 Might as well get this one too November 26, 2008
D. COLLIER (Brownwood, TX United States)
Mannheim Steamroller knows how to set a pair of ears perfectly at ease. Much like "the Blue Album," CHRISTMAS IN THE AIRE features many of the lesser known carols, whose tunes many of us readily recognize, but we are oblivious to their titles. Among these are "Joseph Dear, Oh Joseph Mine," "Pat-a-Pan," "Gagliarda," and "Los Peces En El Rio".
A German version of "O Come All Ye Faithful, "Herbei, Oh Ihr Glaeubigen," is sung beautifully by a children's choir. This album also boasts a gently flowing "O Little Town of Bethlehem" as well as a rendition of "Jingle Bells" unlike any version ever recorded.
The one track which I had never heard before, but was stunningly beautiful nonetheless was "Kling Gloeckchen" (also delivered by a children's choir).
This along with FRESH AIRE CHRISTMAS (the blue album) and CHRISTMAS EXTRAORDINAIRE (the red album) are my three favorites of Mannheim Steamroller. They are also some of the best Christmas music I've ever heard and the first things I pull out when it's time to start playing Christmas music each year (and it's earlier for me than most people).
It's in the AIRE!!!! November 25, 2008
L. Aiello (West Coast, USA)
The holiday albums of Mannheim Steamroller continue to impress, with "Christmas in the Aire" from 1995 being their third holiday album up to that point in time.
The track "Angels We Have Heard on High" is quite simply one of the most perfect Mannheim songs you will ever hear, next to the all time classic and radio standard Deck the Halls from the 1984 debut album. This one is a must for any Christmas fans playlist. Joy to the World is another strong track on this record. Los Peces En El Rio is now a Holiday standard for me. What a song.
I would say that I enjoy "Christmas in the Aire" slightly more than the second Steamroller Christmas from 1988. The keyboards are in perfect form, the percussion is great as always, and the overall production is smooth and crisp.
If you enjoy this one, then you are in for a treat with "Christmas Song" from 2007.

I have most of Mannheim Steamroller's Christmas CD's. This is one of the best and I never get tired of them. I bought this one to replace the one I had that no longer played.
My good Christmas January 13, 2008

I must have lent, or gave away, my original copy of Christmas in the Aire; how happy I was to be able to obtain another copy to replace it. Keep up the good work, Mannheim Steamroller! You make my holiday complete.
Best Album December 4, 2007

I read one review that said 2 stars... I'm assuming they were "under the influence" when they wrote that. Everyone is entitled to their opinion though, no matter how cruddy. I LOVE this album. As a musician and someone who knows a little bit about sound engineering, it a treasure I enjoy every Christmas and sometimes a little into January! = )
