Oldie but Goodie.......2007-03-28

This is a wonderful children's CD. My two kids loved it when they were little (it was a record then) and now I keep several on hand to include in gifts for babies and small children. Burl Ives' voice is "easy on the ears" for adults as well.

Great songs.......2006-05-16

I highly recommend this CD. I grew up listening to Burl Ives as a child (his adult stuff), and was looking for some of his music for my son. This CD is perfect - my 2 1/2 year old son's current favorites are the "train song" (little engine that could) and the "goose song". We listen to it over and over in the car.

Burl Ives Sings A Little White Duck.......2006-03-15

When I saw that this was available, I had to have it. Listening to Burl Ives brought back such good memories of my childhood. I listened to it all of the time and even now I still remember the lyrics. The CD provides good, wholesome, entertainment and also wonderful phonemic awareness opportunities for little ones.

Beloved songs.......2006-02-01

...but where is the Crocodile Song that was on the original album? What a classic.

a baby-boomer classic!.......2005-02-28

I suppose i shouldn't have been surprised to read the other reviews and stories of how precious this album--and its memories---were to the other reviewers; back when we "baby-boomers" were little the music/media field was MUCH smaller--only a handful of artists putting out children's music. so like with "hula hoops" or "mickey mouse club", the folks weaned on this album probably numbers in the millions! Who knew!? but now most are too old or too "cool" to remember this "classic rock(a-bye)" album. so it was a pleasant surprise when i too typed in this title on a whim and found such kindred spirits! Anyway, for the newcomers- this is great folk music (with a child's style) delivered by a master the likes of which they just don't make no mo'! thanx, burl!

poor sound quality.......2004-09-29

a great selection of baroque favorites, but the sound quality, especially on the pachelbel canon, not great at all. for that reason, i cannot recommend getting it. what do you expect for five dollars, right !>? i would suggest spending a little more money and getting something that you can't bear to part with, for continued listening enjoyment.

SUPERB.......2004-02-19

An introduction to the best baroque music by famous composers.
Great sound on this CD. There are over 10 CD's in this Farorites collection, and this by far is one of the best ones.

If you like the classical sounds of music, then you will like this. Check out the samples on this page that they provide, that's the best way to review.

In this case: I'm baroque.......2004-02-07

I'm not usually a classical listener kind of gal. The only reason I stumbled onto this cd is because my favorite tune from a movie is on it. Sarabande is also played on the movie Persuasion (author: Jane Austen). I wanted to have that tune. Followed the links and landed on the Baroque cd. Ordered it. Sarabande is my favorite, followed by Canon, four seasons: spring, etc. I love this cd! It feels happy and light. For me, as a writer and an animator, it adds extra emotional impact when creating as well as influencing my imagination more. I recommend this cd when people want to feel like spring.

Come to laugh and stay to cry.......2003-11-26

Circumspect at first about buying any CD with a "best of" title, this one really exceeds expectations. Also bought the Vivaldi disc in this series which is likewise exceptional. With the caveat that "Ombra mai fu" is repeated in various of the "25 favorites" collections, I recommend these recordings wholeheartedly, especially in terms of cost per track.

"Canon" is the flagship piece on this CD, a lush arrangement that will move a strong man to tears. Almost as powerful are Bach's "Air on the G String" and of course, Handel's "Ombra mai fu". The disc ends on an up note with "Trumpet Voluntaire".

At this price, you can send "Baroque favorites" to every Classical music lover you know. I would recommend sending this CD even to people who don't like Classical...you might just change their minds.

Great Introduction to Beautiful Music.......2000-07-08

The Baroque period (1600-1750) was one of the most important in the history of music because many of our modern musical forms come from this time. The baroque style is diverse, including such elements as contrast and a deep emotionalism. Although orchestras perform the songs, many individual instruments are highlighted. The baroque composers especially loved strings, the trumpet, and the oboe. The songs range from the vibrant and the lively to the slow and the sad. I have found this CD is excellent as background music for studying, reading, or driving in rush hour traffic, mainly because the music is calming and relaxing. Baroque masters such as Bach and Handel are still popular today and their songs are loved by many. Fans of popular music will recognize a few of the songs on this CD. "Air on the G String" (Bach) was used by Procol Harum in their song "A Whiter Shade of Pale." "Canon," one of the most popular baroque songs today, is often performed at weddings and has been incorporated into pop songs by artists such as the Trans-Siberian Orchestra, Vitamin C, and Rod McKuen.

