Review
Once again,
Madacy entertainment unveils the latest in its long line of economically sensible holiday records with entertainment provided over a three-disc session by the Vienna People's Symphony Orchestra, the Starlite Piano, and
Madacy 's in-house holiday group, the Starlite Vocal Ensemble (which is most definitely not to be confused with the '70s pop phenomenon Starland Vocal Band). The combination of beautiful symphonic arrangements, beautiful piano instrumentals with tasteful arrangements, and a supplementary vocal disc provides a lush soundtrack to any holiday event or simply background music on a quiet holiday morning or evening. ~ Rob Theakston, All Music Guide
