Editorial Reviews

Album Description
A sparkling collection of live performances from Chicago a cappella's first ten years of holidays programs. With Christmas spirituals, Chanukah songs, familiar carols, and new music from around the world, this is a collection of music you won't hear anywhere else.

RARB (Recorded A Cappella Review Board), website
"...fabulous intonation, blend, dynamics and energy....this nonet of singers is incredibly gifted."

Wisconsin Post-Crescent, Dec. 15, 2002
"They bring off both Lauridisen’s "O Magnum Mysterium" and Martin/Blane’s "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas" with equal aplomb."

Superb - a holiday must!5
If you like to listen to a well-rounded presentation of holiday music and want a break from the overplayed popular holiday tunes, this is an absolutely wonderful CD. I was introduced to Chicago a cappella several years ago by a friend and have been a subscription series holder ever since. They are an incredibly talented group of singers. They have a unique combination of humor and artistic talent which they balance very well. When I listen to O Magnum Mysterium, I have to close my eyes to take in all of the blended nuances of the piece. It is absolutely beautiful. It was after hearing them perform this piece live at Christmastime that I quickly purchased this CD during intermission. I cannot recommend this group enough, and of all the CD's I currently own by Chicago a cappella (four in totem), this is truly my favorite and truly demonstrates their diversity and talent. Do yourself a favor and pick up a copy of this CD, and if you're in the Chicago area, come and see them live. They are truly a treasure!
