records. Each song had its own track and the sound was glorious. When I saw Amazon's listing on this CD, I thought I had found, at last, all this wonderful music on one CD (how marvelous!). As it turned out, the music on this disc is done in medley form, and crammed onto four tracks (I don't blame Amazon for the misinformation, for they most likely printed what was given to them by the record company, Eclipse). The arrangements don't even sound like Mantovani (none of those famous cascading strings), and the choir could use some work (my church choir could do a better job). On top of all this, the sound is blown out with industrial-strength treble.

For people with a cheap mini-system stereo, who wants to put some music on while trimming the tree - and are not serious music lovers - this cheap disc might be right up their alley. Otherwise...