Cedarmont Kids Christmas.......2007-01-17

I was hoping for more traditional 'sing-along' songs.
My 3 year grandchild was not familiar with several. I usually love the Cedarmont Kids and she does also.

Christmas Favorites Cedarmont Kids.......2007-01-15

Jazzy got a lot of pleasure from this CD as well as her father

This was a big help for my Christmas program.......2007-01-15

I create my own Christmas programs for my elementary students each year and relied a lot on this CD this year. I wasn't disappointed! The kids loved the songs and the split tracks made it easy to use. I've been happy with every Cedarmont product I've tried so far.

Its good and not so good.......2006-11-28

Great cd it just has way to many verses for the little ones to remember.

Wonderful Intro To Christmas Treasures ~ Mehdi.......2005-12-01

I've always enjoyed great christmas music and this album is no exception, but while reading some of the customer recommendations posted on this site I discovered "Christmas Treasures" by Mehdi (pronounced meddie). After online search I listened to the samples ...
I was instantly blown away by the unique renditions of all my Christmas favorites and so I gave it a try.

I have it in my multi-disc CD player and love the way it compliments my current holiday collection. I highly recommend that you give this artist a try or atleast just go listen to the samples, I have a feeling you'll be glad you did.

Next to Dick Clark, Casey Kasem is America's favorite deejay. On his 30-tune collection of presumably his All-Time Christmas Favorites, the timeless CK seems to be appealing to elderly listeners who warm to the classical sounds of the season from yesteryear and get a big bang for the buck. With cuts by the likes of Nat King Cole, Burl Ives, Doris Day, Sammy Davis, Jr., Dean Martin, Bing Crosby and others, you know he's not about to be spinning much beyond Martina McBride, whose "Do You Hear What I Hear?" is the most current thing on the two-disc set. Still, with classics from Eartha Kitt ("Santa Baby"), The Boston Pops Orchestra under Arthur Fiedler ("Sleigh Ride"), Amy Grant ("Hark! The Herald Angels Sing") and more, Kasem knows that the best songs never go out of style, especially at Christmas. --Martin Keller

Customer Reviews:

Christmas Classics.......2006-12-20

I bought this cd because it has many of the songs and singers that I listened to growing up. We had a two-record album of songs that had the pictures of all the singers in a circle on the front. I've often looked for a replacement for that and ran across this. Several of the songs are exactly the same. For example, Andy Williams "Most Wonderful Time" is just one that I really wanted to recapture on a compilation cd.

The best thing about this two cd set is that it contains many of the definitive versions of most traditional holiday songs. Nat King Cole's version of The Christmas Song is by far the most tender and careful rendition of this classic. And who else could do "Holly Jolly Christmas" other than Burl Ives? Elvis has several good Christmas songs, but none better than "Blue Christmas." And its so fun to hear Boston Pops doing Sleigh Ride. These are true Christmas classics that I want my family to hear each year. The collection even includes a contemporary classic, McBride's stunning version of "Do You Hear What I Hear?"

I could quibble with some of the selections. For example, I would much rather have Lou Rawls' "Christmas Is." Then this collection could have included Tony Bennett's essential take on "Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas." Having no Tony Bennett is the cds one glaring oversight.

If Casey Kasem really chose this selections, then why no liner notes? I would like to have had his input on the tracks. In this regard the cds that Starbucks puts out each year do a much better job. Still for what it is, I'm glad to have this one. If I'm going to play "Twelve Days of Christmas" over and over again for my kids, you better believe it's going to be Harry Belafonte's take! 4 stars.

Excellent Christmas collection album !!.......2004-12-14

Save time and money and just buy this CD set...no need to go looking for other CD's that have only one or two of these great classics!

FINALLY...A FULL COLLECTION!!.......2004-11-28

This album is great! I have been searching and searching for a "compete" Chrsitmas album with all the old favorites. Growing up, these songs were always played as we decorated the tree and wrapped presents. Finally, I've found a CD that resembles and I can now enjoy the "trimming the tree" tradition with my husband and little girl, listening tothe Christmas songs I love!

