Season's Greetings: 20th Century Masters/The Millennium Collection
: :Given this box set's grandiose title and three discs' worth of chestnuts roasting, songs about silent nights, and ho, ho, ho, you'd expect--if you're serious about Christmas music--a little bit more than what's actually here. The Millennium Collection is heavily saturated with classics you probably have, and if you're a baby boomer, chances are you will already possess many of the R&B tracks from the Motown era and some of the random, more contemporary songs by Angela Winbush, Aaron Neville, and Boyz II Men.

Bach: Weihnachts-Oratorium/Larsson, von Magnus, Prégardien, Martens, Koopman
: :When this recording was released in 1996, the words most often used to describe it were 'luminous' and 'radiant.' The adjectives fit: the choir and orchestra have a glowing sound that makes the chorales in particular wondrous to hear. The most extroverted choruses and arias lack the extra measure of vigorous excitement of John Eliot Gardiner's performance, but Koopman's tender approach is beguiling.
