I have given this album 4 stars, because my expectations were probably other than the many who have this album rated worse. My desire for a beautiful Christmas CD was met fully. I can not and will not judge Diana Krall, as I do not know much about the genre, but a nice, slightly different Christmas CD this is all as a jazz performer. Best to sit down on the sofa and enjoy the Christmas spirit. And who still has between Frank Sinatra, Bing Crosby and various tenors place in his collection will be well served with this Silberling. He has yet many well-known carols in unconventional and clever versions. Conclusion: Best suited for home use and as a Christmassy mood maker.
