Christmas With Thomas Hampson / Hampson, Wolff, St. Paul Co Classical Review

Average Rating: (5 out of 5 stars) 5 stars

5 stars My Favorite Christmas album?!
This could turn out to be one of the most-listened to Christmas albums in my collection. Not only is the material varied from the usual selection of carols, Hampson's singing is impressive without being "operatic". It's a joy to listen to him. The accompaniement of the St. Paul Chamber Orchestra is also first rate. The combination results in a truly beautiful album. I highly recommend this to everyone.
