"The best Christmas CD out there!"
"Good for curling up in front of the fireplace with a loved one on a cold winter's night."
"Well done, as one would expect, and interesting variations on the traditional songs without ruining them."
"This is a perfect gift for anyone who loves good music, Josh Groban or Christmas tunes."
"Purchased for my sister's Christmas performance at Church."
"Thank you for the promptly delivered CD of Josh Groban's Xmas music."
"The arrangements are great, the chorus is just good enough to provide a 'canvas' for Josh to come in at the right moment and raise the level to stellar."

Bought one and decided to get more for friends and family (whom I am familiar with their musical tastes) as a holiday gift. Andre Bocelli, Josh Groban, Michael Buble, Peter Cetera, Boz Scaggs, Celine Dion, Brian McKnight, Eric Benet, Kenny G, Babyface, Blake Shelton, Cheryl Lynn, Katherine McPhee with cameos by Barbara Streisand, Whitney Houston, John Travolta and Kevin Costner. I thought that I am already too old to get goosebumps; but her performance on this event was absolutely jaw dropping. For the finale, Josh Groban took David's seat on the piano for his rendition of "You Raised me Up" and "Bridge Over Troubled Water" with Brian McKnight."
"AN INTEGRAL COMPONENT OF THE BOCELLI SUCCESS!"
"Quintessential David Foster...easy to see why he's called The Msic Man!"
"One of my favorites is Katharine McPhee and Andrea Bocelli, even though he is old enough to be her father, they sing and interact with one another like two star struck lovers. I was introduced to BlakeShelton, generally I am not a country fan but has a great voice and obviosly is indebted to David's magic."
"My mother, sister and I all own this DVD/CD set."
"A lot of really beautiful songs on this set."
"This DVD captures the true genius of David Foster."
"DISC #1 will not play on the two disc players I have."

"I used to have all of The Distillers CDs when I was a little punk with brightly dyed hair but have since moved many times and had many things lost or stolen throughout my journeys...lol.... Coral Fang was THE album that encompassed how I was feeling throughout some rough times... it got me through a lot!"
"In fact, my endorsment is probably bad news to them because it says they missed their target by 40 years. However, no one can generalize about any person or age group with any confidence because after all, diversity really is the spice of life. Whereas a single favorite track ripped for your MP3 player provides entertainment, there's no production value and therefore short-lived. I found Coral Fang to be quite good; even in comparison to their other 2 studio works I own. At the same time I don't appreciate gratuitous injection of tempo changes simply to break up the monotony."
"I had recently bought this album to have some cds in my car and it had me rediscovering my love for this album."
"Sometimes I have to pay respect to Brody's incredible talent and set this one down so as not to ever be tired of it. It's the rowdiest punk I've heard since Kurt Cobain, and really great."

Find Best Price at Amazon"It's music for people who have had their hearts torn out of their chests and shredded, and then put themselves back together again. It's music for the children in us who were abused and tortured and survived. It's music for the sarcastic bitches in us who tormented our teenage alter egos, and made bad choices, and we got our hearts broken, sometimes by friends, and we made more bad choices, and sometimes good choices, or watched our friends and families make bad choices, and then sat back and watched the fallout, and then when we were old enough we escaped as fast as we could run and as far as our legs could carry us, and we healed."
"This is quite possibly one of the best female writers of the decade, whose powerful and unique androgenous voice is only matched by her amazing piano playing and musicianship."
"Gotta Love this woman."
"I've never heard of Amanda Palmer (yes, I've somewhat been living under a rock musically speaking), so I'm coming into this with objectivity in regards of being able to dissociation this single album from her Dresden Dolls career."
"Arrived on time as described."
"There's a few songs that I usually skip, but for the most part, this is an amazing album."

Needless to say, I fell absolutely in love with it and bought this album the very next morning (getting the mp3 songs from Amazon instantly is awesome) and listened to it for a month straight without ever getting tired of it."
"Cd came in excellent shape, still wrapped, security stupid tape, a big pain in the Butt. I love this Cd, & only hope some one decides to make a Dvd of this show, like they've done in the past with other Productions, using the original Cast, which is the best! This recording is soo much fun, Enjoy the beautiful duo voices of the most unlikely Bffs ever. Who's Glendaa the good's, change of self, centered loving heart, leads to a most wonderous result."
"I have now see this musical performed live three times - two times at the Oriental Theatre in Chicago and once in Indianapolis when Broadway Across America's touring company presented it. Many times the cast recordings seem to be average since the singers were chosen for a combination of vocal ability and theatrical talent -- not always the best singer gets the role."
"I saw Wicked on Broadway in September, and I just had to get this CD asap after watching the show."
"From the time Kristin Chenoweth as Glenda (GaLinda) The Good Witch enters stage Up in a giant bubble and Idina Menzel as Elphaba (The Green) The Wicked Witch shows up at Good Ol' Shiz, they top a superbly talented cast of this Tony Award winning Best Musical."

"The song selection and choral and orchestral renderings are beautiful and so fitting for the Christmas season."
"I think the Robert Shaw singers are the quintessential coral singer for Christmas songs, none better."
"I ordered this album to approximate an old 33 LP record by the same-named choir (probably different singers many years later) that my parents had when I was a child in the '50s and '60s."
"Great compilation of Christmas carols, all beautifully done in acapella."
"My feeling after listening to this several times is that most of the songs are simply too short, clocking in at well under two minutes."

"Five stars for the music; 0 stars for the degree of difficulty in the Amazon Music app about how to re-upload downloaded music back into the Amazon Cloud."
"I grew up listening to Robert Shaw Christmas on the huge console stereo that took up half the living room!"
"As a Christmas music and classical music lover, I'm delighted by the inspired creativity and imagination shown by selecting these particular pieces. This is pretty much the very best Christmas CD I've ever heard."
"I have been forfunate to have sung with Robert during my college years-it was a truly wonderful experience to have him pop in on our rehearsals once in a while."
"The arrangements are simple, tasteful, and transparent; if you like BCM (Bombastic Christmas Music) this is not for you."
"This is some of the most beautiful Christmas music I own."
"A cappella music is difficult to sing and the Robert Shaw Chamber Singers do an amazing job of it."

"It is the original broadway album with Idina Mendez and Kristin Chenoweth and is the perfect addition to a collection of soundtracks from musicals."
"My all time favorite wicked soundtrack."
