This Christmas Aretha (List of All Editions)

HMV Review

The obvious title here would have been Wreatha Now, but Aretha opted to follow in the footsteps of at least 20 other artists by going with This Christmas as the title of her first Christmas album. Apart from the Donny Hathaway/Nadine McKinnor-written title track, a duet with her son Edward that is both sweet and playful (at one point, Aretha interjects, Eddie, you mustn't upstage mom with those high notes), the disc is filled mostly with the spiritual and relatively serious side of holiday material. The likes of Silent Night, Ave Maria, Hark! The Herald Angels Sing, and Angels We Have Heard on High are given the kind of treatment only Aretha could grant, though it should be noted that there are moments where you might feel stuck inside the Aretha Melismatorium. It's not all reverence and reflection: best of all is a reading of 'Twas the Night Before Christmas that can only be termed personalized. ~ Andy Kellman, Rovi

    2009年版。全体に特にクリスマス臭は無いのでフツーに気分良く聞けます。2曲目はあのD・HATHAWAYの曲ですが・・・。こうなりましたか。4曲目はR&Bそのものですが元はtraditional。60年代の雰囲気で私にはベスト・ワンです。「サイレント・ナイト」「アヴェ・マリア」5・6曲目がまともにクリスマスですが、アレンジはガッツリしまくりです。7曲目はギャンブル&ハフの名コンビ曲。これもフツーに聞けるR&Bになっています。他は超バラッドとゴスペル調とセリフのみのもの。途中「ピー音」がはいてました。ン?フツーにいつ聞いてもかなり出来はいいです。
