Still, I especially enjoyed "Oriel Window" - it's a piano recital on par or maybe even better than all her wonderful piano pieces released in her previous albums, such as "Watermark" and "From Where I Am". The last track doesn't meet up to the former's standard, nonetheless it has the haunting magic that made Enya a success from producing "Watermark".

If you're an avid Enya fan (like me), I don't think you should miss this out from your collection of records. However, if you've never heard her music, I advise you not to purchase this yet as it would give you a "gimmicky" impression of this new-age diva. Get her other CDs and get in the swing of her music first, then see how you'd react to her own style of musical composition in a classic Christmas carol.

You cannot beat having Silent Night in another language.I love hearing different language interpretations of holiday favourites. Makes things more... multicultural and festive. No one better to bring us Silent Night in Irish than the incomparable Enya who delivers a otherworldly, if not heavenly, version of Silent Night. Something you must have for your Christmas music collections!

This is one of the most beautiful songs I have ever heard...brought tears to my eyes when I heard it. Christmas is not compete without it. Don't listen to those who say it is dull listening to 'Silent Night' in another langauge! Listening to Enya singing it is like listening to the angels themselves...Need I say more?

Silent Night is indescribably beautiful. It brings tears to my eyes every time I play it. Vintage Enya chord progressions and key changes. Fluid, romantic, sensual, contlemplative . . . .Heaven for your head.

Oh, how I long for an entire Christmas Holiday CD from this artist!


A breathtaking recording!   January 31, 2000

This is the most beautiful Christmas song ever recorded--don't listen to those who say it's dull! It transports you to the atmosphere of an ancient, silent, holy place, and the vocals are stunning--breathy and full. It either gives me goose bumps, takes my breath away, or makes me cry, depending on my mood. Don't miss it!
