Michael H. (Music-Man) from LA VERNE, CA
Reviewed on 9/4/2008...
MWS' first Christmas album with orchestra and choir. A departure from traditional carols, Michael composed new expressions of timeless truth. His "All is Well" is worth the price of admission!

CD Reviews

Classic Christmas Recording

"This CD was a real departure for Michael W. Smith. Released right after his i2(eye) CD, it was a complete style change - from 80's pop/rock to a choral sound. I must admit at first I was really disappointed, but the CD has grown on me until it's become one of my favorites.This CD sounds more like a choral album then an artist driven solo project. In fact, Michael doesn't even have all the solos. The music is full orchestra for a Christmas pageant feel. There are very few traditional carols on here, except in instrumental form. As a result, it takes several listens before it sounds remotely Christmassy. However, there are some powerful lyrics in the new songs that remind me of the wonder of the first Christmas. And "Gloria" is a fun rendition of the classic "Angels We Have Heard on High" that I have heard performed many times by choirs since this came out.Definitely buy this CD, but give it some time before you make up your mind about it. I'm certainly glad I did because I look forward to hearing it every Christmas."
This man is so diversely and Divinely talented...

"As I sat on a train bound for Illinois in November of 1989, I couldn't wait to listen and see what MWS would do on a Christmas Album. At first I was so surprised at what I found, but after listening to it over a dozen times while on that train trip, I realized that this was some of the best Christmas music I had ever heard. I couldn't stop listening. It captures your heart and transports you to another time and place, of Christmas' past. It infact does sound like an awesome movie soundtrack, and I remember him saying back when this was released that he wanted to compose movie soundtracks. This was maybe his first shot at it. Due to the overwhelming quality of music on this CD, MWS may be under using his unbelievable talent and I beg of someone to offer him the opportunity. I also wish Michael would do more recordings like this. You will enjoy this masterpiece, and not just at Christmastime! Be prepared to have a wonderful experience listening to this, some of his very best work!"
