5 out of 5 stars Excellent Music Collection.......2005-12-05

I purchased this CD on iTunes and I love it. Martha's CD collection is very tasteful and the music is great background music. I'm not a big fan of Christmas music sung by pop stars, and so I avoid most modern releases, but this CD is all classical. Particularly love the song sung by II Divo and Placido Domingo. This is a classical album sure to please everyone.

When I played it in my car my I got compliments on it. Way to go Martha!!!

5 out of 5 stars Very Nice and Intimate.......2005-11-14

This is a wonderful CD. I agree with Martha Stewart's notes that this music will be great at a social gathering like a dinner party. I feel this music would work well in an intimate shop or restaurant, but would not work well in a larger retail establishment or a busy restaurant. In my opinion, the softer music would be drowned by the surrounding noise. For those people who like their music "traditional" and "straight forward" this album is beautiful. She has put together a perfect holiday CD. If you this collection and the presentation of the music, I highly suggest looking at John Tesh's Christmas CDs. His music follows a similar style.

          5 out of 5 stars Excellent Brass Quintet.......2000-10-23

          The Atlantic Brass Quintet is an excellent group of musicians. They are one of the few brass quintets that succeeds in virtuosity without being trumpet-heavy in the least. Joe Foley's amazing trumpet skills are unsurpassed, and the group plays with and ensemble unparalleled by even the Canadian Brass. I highly recommend this cd as not a show quintet, but as serious music.

            4 out of 5 stars Light Classics for Christmas.......2002-12-07

            This is one of two holiday discs that pops conductor/arranger Richard Hayman recorded for the budget classical label Naxos (the other being entitled "Joy to the World" which is a fine, and admittedly more "up beat", companion disc). The performances are very strong and it starts off with Leroy Anderson's medley of popular Christmas carols. Other highlights include Frederick Delius' rarely heard "Sleigh Ride" which nicely depicts a moolit sleigh ride, quite a departure from Leroy Anderson's more popular composition but equally as effective. There are also some unique pieces here which you don't come across too often such as the excerpts from the scores to "The Greatest Story Ever Told" and "Gift of the Magi" and the "Winter" movements from Glazunov's "The Seasons".

            All in all a relaxing "pops" program of holiday themed music with some nice departures from the usual fare.

            (I too am familiar with the Boston Pops 'A Christmas Festival' CD on RCA Gold Seal - conducted by Fiedler, which is still available, and is another excllent CD. The selections are totally different and to me both are worthy additions to any holiday music collection.)

            1 out of 5 stars Not the Original.......2002-10-15

            Leroy Anderson put out an album of Christmas music titled "A Christmas Festival". Unfortunately, this is not it. This album has one recording of a song by the same name, and even it is not conducted by Leroy Anderson and his orchestra. I cannot say that we have been duped as the contents of this album are plainly listed by Amazon. It's just a shame that it is not the original, and it uses the title, which is misleading. Overall, this is basically classical music compositions, slow and dreary to the ear. Guaranteed to put you right to sleep.
            If anyone knows where to find the original "Leroy Anderson's A Christmas Festival" on CD, please tell me.
