Editorial Reviews:

Prog rock lives! This fusion of rock, jazz, and classical, driven by synthesizers, excess, and dry-ice fog, was once the domain of '70s groups like Yes and Emerson, Lake & Palmer. But Mannheim Steamroller has kept prog rock's intoxicated spirit and bright spectacle alive, mainly through 20 years of Christmas albums and concerts, and Christmas Celebration won't disappoint their many worldwide fans. With its overblown arrangements of standards and readily accessible new pieces, it combines a variety of styles with a heavy mix of instruments and voices. Noteworthy are the choirs and soloists featured on various tracks, including the Cambridge Singers and Johnny Mathis on "O Tannenbaum" as well as lesser-knowns like Germany's Bielefelder Kinderchor and the University of Michigan Glee Club. All told, it's a full, pretty-paper assault, an aural smorgasbord laid out with bold strokes and many a glittering bauble. --Martin Keller

Summary: Mannheim Steamroller CD
Comment: I thoroughly enjoyed this CD. My main reason for purchasing it was to ad it to the collection of Mannheim Steamroller Christmas CD's that I currently have.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Horrible service.
Comment: The seller chooses to send products through USPS. If this is the case, they should make the shipping/handling be free of charge. I am STILL waiting for my product to arrive. I had to go out and purchase this item at a store now because this was a christmas gift so I will be returning my item to the seller as soon as it makes its way to me through snail mail! I would not order from this seller again.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Excellent to have in the rotation!
Comment: I listen to this at least once a day during the season. I like it as background -- NOT foreground music. It fits right in with other 'modern' Christmas-time albums. A must have for your desktop media player and your portable.
