Home for Christmas
At Smarter.com, we aim to ensure we give you the most sound buying advice possible. With our 'Cumulative Product Rating' system, in order for a product to receive a rating score, it must have a minimum number of ratings to qualify.
This system is not intended to diminish the value of products with a low number of ratings and reviews, they're great, and hopefully very helpful, but if you want our advice, we want to make sure that the product you're thinking of buying has been rated and reviewed by enough shoppers like you to be a valuable indicator of product quality.

Musically interesting Christmas alternative
I've been in charge of holiday music for the extended family for the last decade or so, and I generally buy a half-dozen or so CDs every year from a wide range of genres. This is perhaps my favorite of them all. It manages the almost impossible...

Koppangen
Like another reviewer, I bought the CD solely for one song, Koppangen, which I had heard on a flight, and listened to over and over and over throughout the flight. It's a song that greatly moves me: the melody and interpretation. And yes I'd say...

Something different -- provacative, but very enjoyable
Home for Christmas is not your run-of-the-mill "listen to me, I'm an opera singer lavishing my gorgeous voice on these pretty Christmas songs" recording. Anne Sofie von Otter's fans have long-since learned to expect the unexpected from this...

Great Christmas album
I have never been one to buy much Christmas music -- why bother when for the month of December I can hear the stuff everywhere I go whether I want to or not. So, it's a real treat to find a disc like this one that I just want to listen to over...

For Koppangen only
I bought this cd because one song.... the track 1, Koppangen (swedish version in track 21). For me the other tracks seem to be only fillers. And in fact now whenever I play this disc I only listen to track 1, sorry for that. So it's hard to...

Best Christmas CD in existence
There are not enough stars to rate this incredible compilation of Christmas songs. The lead off song "Koppangen" is the most beautiful Christmas song that I have ever heard. She sets the wintery scene perfectly, better than any version I know...

Retraction of earlier review
Well, I gave this CD another listen this year, and I have to say that my criticism from last year was overly harsh. I'm still not completely enthralled with it, but it 's nowhere nearly as bad as I said it was. Having said that, I still think...

I only listen to track No. 1, 10 and 21.
Both version of Koppangen (English and Swedish) alone with Bred Dina Vida Vingar will make you want to keep this album forever. The other arrangements, as I call them, do not sound as authentically as they should do for classical fans. Above all,...

"Home for Christmas" is a Rare Gift
Van Otter's "Home for Christmas" is simply marvelous. I read a rave review in Opera News and went out to buy the CD. (I didn't want to wait a few days for Amazon.com to get it to me.)It was sold out at one Tower Records shop in NYC and at the...
