Rating: - For the Love of Carols
This collection of carols by R. Shaw one of the best I have had the pleasure of experiencing. It is truely a joy.

Rating: - Traditional Christmas Music
If you love traditional Christmas music, done in traditional style (i.e., no rock or jazz influence), this CD is for you. The Robert Shaw Chorale, the "gold standard" of quality choral music, sings much loved carols, with some lesser-known pieces as well. Some are a cappella; some include a full orchestral accompaniment. My favorites on this CD are "We Three Kings," "Bring a Torch, Jeannette Isabella," and "I Saw Three Ships."
Rating: - The quintessential Christmas recording
