"SuperStar Christmas"

Various Artists
Audio CD: FDO 2003-10-14
Label: Sony Music Media
"CD compliations for charity are often ho-humm, it seems that producers just ask for songs record companies/artist can spare and release it. But, this CD is something else. Most (not all) of the songs are great interpretation of Christmas classics and almost all have great sound. Personal favorites are Boys II Men's "Silent Night", Tony Benett's "Winter Wonderland", and Luther Vandross "Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas". However, the cut above every song is not really a Christmas song but Barbra Streisand's 60's rendition of "Our Father". Too bad the audio of the "Lord's Prayer" isn't really "good" but the song, the arrangement and Barbra's voice will make up for it. If you're just going to buy one Christmas CD, buy this one - and help at the same time... Enjoy!......at 320.0 kb/sec!"

"Christmas Memories"

Barbra Streisand
Audio CD: FDO 2001-10-30
Label: Columbia
"Recorded between July 19, 2001 and September 7, 2001. Includes liner notes by Jay Landers. Christmas Memories was nominated for the 2003 Grammy Awards for Best Traditional Pop Vocal Album. Barbra Streisand's first new holiday album in 34 years makes for a special occasion amongst her legions of fans. Christmas Memories, released within two months of the World Trade Center tragedy, is definitely a soothing, inspirational remedy for troubled times. "I'll be Home for Christmas" has been recorded hundreds of times, but in the context of American troops fighting abroad, the song becomes especially poignant. Barbra does a masterful take, with a polished, orchestral arrangement. Still glowing from saying "I Do" to actor James Brolin, Streisand shines on "A Christmas Love Song." Break out the chestnuts and eggnog as Babs warmly reminisces with vivid imagery on the Sondheim-penned "I Remember." Having recorded Gounod's "Ave Maria" on her first Christmas album, Barbra now brings that same passion to Schubert's version. Backed by a choir, the grandiose track resonates powerfully. Her voice soars to especially grand heights over a majestic arrangement on "One God," a song she first heard on a spiritual album by Johnny Mathis, and brings her unique style to the forefront on Christmas Memories. Enjoy!......at 320.0 kb/sec!"
