I was playing this cd a little early as i’m stuck at home with a bad cold, trying to cheer myself up.
For me it remains one of the best Christmas cd’s out there, being glad she chose to record more traditional/adult orientated songs as opposed to “Frosty The Snowman”
I remember on first listen being amazed at the strength of her vocals on “His Eye Is On The Sparrow”.
The songs recorded with the London Symphony Orchestra are a little lacklustre in comparison, but still make a welcome edition to the package.
I love all the songs with the exception of “Ave Maria”, with Latin pronunciation not being Diana’s strongest point.
Her live in Vienna version of “Amazing Grace” is spine tingling and probably one of, if not the very best live performances of her career.
