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.

There is something about the simplicity of Christmas music when it is performed simply and without too much variation from the way we have always been used to hearing it . Aled Jones , with this album , has made what is the perfect soundtrack for the next few weeks , setting up the tree , hanging the decorations , gulping down the mulled wine and falling asleep on Christmas afternoon . I bought this CD last week and we have played it every morning and every night since . It's simplicity is it's beauty , it's the only Aled Jones album I have , more than anybody (and there are a lot of singers making these Christmas themed albums ) , I thought he would be the one that would understand and respect the songs as they should be performed , having been singing this type of repetoire for what must be 30 years (I have no idea how old he is , so this is just a guess!) .Real music for a real Christmas , aside from my Christmas from Kings CD , this is all we need.Happy Christmas !!

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!)

We all know that Aled has a truly remarkable voice. But it is the sheer musicality of this cd that makes it so glorious.

Aled's Christmas Gift
This is a CD of 14 mostly well known carols - although the CD at only 45 minutes is hardly generous. The accompying booklet also does not contain the words of the carols. Read more

Aled
We like to buy/enjoy Aled stuff since he appeared in 80s ... This album has some interesting arrangements, but in our opinion is not a good as his previous Christmas albums.
Published 17 months ago by Quill
Imaginatively original, superbly performed and a joy to listen to.
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... Read more
