1. I've got pretty much all of the Craig Chaquico CD output, and
   play it all on regular basis, this is one great guitar player.
   
   What a disappointment Holiday is in comparison to his previous work.
   I hope this is just a temporary loss of direction.



2. While I truly love his work both Solo and Starship, this was a missed opportunity.
   
   Don't get me wrong...this is a great album. His playing is incredible!
   
   Where this misses the mark is that Craig had a "golden opportunity" to create an incredible and imaginative Holiday (Christmas/New Year) CD and he missed the mark.
   
   Very little of this CD is going to instill the Holiday Spirit in anyone
   and that is the bad part. The closing cut is about the only one that comes close.
   
   I don't know if this was a contractual obligation, if Craig doesn't observe or believe much in the holidays or if it was just an oversight that this was missed.
   
   This CD should have showcased his amazing talents and gifts. It should have been the CD that made the holidays warm, cheerful and memorable. But, there is little on this CD to instill that in anyone.
   
   If you just want a CD of nice guitar based tunes. This is GREAT! If you want something to make your holidays more memorable or a soundtrack to your holiday get together, this one misses the mark!

1. This set was my first excursion into Baroque choral music outside of J. S. Bach and I am very pleased with it! To my ear both the performances and recording quality are very good as I have come to expect from the Nimbus label. I highly recommened it!!!!
   This same choral group has another set of Baroque music out on the Nimbus label and I intend to buy it in the near future.English Choral Music, 1514-1682

1. I bought this CD for my children and I am glad since it records the traditional christmas songs from Colombia in a very nice way.
   The singers, the choirs are quite nice.

1. Anne's voice never sounded better and it's a delight to see and hear the talents of Canadian Roch Voisine (who's phenomenal voice sounds like Jim Croce) and Barenaked Ladies. With lush scenery of Toronto landmark The Old Mill as the backdrop, there's plenty of music (and two performances of Elvis Stojko) to keep young and old happy. Despite some trite dialogue with the guests on this special, the musical highlights include the gospel-sounding "No Room at the Inn," and, quite surpisingly, the inspired harmony of Anne singing with her husband, son, and daughter. Who knew!?! A MUST for Anne Murray fans and those who appreciate gifted voices and harmony.



2. Anne Murray, The Barenaked Ladies, Rock Voisine, and her family join you in an hour of singing carols and rejoicing in the Christmas Spirit. A Christmas like no other, it will bring your spirits of Christmas right along with you, and once again Anne Murray has succeeded in bringing her voice into your heart and making your soul sing along.



3. The richness of her voice and the warmth of her style make you feel that Anne Murray is having this Christmas gathering just for you.
   
   The beautiful setting lends itself to holiday photography and there is excellent sound on this DVD. While the jacket lists one of her guests as "international sensation Roch Voisine," I never heard of this Canadian favorite. Now that I have heard him, I'll be looking for more of his work. Roch introduces a song he wrote just for this party, CHRISTMAS IS CALLING. His guitar work is outstanding. Anne and Roch follow with an unusual medley WE THREE KINGS, THE LITTLE DRUMMER BOY, THE STORY OF THE THREE BELLS (about Little Jimmy Brown) and DECK THE HALLS. Their voices blend beautifully. It would be a treat to hear more of their duets on another Christmas special. It's worth the price of the DVD just to hear these stars sing together.
   
   Two ice rink segments feature champion skater Elvis Stojko and there's a segment where Anne sings with the pop rock group Barenaked Ladies. There are plenty of old standards but it's nice to have some contemporary Christmas songs, too. THIS SEASON WILL NEVER GROW OLD with words and music by Canada's Rita MacNeil is now on my list of contemporary favorites. It's a joy to have Anne's voice fill my home with this song along with all the others on this program.
