Editorial Reviews
Album Description
Contemporary Canadian carols, English luck-visit songs, Gregorian chant, cantiques traditionnels, German lullabies, sombre Russian motets. This contrasting array is a small sample of the vast spectrum of music sung throughout the Christian world to celebrate Christmas (Noël, Navidad, Jul, Weihnacht). Chor Leoni and their internationally known conductor, Diane Loomer, have searched the choral world for seasonal pieces for men’s voices, some written especially for "the lions," and tried to capture the style of these contrasting works from the corners of Christianity. We hope you will forgive us if we have added a bit of "Chor Leoni" flavour to the recipe. You may not find all of your favourite carols, but we hope this recording brings you a wider appreciation of the way in which this special day is celebrated by Christians and their choirs throughout our shrinking globe.

5 out of 5 stars Fabulous Christmas CD - Yuletide Fires.......2004-01-12

Yuletide Fires brought the true meaning of Christmas to my home. The finest men's choir singing at the highest performance level. Highly recommended! Beautiful!

5 out of 5 stars Yuletide Fires.......2003-12-04

BUY IT! It is wonderful. The best Christmas gift for someone who loves choral music. You have to sit in the dark and close your eyes to really appreciate how the men's voices blend together. Their ennunciation, phrasing and breath control is incredible and the few instruments that accompany these carols are as simple, gentle and calming as the beautiful singing

5 out of 5 stars The best Christmas CD I've ever heard........2003-12-04

This gentle, relaxing collection of familiar and not-so-familiar Christmas music from around the world is simply beautiful. Beautifully sung and recorded, there is such amazing variety and depth. Diane Loomer, Chor Leoni and soloists have really done themselves proud. This production is destined to become an instant classic. So, if your idea of Christmas music is children's choirs belting out Jingle Bells, try this masterpiece. You'll listen to it again and again.
