If you thrill to the soaring operatic voices of The Three Tenors (and imagine every Christmas comes with its own orchestral majesty), Il Divo has made this disc for you. The four GQ-handsome male singers were handpicked by American Idol's Simon Cowell for what seems to be their ability to sing opera and classical music with the hint of a pop sensibility. Their Christmas Collection features 10 standards (although the last time Santa looked, he wasn't quite sure "Over the Rainbow" and "The Lord's Prayer" were part of the Christmas canon). Still, it' hard not to imagine these emotionally stirring renditions as part and parcel of the reverential treatment the four finely sculpted voices bring to more exact seasonal fare such as "O Holy Night," "Ave Maria," "Panis Angelicus" and even "White Christmas." Dave Arch's predictable choral and orchestral arrangements are aimed right at the sweet spot where sophisticated church choir music and traditional classical music meet, with few surprises other than the dash of Irish folk music that colors "When A Child Is Born." In the end, for people who have never heard of Cowell and his cohosts (would Paula Abdul really have picked the tenor guy for this group?!), this collection will prove just as rewarding for them as the best-selling Idol records are for fans of the TV stars. --Martin Keller

 Beautiful December 26, 2008
J. Kirch (Carmel IN USA)
This is one of the most well done albums ever. These performers are terrific. A sound that is easily listened to.
Five Stars plus!! December 25, 2008
Bernice M. Lutz (Collins, NY)
If ever there was a CD meant to be heard-it is this one--IlDivo is comprised of 4 Angels--their voices are perfect and listening to them sing is an unbelieveable experience.. Hopefully there will be many more years of this pleasurable music.
What wonderful sounds! December 24, 2008
Music Queen (Louisville, KY)
This is a great Christmas CD! I am giving one as a gift. I would highly recommend it!
Beauiful, beautiful sound. December 24, 2008
Iris Craddock (Los Angeles, CA USA)
These are such soaring classic voices, singing familiar carols -- and the addition of Somewhere Over the Rainbow is a nice surprise! I love it.
 Beautiful Voices December 24, 2008

After hearing this group sing Amazing Grace I could hardly wait to get their complete album. It was wonderful voices and music. The only disappointment I had was that very little of it was in English. The sound was still beautiful but would have loved to know what the words were to the songs.