Best christmas record ever!.......2004-09-20

This cd is simply the greatest Christmas cd ever made. It has all famous Christmas songs, sang by the people who made them famous. I don't understand why there are not more enthousiastic people out there!

I've owned this for years and never tire of it. Guests ALWAYS ask what I'm playing. I've purchased several copies as gifts. If you're sick of the stuff they play in malls and pine for some big, inspiring, classical arrangements, this is the CD for you.

Best Christmas CD!!.......2004-11-16

I love the traditional carols on this CD. The Carol of the Bells is my favorite!! I also love Silent Night which is one of my all time favorite Christmas carols. This album is great to put on a at a Christmas party and hit repeat. It has a nice mix of songs that you don't get tired of hearing! This is a must have and I would highly recommend this CD for anyone that enjoys Christmas songs and the holiday season. You will catch yourself humming the songs through out your day! It will definitely get rid of any "BAH HUM BUG" moods!

Excellent Symphonic Christmas Album.......2001-12-22

I was looking for arrangements of many traditional Christmas carols done by orchestras. This album hits the spot. It is not uniquely orchestra carols, the Canadian Brass is mixed in as welll. The highlight of the album for me is the back to back track of "Sleigh Ride" pieces. It begins with W.A. Mozart's "Sleigh Ride," followed by Leopold Mozart's piece of the same name, and then finnished with the ever popular arangement of "Sleigh Ride" by Anderson. It is a really good mix of carols, and can be listened to for hours.

Spectacular arrangements, spectacular voices........2004-11-19

Hawaii's most famous singing brothers duo (with well over 30 albums to their credit) here presents a Christmas luau of songs, with everything from traditional carols, such as the wonderfully arranged and sung "We Three Kings" and "Angels We Have Heard on High" to contemporary songs (less interesting to me), such as the cute "Me and My Teddy Bear." As is always the case with the Cazimeros, the emphasis is on elegant harmonies which highlight the range of their voices, with occasional multiple tracks which allow them to introduce countermelodies and rhythms.

Among their special talents is their ability to combine two or more completely different songs, singing them simultaneously--in this case, "God Rest Ye, Merry Gentlemen/ Joy to the World (which is outstanding)" "Away in a Manger/ Ho'omaika'i (a traditional Hawaiian song of celebration)," and "Ring Those Bells/Christmas Luau," the harmonies of which are, unfortunately, a bit muddy in the "Ring Those Bells" section. Every song sung by the Cazimeros is a "star turn," with elaborate arrangements to showcase their many talents, and this Christmas album is no exception. Mary Whipple, whose heart is at Mauna Kea.

Cazimero Christmas Favorites.......2000-12-14

For fans of the Brothers Cazimero, this is the best holiday CD available. It takes the best songs from their two previous Christmas CDs and brings them together. This is the only Hawaiian Christmas CD you need. The harmony that these two brothers produce is some of the best in music and they are loved by fans, both Hawaiian and haole!

A heartwarming and charming holiday piece.......2007-05-30

in 1994 with the return of jafar, disney discovered something that other studios already knew; the sequel is a great way to make a quick buck. in 1997, they proved that nothing was sacred when beauty and the beast and the enchanted christmas was released. i still feel that the movie's not really that bad, granted i haven't seen it since its original release when i was 7. believe me at the time i wasn't the most cinematically astute, but still the movie's actually one of disney's better dtv (direct to video) releases. but how does this soundtrack stand up?

PART I

well i was skeptical in the beginning to say the least. i mean i feel that alan menken and howard ashman may just be one of the greatest song writting teams of all time. so how could anyone else live up? thats certainly what i thought at first. when i discovered that academy award winner rachel portman wrote the score i was mildly relieved and when i learned that don black (who did aspects of love) wrote the lyrics i was a bit relieved. so here's how it all adds up, and believe me it's not that bad.

as an audience, our exposure to the score is pretty limited. we're only treated to three songs on the end and two are quite short. the score isn't all that bad and relys heavily on stories and as long as there's christmas, but still pretty good. this really doesn't venture out from those pieces and doesnt really contain much for originality. it certainly doesn't live up to alan menkens, but it's a fun, light-hearted score; which is what it's ultimately going for.

