Condition: New

Product DescriptionA new sound for the season. Christmas Eve, the debut Lava/Atlantic release from the New York City based Trans-Siberian Orchestra, joins top talent from the hard rock world with those from the Broadway musical and classical arenas - effectively combining the impact of a 60-piece orchestra and a full chorus with the edge of a rock band.Certified Platinum by the RIAA. (10/01)Amazon.comIs the Trans-Siberian Orchestra's Christmas Eve and Other Stories a holiday rock opera? Or perhaps just a holiday prog-rock disc? Or maybe it's New Age? Whatever the case may be, this isn't your typical Christmas album. Filled with electric guitar solos, plenty of synthesized keyboards, a children's choir, and lively drumming, Christmas Eve can only be compared to one other record, the Trans-Siberian Orchestra's other holiday disc, The Christmas Attic. On this CD, angelic vocal solos (on numbers such as "The Prince of Peace") are interspersed with driving instrumentals. Sentimental, occasionally bombastic, but as high-concept as holiday albums can be. --Jason Verlinde
