Review

O Come All Ye Faithful delivers just what the title promises, collecting traditional carols and holiday songs from across Europe. French carols like "The Holly and the Ivy," "Masters in This Hall," and "Bring a Torch, Jeanette, Isabella"; German carols like "In Dulci Jubilo" and "Lo, How a Rose E'er Blooming"; and the Spanish carol "Fum, Fum, Fum" are mixed with favorites like "Silent Night," "Coventry Carol," "Joy to the World," and "Good King Wenceslas" for authentic caroling fun. ~ Heather Phares, All Music Guide
