"This is the latest of a number of fine Christmas LP's and CD's, which the Canadian Brass has released over the years. Alas, none of the others appears to still be available, but be not dismayed, this is the best of the bunch.The wonderful level of performance is what we have come to expect, and almost take for granted from the Canadian Brass. The addition of the Elmer Iseler Singers on about half of the recordings adds a further lyrical component to the already high quality of this CD. It would be a meaningful addition to anyone's holiday music library."

"This is the sort of cd that makes you want to listen to christmas music all year round. The humour in twelve days of christmas is absolutely superb - don't miss it!"
Good Stuff!

"This is yet another top-notch Canadian Brass Christmas album. These guys, once again, demonstrate why they are the best in the world at what they do. With the addition of the fine choral singing by the Iseler Singers, this is the complete Christmas CD, one you'll never get tired of year after year. Buy it!"
The Best of The Best

"Just be sure to buy this version (18 tracks) rather than what appears to be a very pared-down later issue (same cover, only about half a dozen tracks).
This is by far the best holiday album I have ever heard. I am a double-reed player and I must take issue with the complaints about intonation and musicianship by the one negative reviewer on this page. The song selection, mix of secular and religious, mix of serious and light, mix of familiar/less heard - Good as driving music, gift wrapping, or sing-along. This is the Holiday CD I listen to year round. If you are looking for ONE CD to buy for the season- for your collection or as a gift- This is it!"
Great Christmas Album

"I've had this particular Canadian Brass album for so long that I have it on cassette! But it's become a classic family Christmas album for us. It's a great addition to any Christmas, especially as background music. It's very calming and just plain good. I can't imagine my Christmas without it."
