David Benoit, 40th Year Anniversary Charlie Brown Christmas (Monster Music High Definition Surround Sound CD SUPERDISC)
by: David Benoit, Various Artists

Editorial Review:

Celebrate the 40th Anniversary of A Charlie Brown Christmas with David Benoit's reprisal of the original Christmas classic. We are presenting two unique mixes in High Definition Surround Sound: The "Orchestral" mix is engineered to recreate the experience of being in a Concert Hall. The mix is lush and reverberating. It resembles the natural acoustics of a beautiful theater with a large, expansive sound. The "In The Room" mix is more intimate allowing you "inside" the music. You hear the instruments all around you. "When I heard the "In The Room" Monster mix," Says Benoit, "I felt like I was right there with the band, right at the rehearsal, like we were just rehearsing in our living room. There's the drummer and bass player here, the piano right in the middle, and I'm just part of this and it was just like it was happening in real time." This SuperDisc also includes the original stereo recording for your CD player.

A welcome addition to our Christmas Festivities:

After reading the other reviews for this box-set I decided to jot down my own opinions of this product and hopefully clear the air.
This collectors set is a tin box with three separate albums:
* A Charlie Brown Christmas - Soundtrack to the CBS Special
* Charlie Brown's Holiday Hits - A myriad collection of Vince Guaraldi Trio from the various TV specials including "It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown", "A Charlie Brown Christmas", "You're Not Elected Charlie Brown" and "A Boy Named... more info

This HD CD which really works fine. Even the MP3's and AAC's are high quality files.

THE SOUND IS WONDEROUS -- THE SOUNDS ARE SPURIOUS:

I FIND AGREEMENT WITH SOME OF THE COMMENTS OF THE EARLIER REVIEWERS IN THAT A RE-DO OF THE CLASSIC PEANUTS SCORE (WHICH WAS FANTASTIC AND ALSO AVAILABLE AS A MONSTER DISC) WAS NOT ONE OF RECORDED MUSICS GREATEST NEEDS. ALSO, THE VOCALS BY MS. WILLIAMS AND MS. KHAN ARE SADLY PATHETIC AND COULD BE READILY SHAMED BY ANY OF THE KIDS IN THE HIGH SCHOOL CHOIR. MS. BRAXTON'S EFFORT COULD EASILY BE THE MOST HIDEOUS NOISE I HAVE EVER HEARD. AS I WAS PLAYING THE DISC SOMEWHAT LOUDLY TO APPRECIATE THE SPECTACULAR... more info

I'll second the motion...:

...and I haven't even bought this CD. I got the email today from Amazon advertising it, and my first reaction (because the original CD soundtrack from Guaraldi is the GREATEST CHRISTMAS ALBUM OF ALL TIME) was that I'd give it a try. I mean, come on, surround sound? How cool is that? Little did I know, before reading the previous review, that it was a whole new album/arrangement of all the songs. Horendous indeed!!!! Now, if they had simply taken the original tracks and put them in surround, maybe improved... more info
