(More customer reviews)I received my video yesterday and watched it immediately. I was captivated from beginning to end by the spectacular music, scenery and pagentry. The buyer of this video should be aware, however, that it is not just about Andrea Bocelli. I have been a loyal fan of Andrea's from his earliest days of singing in Italy, and once again he is in true form and sings his three songs beautifully. The music of Charlotte Church and Bryn Terfel is just as lovely, and the readings of scripture and the music of the Westminster choirs were wonderful and help to bring into focus the true meaning of this holy season. The expressions on the faces of the young boys in the choir were priceless. This video provided me with an hour of exquisite peace and was the perfect way to begin preparing for the upcoming holiday season. It helped to reinforce the true reason we celebrate this holy season-the celebration of the birth of our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ.
