   Summary: Mario Lanza - fantastic
Fantastic voice, wonderful classic Christmas songs. My all-time favourite version of O Holy Night - spine tingling.

   Summary: Christmas Hymns & Carols: You Do Something to Me
Wonderful songs, great selections of songs sung by the greatest singer, Mario Lanza.

   Summary: Pure hymnal power.
I have just spent the past six hours listening to snippets of every Christmas CD that I can find on Amazon, and this is the best by far. It's the purest rendition of the best Christmas hymns that are sung in church on Christmas Eve. No inane flourishes, no ignorant alterations, no arrogant amendments, just pure hymnal power. Don't agree? Type "christmas" in the Amazon music search box, listen to all the renditions of all the classic hymns such as "O Come All Ye Faithful" and when you are done you cannot but agree that Mario Lanza is not surpassed.

Update: I am now listening to the full CD and it is better even than I had hoped for. The beauty of Lanza's voice brings tears to my eyes and joy to my heart.

   Summary: Incomparable!
When I was growing up in the 60's and 70's Christmas was the focal point of family. It was the only time of year that we saw some of our kin. As such it was always a big deal when the climax of the evening was singing Christmas Carols and my Dad recorded every wacky moment on his reel to reel. Leading up to this extravaganza we'd play a number of different records throughout the day and this one always ruled the roost.

You don't have to be a scholar of musical composition and performance to recognize greatness when something resonates at the core of your being to such an extent that it sends goose bumps scurrying across your skin chasing your hairs on end. Such is the raw emotion conveyed in this most cherished recording. No other possessed such power and grace, and when coupled with the spirit of Christmas - whew! "O Holy Night" and "The Lord's Prayer" are breathtaking.

If you like Christmas music - buy the disc. Especially if you've grown somewhat tired of the usual fair that passes for songs of the season these days. It'll rejuvenate your sense of spirit and if you're not very familiar with him it'll introduce you to one of the greatest voices of all time.

   Summary: Singing through a tunnel
True. This CD is a timeless masterpiece. I would have given it five stars if RCA/BMG would have done a better job remastering. Just listen to other 40's/50's artists like Perry Como, Nat King Cole and Peggy Lee - and you'll notice the difference in sound quality. What did RCA/BMG do to ruin these magnificent recordings? The same thing they did to other Lanza recordings. It sounds as if Lanza is singing through a tunnel.
