Christmas in August Aug 29, 2009
I love Christmas songs. I play them all year round, especially those sung by Kathleen Battle. She has the purest, angelic voice I have ever heard. It is a gift from Heaven. Credit must also be given to the superior choral and orchestral support provided by the New York Choral Artists, the renowned Harlem Boys Choir and the Orchestra of St. Luke's, conducted by the distinguished American conductor Leonard Slatkin. If I am allowed to keep only one Christmas album, this is the one.
Christmas music Jan 14, 2009
The best collection of traditional Christmas music we now have. Ms. Battle's voice is simply beautiful.
don't believe I've ever heard anything lovelier Dec 27, 2008
I had not heard this album until this year (2008) when my local NPR station played about half of it at one go while I was driving down the highway. Like all the previous reviewers (but one), I think it's absolutely lovely. My only complaint was that my eyes kept tearing up while I needed to see the road. I simply can't imagine a more beautiful voice, or more beautiful delivery of these songs. (A little later I heard the great Jessye Norman singing some of the same material, and my feeling was that her versions are very impressive to the ears -- but Kathleen's strike right to the heart.)

 All that glitters... Oct 18, 2008
Sometimes lovely but marred by an overall sense of caution. Kathleen Battle, who sang with such warmth on "Pleasures of Their Company"(her "Ave Maria" on that recording is miraculous)reins her voice in on every song. Incredibly, she shies away from the vowel 'e', turning Maria into Mariah. As pretty and brittle as a glass ball.

Shimmers and shivers Mar 06, 2008
This is a glorious Christmas CD that everyone who loves the season should have. What a joyful noise spills from the throat of this lady! If you have this album along with Maureen Mcgovern's Christmas CD...believe me you will be set for Christmas with Kathleen providing the Classical and Maureen providing a Pop/Jazzy feel. You won't be able to help playing these albums year round!
