Product Description
From Amazon.com
Fans of Andrew Lloyd Webber will discover he has a soul mate in one Paul O'Neill, the "conductor" of the Trans-Siberian Orchestra. A dyed-in-the-wool sentimentalist, O'Neill presents this pop-rock tale from 1998 with all the glitz and glory of a Lloyd Webber Broadway show. Playing to the common themes of the season through a tale about a little angel sent to Earth to leave behind a gift, O'Neill creates a big-sounding production heavy on lead guitars and orchestral filigree. There are pieces of familiar Christmas carols and hymns and a handful of unembellished acoustic numbers to offset the brighter parts of the musical melodrama. While his singers and players are all professional sounding, O'Neill often mistakes sentiment as a grand gesture when it needs to be something less ambitious or noticeable. Nonetheless, there's a TV special or Broadway show wrapped up in this attic and it won't go away until it gets done. --Martin Keller

Fantastic

Format:Audio CD
If you haven't heard of Trans Siberian Orchestra you must give them a listen. They bring a fresh take on Christmas music. I just love their work.
Angelic Children's Choir
Sep 26 2010
Format:Audio CD
When I was five, I fell in love with Pachelbel's Canon in D doing a dancing recital to the tune. Three decades later when I first heard the CHRISTMAS CANON on the radio, it happened to me again. Thanks to google search and amazon, I was able to locate this song produced by Trans-Siberian Orchestra within minutes. The children's angelic voice transforms ordinary place and sight into a heavenly, peaceful realm. I would recommend this album simply for the merit of this Christmas Canon version but there are many great hits inside CHRISTMAS ATTIC as well. My children enjoy the new rock-opera twist added to the traditional holiday classics and the story-line unfolded through versatile array of instrumental music and songs. May all that are searching for this song find this pretty glorious album soon!

get Christmas Eve and Other Stories instead!
The high point of this album is the in-your-face version of "Deck the Halls." Its biggest flaw, in comparison with "Christmas Eve" (which was great) is that... Read more

A great CD...
... for the microwave, or under the short leg of your table, or as a shooting target. Tooth-rottingly sugary, pretentious, overblown, commercialized crap from a half-a$$ed sell-out... Read more

Need to hear more
I would like to hear the "Christmas Canon" (not available for listening). A lovely rendition of Pachelbel's Canon in D is playing daily on my local radio station. Read more

Pathetic
If Queen had made a Christmas album, it might have sounded something like this. Either that, or there's a Broadway production somewhere waiting for an incredibly lame score. Read more

Refreshing and better than its predecessor!
I am astonished that so many people bashed this CD. It is an exhilarating and welcome change from the tired old crooners like Johnny Mathis and Perry Como that we usually hear... Read more
