| | Customer Reviews: Another beauty! (09 January 2010)Having listened to this album for a year, even during the summer months, and then reading the reviews by others, I found myself agreeing, particularly, with two of my fellow reviewers. As Lee Kaay said, "other reviewers have missed the point." Remember, "this is Enya, not different Enya". If you REALLY like Enya, why would you want something different? Me, I don't want anything different, I want her, in all of her glory - and this is a glorious album. In fact, this album is probably second only to Watermark, if not THE best. Then, there is Julia Gemstone. I am not a stressed parent (my two lads have flown the nest), but I agree entirely with her when she says she loves Enya and find her music soothing. I find great peacefulness in her music. Strangely, I am not a fan of Christmas, but do like Christmas music; but I think this album, as the title states, goes beyond Christmas and goes into the whole winter season. I find the whole album has great warmth and a variety of textures. It also feels like an album accessible to all - the children would like "One Toy Soldier", those who like a bit of tempo in their music have "My! My! Time Flies!" and "Trains and Winter Rains" to listen to, whilst those who want a hymnal slant can have the beauty that is "O Come, O Come Emmanuel" and the fantastic new, Chorale version of "Oiche Chiuin" (Silent Night in gaelic). For us romantics, I think the highlights of this album, and tracks I just can not stop playing are "Dreams Are More Precious" and "Last Time By Moonlight" - in my opinion, the two best tracks I have ever heard from Enya. The first has such beauty in the lyrics and are wonderfully sung as a single voice; the second, as with other tracks on this album, has a whole choir of Enya and is just the most magically romantic song - I get goosebumps listening to it. Yes, I know it's all subjective and it may not be everyone's cup of tea, but I find this to be a beautifully produced album, with stunning music, singing and instrumentation. The CD booklet is even a masterpiece, in snow white, with great pictures of our heroine and containing Roma Ryan's lyrics. For me, this is sheer bliss - New Age music at its very best. Thank you, Enya. Some may have doubted whether you, Roma and Nicky Ryan, still had the ability to come up with another great album, but you've done so here with something bordering on superlative. What I want now is a DVD of all the tracks....or is that one request too far? Perfect for Advent (06 January 2010)This is a beautiful CD to listen to and perfect for Advent listening. So impressed I bought a second one as a gift for my Mum. Enya (01 January 2010)One of her best,I really enjoy this CD and would recommend it to any fan of Enya. Beautiful X-Mas CD (25 December 2009)To be listened on the X-Mas Eve, above all, when wishes of love, joy and happiness knock all together to your door. The light New Age atmosphere of the music and the beautiful voice of the performer complete the masterpiece! A real first class CD! You won't be disappointed, ups she did it again... (24 December 2009)I have downloaded this album few weeks ago. It's wonderful as every masterpiece from Enya. I've got all her albums and cannot decide wich one is the best. I do not mind it's about the Winter. It is so perfect as it is. During the past frosty, snowy days I was listening to this album in my car. Spot on. At first glance the Trains and winter rains seems to be the best track, but the gaelic version of Silent night gives an unforgettable pleasure to your heart. I could listen to this album any time and season of the year. I would recommend this album to anyone who likes Enya. They won't be disappointed. Wonderful piece of music. |
