Product Description
From Amazon.com
New Orleans pianist, singer, and songwriter Harry Connick Jr. has done what many makers of Christmas records strive for but seldom achieve: he's made a Christmas record that sounds convincingly like a '40s period piece and rigorously like a cool, contemporary jazz disc. His powerful, self-written Christmas songs sound like polished standards, and he delivers the whole package with a sassy, vocal economy (with the occasional New Orleans accent) and an orchestral richness that is never indulgent or overwhelming. When My Heart Finds Christmas is a true classic that no lover of big-band jazz and singing (in the Sinatra style)--and Christmas music--should be without. There are so many great moments here that singling any one out would be at the expense of the others. Still, the reverential, solo-piano intro to "Ave Maria," Connick's own "(It Must've Been Ol') Santa Claus," (a rousing, second-line swing tune), and his triumphant "I Pray on Christmas" (a get-happy-now gospel song) deserve mention if only because they'll earn Connick extra credit in heaven and on Earth. --Martin Keller

4.0 out of 5 stars
Highly recommended!!,
By A Customer
This review is from: When My Heart Finds Christmas (Audio CD)
Unlike some others here, I am not a huge Harry fan. That being said, this is one of my favourite holiday discs. Harry adds freshness to some of the classics and the original songs are funny and charming and nice. An excellent buy!
5.0 out of 5 stars
Great reviews for a reason!,

This review is from: When My Heart Finds Christmas (Audio CD)
I read the (very) few bad reviews here for this album and have to say that those folks must not be true Harry fans, because this album is extremely true to form for him. I don't buy the "I love him normally, but..." nonsense - he sang all of these great songs with the same passion and warmth that he has on all his non-seasonal albums. There is not a badly done song in the bunch, and he even made me like songs I hadn't really cared for before, such as "Parade of the Wooden Soldiers" and "Ave Maria". Best cuts are "I Pray on Christmas" and "O Holy Night", but I never get tired of any of them. Look at the overwhelming number of happy listeners here and know the true quality of this album.

When My Heart Finds Christmas,
By A Customer
This review is from: When My Heart Finds Christmas (Audio CD)
I purchase "When My Heart Finds Christmas" along with Whitney Houston "One Wish" Christmas album. I have to confess I love Whitney Houston's Christmas album. She sings some of the most beautiful Christmas songs on "One Wish"..."Joy To The World", "Who Would Imagine A King","O Holy Night" etc the list goes on...I'm very happy I purchase "Whitney Houston's Christmas album "One Wish" along with "When My Heart Finds Christmas". It's definately one of my favorite holiday albums.
