Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review
Everybody's favourite precocious sprite of a soprano has made her third album, Dream a Dream. It has only been two years since Charlotte Church's smash debut, Voice of an Angel, but that's a big chunk of the Welsh singer's life span so far. This latest is basically a Christmas album, so full of festive cheer you'd never guess it was recorded in the summer. Even the glummest of moods will disappear when you hear Charlotte's infectious take on chestnuts such as "Winter Wonderland" and "Little Drummer Boy" (and having the London Symphony Orchestra as your backing band doesn't hurt either). And on top of that is a really special treat: the title song (borrowing an unforgettable classical melody) which blends Church's soaring vocals with the tender voice of young country prodigy Billy Gilman. --Sarah Chin

5.0 out of 5 stars Easily my favorite Christmas album, 13 Dec 2003
By Daniel Jolley "darkgenius" (Shelby, North Carolina USA) - See all my reviews
(TOP 10 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
Dream a Dream is hands-down my favorite Christmas album. Released in 2000, this was only Charlotte Church's third album, but the young soprano's angelic voice was already perfectly suited for invoking the most beautiful strains of season's tidings and awakening the Christmas spirit in even the most unrepentant of Ebenezer Scrooges. Mixing traditional hymns with a few modern classics, Charlotte Church has made herself, in the form of this album, an essential part of my holiday preparations year in and year out.

The album opens with Dream a Dream (Elysium), Charlotte's duet with young Billy Gilman; granted, this is not exactly a Christmas song, but it is a beautiful, soul-stirring piece of music I can't keep myself from playing over and over again. It is a wonderful introduction to the other songs to follow. Among the tracks are several secular songs that all will recognize. Charlotte's unmatched professional musical styling imparts a refreshingly new spin on Winter Wonderland and The Christmas Song. The more serious When a Child Is Born, a song I was unfamiliar with, and The Little Drummer Boy, along with the joyful Ding Dong! Merrily on High stand somewhere between secular and religious pieces, providing an easy transition to the spiritual songs Charlotte was seemingly born to sing.

One comes to feel as if one knows certain hymns such as Joy to the World, O Come, All Ye Faithful, and Hark! The Herald Angels Sing from singing them in church every December, but no one I have heard has ever imbued these songs with the power and splendor that pours out of Charlotte's soul. The final verse and chorus of each of these hymns is simply amazing, with Charlotte gracefully lilting over notes far too high for most talented sopranos. The same can be said of O Holy Night; to me, this is the quintessential Christmas hymn, and only a rare few have the voice to sing the song the way it was meant to be sung. Of course, Charlotte's voice loses none of its power and beauty in songs written in a less vocally challenging register. Songs such as Mary's Boy Child, What Child Is This? (Greensleeves), God Rest Ye Merry, Gentlemen, and Silent Night reflect a somberly respectful quality, and Charlotte more than does these songs justice. She brings equal amounts of passion, warmth, and respect to each of the songs on this album.

Charlotte also provided me with a wonderful introduction to several songs I had never heard before: The Coventry Carol (Lully Lullay), Draw Tua Bethlehem/Far Over Bethlehem, Gabriel's Message, and Lo! How a Rose E'er Blooming. Draw Tua Bethlehem features both Welsh and English lyrics, and Charlotte's voice is equally beautiful in any language. For me, this entire album is nothing short of perfect. The contributions of the London Symphony Orchestra and Choir as well as the New London Children's Choir should not be overlooked, especially given the fact that several of these songs basically require the backup of heavenly choirs proclaiming the good news, and Julian Smith deserves recognition for his superb arrangements of most of the tracks on the album. With so much talent brought to bear on this project, it is only natural that this CD should find an important place in many a music lover's Christmas traditions.

5.0 out of 5 stars A CD FOR EVERY CHRISTMAS, 3 Jun 2006
Just want to say that this album is great. I put it on the stereo every Christmas without fail, as well as listening to it at other times of the year, and it always puts me in the Christmas spirit!! I love the song 'Ave Maria' the best - probably - although 'The First Noel' and 'Hark! The Herald Angels Sing' are both brilliant. An album that doesn't wear out!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Sweet Charlotte enhances the Christmas spirit, 18 Nov 2000
By A Customer
A friend sent me the North American version of Charlotte's latest CD release, Dream a Dream, some three weeks ago. This is a very different Charlotte to the one we've come to know and love. Gone is the almost uncontrollable vibrato of her earlier must-buy recordings, "Voice of an Angel" and the self-titled "Charlotte Church". Arrived is the beautifully maturing voice of a young singer I've dubbed "The Welsh Daffodil". If this is the only purchase you make this year - buy this album now - and really enjoy the seasonal festivities. My favourite track? "A Child is Born" - A truly excellent release.
