Product Description
CD Description
Aled Jones has just celebrated his 25th year/silver jubilee as a household name and to celebrate this event, he has recorded an amazing new Christmas album, which is sure to be a very popular choice this year.
The album features 13 new recordings including `In The Bleak Midwinter, `Away In A Manger', `First Noel', `See Amid The Winter Snow' and `Silent Night', and in addition features `Silver Bells' (with Sir Terry Wogan) that Aled sung for Children In Need.
The photographs for the album were taken in London's magnificent St. Bartholomew the Great, which gives Aled's album a stunning look.
When Aled is not presenting his other TV programmes this Autumn, you can see him on tour in November/December, during his 20-date national tour.

I came across this CD by accident as I was looking for The Gift by Susan Boyle. I ended up buying both albums and Aled's album (Aled's Christmas Gift) is far superior! I can't stop listening to it. It really is a stunning album.

I'm from Germany and love British christmas carols. Browsing through amazon.co.uk for something new I found this album and Aled Jones. His voice is just stunningly beautiful and being a classical singer myself I very much enjoy and appreciate his highly cultivated technique and musicality. Gorgeous CD, wonderfully produced. What a find and a lovely christmas gift indeed!
(Needless to say I ordered several of his CDs after listening to this one just once!)

This is something rather different from the typical run-of-the-mill Christmas carols album, and not at all what I was expecting when I first heard it played by someone else who'd bought it first.
The carol arrangements are new, distinctively `acoustic', and a pleasure to listen to. The instrumentation is crisp, tuneful and bright, and a perfect complement to the superb vocals, which are performed with freshness and lightness, depth and warmth.
The only `oldie' in it (and the only Christmas song sung in the more conventional Christmas light music style) is Aled's duet with Terry Wogan, first released last Christmas in support of Children in Need--and somehow, in the setting of the other pieces, this comes across much better than it did when it came out last year.
If you like Aled's non-chorister albums of recent years, this one ranks (in my opinion) as one of his best two, although it is actually quite unlike any of his previous recordings. This one is so good I've bought additional copies for family and friends!
This album is imaginatively original, superbly performed and a joy to listen to.
