Movie Reviews of Christmas with the Mormon Tabernacle Choir and Orchestra at Temple Square Featuring Sissel

Movie Review: An Outstanding Christmas Program!
Summary: 5 Stars

The superb music of the Mormon Tabernacle Choir has been a tradition for many Americans for decades. This more recent of their Christmas releases makes apparent that this organization just seems to get better and better with the passage of time. I first came across the performance while it was being broadcast on TV and just couldn't take my eyes off of it till the after the closing credits. I was not familiar with Sissel before I heard this performance but I quickly became captivated by her singing and found myself wanting to learn more about her other work..

I note that a previous reviewer commented upon the style of the musical arrangements, offering the opinion that they demonstrated the "cleverness" of the arranger but detracted from the overall performance. Far from it, in my opinion! I believe that the beauty and freshness of the arrangements in this performance (and in the many other performances by the choir) just help make their music that much more special and inviting. Indeed, I found all key aspects of this production (music performance, music arrangements, photography, choreography and direction) to be outstanding. The Norwegian themes throughout the presentation added an unusual and beautiful dimension to this Christmas celebration.

Depending upon the audio quality of your DVD playback equipment, you may want to consider getting the companion CD "Spirit of the Season" as well. This contains the same musical offerings but in high quality stereo CD format (the CD doesn't contain the visual experience of course, which is a key part of the total performance). The quality of the musical selections is so high that there is ample justification for both versions in my opinion.

The recorded quality of the audio on the DVD is the same high quality as on the CD however (in fact the audio on the DVD has the added benefit of being recorded in "surround sound" if you have a DVD audio system capable of reproducing it) so if your DVD playback system is already connected to a high quality audio system (as some are), you probably won't need both versions.
