Title: A winner at any price!
Review: This recording will enthrall you from the first swinging sounds of "Jingle Bells".The Manhattan Transfer has done something I swore could not be done...they bettered their 1992 Christmas album!The album features the usual close, lush harmonies, and the beauty of the song "Toyland" will have to be experienced to be believed. While the work is not strictly "a capella" (in the style of the chapel; singing without instruments) the instrumental accompaniment heard throughout is understated and quietly supports the singers.Be warned ..."Good King Wenceslas" features children's voices, which, while pleasant, are by no means professional (though there is one lovely young women's voice heard at one point...she has a definite gift).I hope MT chooses to release this in America soon, rather than keeping it as in import only. But it does not matter...An Acapella Christmas is worth the the additional expense!
