Amazon.com essential recording
Mel Torme is so famous for writing "The Christmas Song (Chestnuts Roasting on an Open Fire)," it's surprising that he never recorded a full Christmas album before 1992's Christmas Songs. Besides that standard, Torme's own compositions here include the heartfelt "The Christmas Feeling" and "Christmas Was Made for Children." He also sings Johnny Mercer's Christmas lyrics for "Glow Worm" as well as more traditional fare. Backed by both orchestra and big band, Torme is alternately swinging and sentimental on this instant classic. --David Horiuchi

One of the very best Xmas albums December 19, 2008
G. Misthos
This has to be one of the very best Christmas albums (cd's) to come out in the past several years. Tony Bennett's latest Xmas effort is very well done, but this Mel Torme cd is even better. Although this was made toward the end of Mel's career, the singing is fine and so are the arrangements. Everything on it is well done, but especially The Christmas Song (which of course he co-wrote), Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas, Silver Bells, and especially the beautiful and haunting Christmastime is Here.
Do yourself a favor; if you're looking for a GREAT, traditional Christmas with great songs and great singing, this is the one.

Mel Delivers again. Smooth and jazzy as appropriate. Always a pleasure to hear his voice.Many of the young "crooners" of today owe a lot to his talent.
Great Christmas Music January 21, 2008

My husband was always waiting for Mel's version of "The Christmas Song" to play on the radio...which it rarely did. He can now hear this and many other wonderful Christmas pieces whenever he wants. A GREAT CD.

This is an excellant Christmas album and I would strongly reccomend it. It's a mixture of traditional and jazzed up holiday music.
