Christmas Eve and Other Stories Product Description
Christmas Eve and Other Stories by Trans-Siberian Orchestra was released Sep 25, 2012 on the Lava label. What would happen if members of Savatage decided to write some Christmas songs? Easy: Trans-Siberian Orchestra. Christmas Eve and Other Stories This "supergroup" is the brainchild of Jon Oliva and Paul O'Neill (respectively the leader-keyboardist and the producer of Savatage). Christmas Eve and Other Stories They hired Al Pitrelli (Asia, Savatage) to play guitars, Robert Kinkel to help with keyboards, John Middleton (also a member of Savatage) on bass, and Jeff Plate on drums. Christmas Eve and Other Stories Lead vocals are shared by six vocalists, while some of the backing vocals are handled by Savatage lead singer Zachary Stevens. Christmas Eve and Other Stories is a concept album: all the songs are built as chapters of a book, each telling part of a larger story. The plot here is of a young angel sent down to Earth to find and bring back to the Lord "the one thing that best represents everything good that has been done in the name of this day." The angel's quest takes him all over the world, through Russia and Sarajevo, until he finally hears the prayer of a father. ...See Full Description

| Great Christmas Music I love the way the Trans-Siberian Orchestra plays old Christmas favorites. They just do a fantastic job! I have loved all their music I have heard. By a reviewer (Acworth, GA)  |
| Without Savatage there would be no TSO Trans Siberian Orhcestra was born out of the music of Savatage. Do yourself a favor and go pick up the album "Dead Winter Dead" as that's where "Christmas Eve Sarajevo" it was first written for. Read the credits and you will see the core rock band are the guys from Savatage. Then check out the album "The Wake of Megellan" and "Handful of Rain" and then you will understand where TSO comes from. Long live Savatage, Paul O'Neil and the Oliva brothers. By Rich (New Jersey) |
| The Greatest from them!!! Trans-Siberian Orchestra is an extra special band and you will find its masterpiece in this cd. It's like a little treasure box once you give it a chance. You will be glad that you've purchased it for your collection! By m.rodes (Miami, Florida, USA)  |
| Favorite Christmas CD Will purchase more of the Trans-Siberian Orchestras' CDs, after listening to this one. One regret: not able to attend concert while they were on tour. By a reviewer (Hickory, NC USA)  |
| One song wonder I bought this CD for the song "Christmas Eve/Sarajevo 12/24" which is dynamic. It's played on the radio all the time. Compared to this one, the rest of the songs were quite a disappointment. It is worth buying just to get the one song though. By a reviewer (Louisville, CO, USA)  |
