Aptly Named November 23, 2008

Let me start by saying that I am not LDS, and never will be, but the performances of The Mormon Tabernacle Choir are in a class by themselves. No one, or no group can come close the the magnificent standard that they have set. This CD is appropriately named: "The Wonder of Christmas", because it is a wonder. It will be a loving part of every Christmas to come.

I am a musician at heart (read: critical and difficult to please, but very moved by good music) and this is my absolute favorite christmas album. The arrangements are incredible and the performances will blow you away. This is a must have for those who truly appreciate music and even those who just love christmas music (who doesn't?). Even my hubby, who listens to rap and thinks choir music is not cool, looks forward to the Choir's Christmas concert every year.
I'm lucky enough to live in Salt Lake where I can see them perform, and this album contains most of my favorite performances from the past several years. Each song on this album can stand on its own, but my favorites are Joy to the World, What Shall We Give to the Babe in the Manger, Angels From the Realms of Glory, and of course the Hallelujah Chorus.
If you are moved by music this beautiful, like I am, be sure to get a box of tissues as well!
