| | Customer Reviews: Enchanting! (20 December 2008)I have bought a Crooners at Christmas cd before where the sound quality was appalling ~ THIS cd on the other hand isn't like that! Yes, occasionally you get a hiss or crackle but on the whole the sound quality is amazing considering the age of the recordings. I love this cd, it is extremely atmospheric, like stepping back in time and listening to an old radio broadcast ~ I love some of the talky-bits that have been captured. If you have any taste in Christmas music then you won't let this cd pass you by! nostalgic (12 December 2008)I agree with the other positive comments. This is a magical cd choc full of christmas classics. The sound quality only adds to the experience of listening to these wonderful songs. I can 100% recommend this cd to anyone who gets excited at the prospect of christmas, and please do not let the negative comment put you off!! Nice idea, but terrible recording (02 December 2008)Like the previous reviewer, I'd advise people to stay well clear of this particular recording. The sound quality is abysmal. Avoid. For a Classic Christmas (30 November 2007)I would disregard the first review of this CD and skip straight to the second. This CD is wonderful. For those that want a more traditional, classic Christmas this is the one to get. Sit by a roaring fireside under the twinkling lights of the christmas tree, mulled wine in one hand, mince pie in the other and this music playing in the background. Truly magical! My favourites on the 2 CD's (bargain!) are Dean Martin's "It's Beginning To Look A Lot Like Christmas", Louis Armstrong's "Zat you Santa Claus" and Frank Sinatra's "Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas". The quality of the music is as good as you can get when the recordings are so old. It's not crackly and inaudible however, just full of charm. You really can't go wrong purchasing this! Merry Christmas! Superb- A Heartwarming Soundtrack to Your Xmas (25 November 2007)I really dont understand the last reviewers negative comments. True, these recordings arent modern quality ... GOOOOOOD !. These were recorded well over 50 years ago, what do you expect ?. For me, this adds to the experience. These recordings are good quality, not like some of those rediculous Rat Pack sets you get, which are live & terrible quality. Most are studio recordings & some are songs lifted from live recordings of festive radio shows (still recorded in a studio). I love this 3 cd set, just pop it on, on Christmas morning ... Perfect. |
