 Quality Christmas Entertainment December 3, 2008
This is as much Old World charm as you can fit into your living room! The rustic setting with exposed wood beams and hay, the simple manger scene,the rosy glow from the flickering candles,and the relaxed and enthusiastic small audience all lend this video warmth and authenticity. As always, Rieu's musical performance is impeccable, and his orchestra is spirited and entertaining. His vivid memories of his own childhood Christmases are touching. Although this isn't a new release, I'd recommend it as a terrific holiday gift. It has the look and feel of a real and reverent celebration.
Good Christmas Special August 18, 2008

This DVD features music that was also heard on the CD "The Christmas I Love" It was also featured on a different Christmas Special done a few years ago, also shown on PBS. The selections are all beautifully played, as you might expect from Andre Rieu and the orchestra. I thought it was interesting how far they went with the theme, even to the point of turning
a chuch into a european version of a Nativity Scene with candle lit Christmas trees all around, and the torches, and all the hay the fire marshall must have been a little more than nervous. When you watch this DVD Andre Rieu shares his memeories of the Christmas Holidays as a youth.
This adds to the warmth and charm of the perfomances. Highly recommended.
 Typical Andre Rieu November 28, 2007

As always, artistically satisfying performance with good technical quality. The selections were appropriate for the season, pretty much what I expected. Compared to some more recent performances, it seemed a bit short. Most of his more recent performances are longer. I believe this was made in an earlier era when Andre did not have many soloists, so this would account for the fact that there were no solos in the performance.
The setting was quite appropriate for the season.
Unfair view of Christmas October 5, 2007

I loved this DVD and the music and setting was just wonderful. However i feel that people who produce this sort of thing should consider us Aussies. We didn't see any wide brown land, massive sun in a hot summer sky that is nearly navy blue in colour; as it is here in Australia at Christmas time. A hot dusty scene would have been appreciated; with abundant eucalipts and brown drought seared grass.
Christmas here means wearing hardly any clothes, going swimming; eating seafood, drinking very cold drinks; as the temperature is usualy around the 35 - 40 deg C mark and i think people should consider this when making a DVD of this type.

All my family enjoy Christmas and our home is known as the Christmas House in the small community we live in. Having the ability to share with others per medium of our large 3.5m screen will become a highlight for many years to come. Andre Rieu brings pleasue to all who see or hear his music and the joy of members of his orchestra is apparearnt.
