Description:

Is the Trans-Siberian Orchestra's Christmas Eve and Other Stories a holiday rock opera? Or perhaps just a holiday prog-rock disc? Or maybe it's New Age? Whatever the case may be, this isn't your typical Christmas album. Filled with electric guitar solos, plenty of synthesized keyboards, a children's choir, and lively drumming, Christmas Eve can only be compared to one other record, the Trans-Siberian Orchestra's other holiday disc, The Christmas Attic. On this CD, angelic vocal solos (on numbers such as "The Prince of Peace") are interspersed with driving instrumentals. Sentimental, occasionally bombastic, but as high-concept as holiday albums can be. --Jason Verlinde

5Brilliant! Awesome! Out Of This World  Jun 13, 2009
Some friends of mine kept talking about TSO so I asked about who TSO was. After getting a rundown on this band, I wasn't sure if I'd like them or not so I orders Beethoven's Last Night and was totally, and I DO mean totally, blown away. So I ordered the other 3 TSO CDs despite them being Christmas music. When I first listened to Christmas Eve and Other Stories, I was again immediately blown away. This is the 2nd TSO CD I've listened to and I am awe struck. The story this CD tells is one of beauty. It's very touching and like Beethoven's Last Night, it can bring a tear to your eye. But I have a heart for children anyway. The orchestration, vocals, lyrics all seem to complement each other. The finishing touch on this CD is the children's choir. Despite this being a Christmas CD, it doesn't matter what time of year you listen to this. In my opinion, it's a beautiful story set at Christmas time. I would definately highly recommend this, an all of TSO's music to anyone. I wasn't a fan until the first listen to Beethoven's Last Night. Then I was hooked. If you haven't heard any of TSO's music before and you want the experience of a lifetime, buy this (or any TSO) CD. It's best to sit and listen to each one from beginning to end with no interruptions. Read the story in the enclosed booklet, then play the CD and follow along. It's guaranteed to touch you.

5CHRISTMAS MUSIC LIKE YOU NEVER HEARD BEFORE  Apr 04, 2009
WHILE WORKING AT A CHRISTMAS CRAFT FAIR I HEARD AN INSTRUMENTAL VERSION OF O COME ALL YE FAITHFUL/O HOLY NIGHT . I ASKED ONE PERSON AFTER ANOTHER WHO WAS PLAYING THIS PHENOMINAL MUSIC. MY SON CHRIS CAME IN AND I ASED HIM IF HE KNEW WHO THE CREATOR OF THIS MASTERPIECE WAS. HE SAID HE THOUGHT IS WAS TRANS SIBERIAN ORCHESTRA. I WENT ONLINE AT AMAZON.COM TO SEE IF IT WAS THERE AND SURE ENOUGH I GOT TO LISTEN TO IT AND WAS THRILLED THAT I LOCATED THIS CLASSICAL ROCK GENRE. I HAVE SINCE PURCHASED EVERY CD THEY HAVE MADE AND HAVE NEVER BEEN SO EXCITED ABOUT SUCH A TALENTED GROUP. I AM LOOKING FORWARD TO BUYING THEIR NEW CD NIGHT CASTLE. I HOPE TO SEE AND HEAR THEM NEXT TIME THEY ARE IN OR NEAR PENNSYLVANIA. GOD BLESS AND THANK YOU ALL AND KEEP US THIS MAGIC.

5Wonderful, as usual  Jan 31, 2009
Yes, wonderful, as only Trans-Siberia Orchestra can be. Another one I will listen to over and over again!

5Would give this 10 Stars if I could  Jan 14, 2009
Awesome! This is the best Christmas music ever recorded. I loved this so much that I wanted my friends to have this CD. It absolutely blew me away the first time I ever heard it.
