Serious but not solemn sacred classical works,
By
This review is from: Christmas Adagios (Audio CD)
This set of two CDs will appeal to those who are drawn to the #1 Christmas Album and, in fact, has some of the same cuts on it. However while I felt the other album had a tendency to get overly solemn and almost dreary at times, this overall has a lighter, more listenable quality to it. In fact, this could have some appeal to those who don't generally go for classical music, because there is a relaxing quality to the selection with little which is excessively operatic. There are operatic voices here such as Luciano Pavarotti, Kiri Te Kanawa, Placido Domingo and Leontyne Price, but the deliveries are low key and melodious. If you have any taste at all for the classical sound of Christmas music, this is most highly recommended.

Christmas Adagios - Great Bargain,
By Gerry Dawson (Nepean, ON Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Christmas Adagios (Audio CD)
Christmas Adagios is a two-CD collection of both vocal and instrumental "seasonal" music, on the Decca label, currently selling at a bargain price of $10. As per the title "Adagios", all of the music is taken at a slow, leisurely pace but is, nevertheless, festive music. Selections range from religious vocal works of the 16th century by Palestrina, through Vivaldi and Bach pieces, well-known traditional Christmas carols and secular works, to more modern songs, such as Silent Night and White Christmas.The set include 45 pieces, running for over 2 1/2 hours. Performers include a host of well-known classical soloists, choirs, and orchestras, including Pavarotti and Leontyne Price, The Bach Choir and Choir of King's College, and David Willcocks and Neville Marriner, to name a few. I have some 20 Christmas CDs, but this is the one that gets played the most. If you are looking for a great collection of traditional seasonal music, this is the one to get.

A splendid collection,
By A reader and a writer (Arlington, VA, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Christmas Adagios (Audio CD)
If you want a gorgeous, inexpensive two-CD set of classical Christmas music (vocal and instrumental), this is a splendid compilation. It offers great performances by outstanding artists in both well-known and lesser-known works that range from the ethereal to the sumptuous, and would be a delight worth having even at a considerably higher price. If you're starting a Christmas collection or are on a tight budget, this may be all you'll need to purchase--and if you already have a large collection of seasonal music, don't miss the chance to add this beautiful set.
