More Than Wonderful Live Holiday Concert

"Sandi's 2009 Christmas audio CD is a very smart production. This is the Iconic Sandi in her Inspirational element which combines elements of both the hit tune pop Artist and the classical music Diva with a Protestant Christian songstress persona of good will and grace. Most of the best Sandi Christmas tracks are here (minus "Bethlehem Morning") and Sandi is in superb voice. This is basically the standard Sandi Christmas concert that she has offered since the late 1990's but this one is decked out with terrific sound and a perfect setting.
This album is a a template for how to do a Sandi album from here on out: Live performance where Sandi is always at her best, lots of enthusiasm and overflowing heart and soul in Sandi's trademark mix of showtune drama, spiritual hymns and flashes of European opera and American black gospel. We can hope for a Live Patriotic album, a Live Hymn sing and a Live Praise and Worship outing. For Christmas, we are good to go with this fine album which also contains a second DVD disc of the concert.

"To truly appreciate the magnificent voice of Sandi Patty one must see her live. This live CD/DVD allows you to feel as if you have the best seat in the house. Backed by a full orchestra and choir as Sandi should always be, it felt like Christmas as soon as the DVD started. Her voice is as majestic as ever. The church is gorgeous and those dresses....WOW! But never lost in this project is the true message of Christmas. Sandi communicates that brilliantly with so much passion. The duet of "THE PRAYER" with her husband Don Peslis is stellar combining two voices matched perfectly and "O HOLY NIGHT" will give you the familiar Sandi Patty chill bumps associated with her big ending songs. However, it is the simple moments of just Sandi and the piano on songs such as "HOME FOR CHRISTMAS", "SOMEDAY" and "HAVE YOURSELF A MERRY LITTLE CHRISTMAS" that tugged on my heart strings making them my favorite moments. I highly recommend this CD/DVD as you will want to watch and listen to it time and time again. Sandi once again proves she has a voice like no other."
