Ultimate Collection (2003-10-31)

This is a must for the Christmas season! With the unique musical variations that have made Manheim Steamroller so popular and the classic songs of Christmas, you have a cannot miss CD collection for your holidays. These CD's are perfect for trimming the tree or opening presents or whatever special event you celebrate during the Christmas season. You can't help but tap your toes.

All the best (2002-10-09)

If you have any interest in Christmas music at all, you really ought to get this compilation. Mannheim Steamroller writes some of the best interpretations of Christmas music ever heard, particularly on the first two albums ("Christmas" and "A Fresh Aire Christmas.") The second two albums fall a little short of those masterpieces, as composer Chip Davis opted to use more electronic sounds in place of acoustic instruments, thus making the arrangements sound a bit thinner and less heartfelt. Still, all of the albums here are way above the offerings from most other groups.

Perhaps what works best about Chip's interpretations is that although he alters the songs from their original state, they somehow always remain faithful to the "feel" of the original. For example, listen to "O Holy Night" on "A Fresh Aire Christmas." Sure, Chip took a few liberties with it, but it ends up being one of the most stirring renditions I've yet to hear. Other groups have had less success doing this. Some (Destiny's Child... ughh) try to hard to popularize the carols, and only end up stripping away the emotional core of the music.

All of the CDs are now in HDCD for superior quality, so if you're like me and have the older ones on cassette (or vinyl!), this is a good opportunity to upgrade your collection. If you don't own any of the albums in any shape or form, you're really missing out.

Awesome! (2001-12-18)

I just pop the 4 CD's in my changer...and the next 3+ hours go byvery quickly! Christmas is stressful, but listening to this set makes it all worth it. Thoroughly enjoyable for any time of theyear!

"HALLELUJAH...remastered on HDCD & a new Christmas Mannheim" (2001-11-10)

Just when you thought there was no Santa Claus, Chip Davis has done it again..."HALLELUJAH", the opening track on the newly released "Christmas Extraordinaire", has the old magic from his previous albums...which by the way have all been "remastered" on HDCD, very beautiful gift-pack containing four inspiriational albums telling the Christmas story.

I was one of the lucky fans to suggest some of the titles for this 2001 release ("Christmas Extraordinaire") on the Mannheim Steamroller website...much to my surprise all twelve selections are special and from the heart, which is why we are drawn to their music...for instance listen to Chip's arrangement of "THE FIRST NOEL", remember the last track on his "Christmas"(1984), who can forget the touching "STILLE NACHT", this has the same effect, as "The Soli Deo Gloria Cantorum Women's Choir" blends their heavenly voices with countpoints of melody, this is when Christmas music leaves you feeling good all over...tis the season ~ MANNHEIM STEAMROLLER-CHRISTMAS COLLECTION!
