 Notes & Reviews
 
 
Gregory Kiely, Perth, Western Australia: Karen's singing is a flawless and well-produced technically - as expected. Karen sings a very well thought-out list of Yule-Tide favorites in the Carpenters usual style of light jazz-pop. One CD contains Karen's contribution from the an earlier 70's recording; and Richard's interpretation of Christmas tunes is better than expected on CD 2. It stands as one of the better Christmas recordings.

An outstanding collection of Christmas songs from a voice still loved 27 years after her death. I still feel awful thinking about her passing.

It is amazing how atmospheric this 2-disc set really is. I would guess that no one could really not like this, it is sooooo gooood!!

How about snowy days and Mondays? The soft, soothing sounds of Karen and Richard Carpenter are perfectly suited to a white Christmas with a crackling fire; here are their Christmas Portrait ('78) and An Old Fashioned Christmas ('84) LPs, together in one 2-CD set: It Came upon a Midnight Clear; O Holy Night; Christmas Waltz; Sleigh Ride; Silent Night; Jingle Bells; Ave Maria; Carol of the Bells; My Favorite Things; Do You Hear What I Hear; Santa Claus Is Coming to Town, and more!
