Product Description

From Amazon.com

With pleasing vocal holiday trimmings from the popular singing quartet, Manhattan Transfer's The Christmas Album seems designed for fans only. Its decidedly safe arrangements and harmony singing yield few surprises, only "Snowfall," the record's first track, and, oddly enough, John Lennon and Paul McCartney's "Goodnight," the album closer (and the very song that finished the Beatles' "White Album"). "Snowfall" acts as a romantic table setter for the cuddly fare that follows across The Christmas Album. "Goodbye," which always threatened to fall apart under the weight of its own brand of lovable Beatles schmaltziness, adds a bit more Christmas color to the instrumentation while letting the vocals lull and caress until a cute kid explains why they should go to sleep and wake up to get presents. Lovable schmaltz alert. --Martin Keller

5.0 out of 5 stars ステキなハーモニー　敬虔な中にも遊び心が感じられます, 2007/5/6
By sasabon - See all my reviews
(TOP 10 REVIEWER)   
合唱愛好者です。マンハッタン・トランスファーも20年以上前から聴いてきました。どの曲もマン・トラの魅力で溢れています。クリスマス・アルバムですが、１年中聞いていたい仕上がりですので、ファンにはたまらないものになっています。

5曲目の有名な「Silent Night, Holy Night（聖しこの夜）」も少年合唱を伴い、とても敬虔なアレンジでした。クリスマス・ソングの定番ですが、聴きなれた曲もこのようにお洒落に歌われたら、聞き惚れてしまいますね。

9曲目の「It Came Upon a Midnight Clear (あめなる神には)」は有名な讃美歌をアレンジしたものです。聴きなれた讃美歌よりもずっと凝ったアレンジで、とてもオシャレでステキです。単なるクリスマス・ソングのアレンジとは一味違った仕上りになっています。

10曲目の「Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas」や「Good Night」などの温かい雰囲気はクリスマスならではですが、マン・トラのハーモニーが夢の世界へと誘ってくれるようなジャジーな編曲でした。

マン・トラの実力の素晴らしさを再確認したアルバムです。クリスマスの期間だけの企画ものとしてだけでなく、ずっと愛聴したいＣＤです。
ジャズ・コーラスの醍醐味をお聴き下さい。

3.0 out of 5 stars 曲目は間違い!, 2003/11/13
曲目は11曲目のGoodnightまでしか収録されていません!
それ以降は多分ミスプリントでしょう。
でも、ひどい間違い!
信じて買ってがっかりしまいました。
