Julie Andrews represents my favorite traditional Christmas voice. The orchestral arrangements here are a perfect compliment to her vocals. For me this album, combined with "Christmas with Julie Andrews" (her very BEST Christmas album) provides the most beautiful carols of the Christmas season. This particular album also includes 3 memorable songs from movie musicals, as an added surprise...very enjoyable,however, out of sync with the holiday genre' , which, is the only reasonthat I didn't give this CD a 5 star rating.