SCORE 3 out of 5

as far as most dtv sequals are concerned, we the audience are treated to a couple of overly sappy and cliched songs, but this soundtrack punches out a fairly impressive 6 sub-par tunes, which is right up there with other theatrical releases, quantity wise. actually the songs are pretty fun and original for the most part and work much better when they go for light hearted rather than inspiring or emotional.

DECK THE HALLS - this opens the piece and a lot of time is spent with the original song. it would've been much more fun if more time had been spent with the original objects since here is where we discover that the entire original cast has returned.
3 out of5

STORIES - this is really the breakout song from this album, and rightly so. compared to the rest of the songs, it's certainly the best and surprising good on its own. it's a nice ballad that does get a little cliched at times and some of the lyrics are less than steller, but is overall fun and enjoyable. paige o'hara's great vocals really lift this song out of the soundtrack in a way that only she can.
4 out of 5

AS LONG AS THERE'S CHRISTMAS - this is the best attempt at a broadway-esque song. it does alright in that respect but again the cd should've stuck more with fun and heartwarming, but this delivers the "true message of christmas" beautifully and the entire cast being back really doesn't hurt things any.
4 out of 5

DON'T FALL IN LOVE - this song tries for the witty brilliance of howard ashman more than any of the others. it's kind of hit or miss (mostly somewhere in between) the songs saving grace comes from tim curry's hammy vocals that really make this work. the songs ultimate downfall is in the corny, over-the-top organ music. (we get it he's an organ ... chill)but this still works well.
3 out of 5

A CUT ABOVE THE REST - this is another good little song that illustrates why the songs should've stuck more with fun and light-hearted. jerry orbach and david odgen stiers are great here and really work well off of one another. but they're really all this song has going for it. there isn't really anything original lyrically and the music is just fun and fast paced, but still fun.
3 out of 5

all in all, this portion had a pretty tough road ahead of it since we all remember the original score and music. but if you can enter this open-minded, it definatley feels pretty enjoyable and is a great holiday piece for conveying christmas' true meaning and that original cast is really the strongest part here. the music and lyrics arent all that bad, and hold up pretty well on their own NOT compared to that original soundtrack

SONGS OVERALL - 3 out of 5

PART II

this is where we are treated to 8 christmas carols performed by paige o'hara (belle). honostly, this is why i bought the cd since i think o'hara has an amazingly brilliant voice. this was a great opprotunity. disney got to flesh out their soundtrack with lots of extra music, and paige o'hara got more exposure for her most famous role and was able to release a christmas album, without actually releasing one since these are not exactly the most esteemed types of cd to release. this faces a lot of prejudices right away since we'v all heard these songs a million and a half times, but o'hara's vocals make them all feel pretty light and fresh again.

What a wonderful soundtrack!.......2005-08-29

This soundtrack is one of my favourite Disney Soundtracks! The songs in it are beautiful, especially "Stories" and "As long as there's Christmas"! I have a Christmas-feeling when I listen to this CD, it's so enchanted! I love Belle's voice very much, it just like a bell! And it can make me feel warm and strong inside! Chip's voice is lovely too! "We will build a snowman reaches the sky!" Oh, so cute! I think this is a perfect soundtrack, it is collectable to your Disney Christmas Collections!!!

Where's Mrs Potts?.......2005-08-02

An adequate CD, but one may as well buy any ordinary christmas album, nothing here is special to beauty and the besat. Beauty and the Beast without Angela Lansbury is a disturbing thought, a real disappointment that she isn't on there. If she was, the rating would no doubt have risen to 5 stars.
Fancy putting talent a Broadway star in a musical and not writing her a number or two! Crazy!

Cute & Charming.......2003-09-15

The songs on this soundtrack are a great follow-up to Beauty and the Beast. They definitely give a fun holiday feel and are cute in an endearing way. There are songs from the movie and traditional Christmas songs sung by Belle. Also, the three instrumental songs are a good end to the CD. I own the movie and love all of the music in it!

A GREAT SOUNDTRACK!!!.......2003-01-26

I love this movie! I love the music as well to it! It has great songs to the movie plus great Christmas songs as well! I feel you should own it if you have the movie! Get the complete collection. :)
