Product Description

CD Description

Doctor Who on Christmas Day has now become part of the yuletide tradition in the UK almost rivalling the seasonal greats such as Morecambe & Wise, The Queen's Speech and EastEnders. The 2010 edition was the third most watched programme on December 25th with 12.1m viewers and the fourth most viewed episode since the programme's revival in 2005. The thrilling seasonal adventure starring Matt Smith as the eleventh doctor featured stellar guest stars Michael Gambon and Katherine Jenkins. The musical maestro himself, Murray Gold, provides his usual eloquent, immaculately crafted soundtrack. Opera diva Jenkins captivated audiences with Abigail's Song (Silence Is All You Know) featured on this release.

By L. Hubbard TOP 500 REVIEWER

Murray Gold has done another fantastic job on this soundtrack. Unlike Doctor Who: Series 5 which had the new Doctor's theme in abundance, this release has fewer references to it, and when it does pop up, the orchestrations are slightly different which keeps the theme feeling fresh. The score has some great orchestral and choral writing, with just the right Christmas feel as to feel wintry but not clichéd.

Of course, the highlight has to be Abigail's Song (Silence is All You Know), with the angelic Katherine Jenkins making it sound effortless. The album is worth the price for this one track alone. The weaving of Abigail's theme in some of the tracks is rather brilliant ("I Can't Save Her" and "Shark Ride" and "New Memories" are sublime example of this).

I would say this album really shows the strength of Murray Gold's writing. Because he wasn't so heavily reliant on the Doctor's theme, this seems to have allowed him to be more creative in the orchestrations and melodies throughout the entire album, especially with Abigail's Theme. The National Orchestra of Wales have once again done a fantastic job and the recording mix is brilliant. Running in at 49 minutes, it probably has most of (if not all) of the music present in the episode and feels like it is a perfect length. If you liked Gold's previous scores, it is highly likely you will enjoy this!

The music is great but generally it feels... a little unnecessary. All of the other Christmas specials have been included in part of the other albums. Read more
