Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
Christmas probably sounded a lot like this in Hoboken, circa the late 1930s: A skinny kid with a huge voice leading friends through favourite carols like "Silent Night" and "Jingle Bells". Fast-forward a little and that skinny kid is no longer just another voice in the crowd. All ears are turned his way as he croons through a whole new set of Christmas standards, from "The Christmas Waltz" to "Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas". Sinatra is in fine voice on this 14-song set, which boasts some of the better arrangements you'll hear on a seasonal album. --David Sprague

THE christmas album,
By lynandlaurent@onmailco.uk (liverpool) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Sinatra Christmas Album (Audio CD)
Yes this has to be THE christmas album. Speaking as one who has bought every Crimbo disc ever made, Sinatra's essential recording has never dated on any of the tracks listed here. furthermore, this is the original listings album inclusive of one beautiful alternate take of Christmas waltz. If you ever ever get ONE christmas album to keep or give as a present this is the one. It is neatly divided into 2 sections, the first one is consisting of classic american tunes such as Jingle bells (wonderfully jazzy little number) and The christmas waltz (with frank wishing you all a Merry Christmas at the end) and also, a number written by him Mistletoe and Holly which manages to be charming and as lovely as any of his classics such as Young at heart.... The second has a more "classical" feel with Little town o bethleem and others... Please do not hesitate in getting this, you won't be let down. And when you listen to ityou will know Xmas has finally arrived in your home....Highly, highly recommended

If you like Sinatra's songs, then you can't go wrong!,
By ray.hughes@blueyonder.co.uk (Newcastle upon Tyne, England) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Sinatra Christmas Album (Audio CD)
If you like Sinatra or even if you don't, it is difficult not to enjoy this CD. this is Sinatra at his peak with the Big Band style backing. Not too smaltzy, his voice still has the cutting edge (in his later years his voice became perhaps TOO smooth). At the price this CD is a steal.Ray Hughes

Sinatra Christmas Album .... love it!,
By
This review is from: The Sinatra Christmas Album (Audio CD)
The orchestra directed by the wonderful Gordon Jenkins (those signature lush, quirky arrangements for the strings) mark this album out for me ... beautifully played, great musicianship .... recorded in early 60s (or late 50s??), the audio quality on my high spec hi-fi is very good indeed .... Sinatra does the business!
