EssenceStory Well Deserved Praise

InformationRap This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

Deanna There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.

Gary The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.

jdix-2 A great way to spend 45 minutes enjoying a most unique and moving collage of Christmas music performed like none other. This all too short collection of Christmas music surrounds moves heart and soul and reminds everyone what Christmas is all about. Allie Sheridan as the Runaway, whose eyes and smiles takes takes us back to our childhood dreams and Ossie Davis as The Caretaker shows us that anything is possible. TSO brings it all together and leaves the viewer wanting more. Do yourself, your friends and family a favor; turn off the cells, kick back, crank up the volume and dim the lights. As a gift, your friends will treasure it for a long time. This is on the shelf along side with Wizard of Oz, A Christmas Carol, and Miracle on 24th St.

wzzzrd-1 This is a fantastic video that will get anyone into the Christmas Spirit. The TSO offers a great take on Christmas music and stories. Ossie Davis as the caretaker once again demonstrates the wide range of acting he possesses. Seeing them in concert was one of the most amazing shows I've seen. From the real snow that fell in the concert hall to the lights and lasers that filled the room. The voices of the performers were fantastic and the music mesmerizing. TSO third Christmas Album - The Lost Christmas Eve, is full of the same enchanting music and a heart felt Christmas story. If you enjoy the music of their first two Christmas albums, get the third and get ready for next Christmas.

CptPtnia For those unfamiliar with the works of the Trans-Siberian Orchestra, this video will give merely a glimpse into their musical genius. This band evolved from a heavy-metal band from the mid-80's called Savatage. As they grew musically, they began to incorporate classical music into their work, ranging from Mozart to Mussgorsky to Beethoven. The Trans-Siberian Orchestra was a side project conceived originally to perform Christmas music, blending traditional and new compositions with a group of highly talented musicians.This video is just a touch of what they are. Many "guest" performers, such as Michael Crawford and Jewel appear in the video. Watching this video will hopefully give one a desire to look further into the band. These wonderful artists have woven 3 albums together (2 Christmas, and one not) of intricate story-telling, poetry, and, of course, wonderful music.If you do enjoy what you see and hear, do yourself a favor. Next Christmas, look for their live performance to come to a city near you, and buy a ticket. It is a musical spectacle you will thank yourself for. I have been a Savatage fan for many years, and have now seen TSO play live 3 years in a row. WOW. The collection of musicians, mostly unknowns, is unrivaled. The compositions are wonderful, the performances even more so. Worth every penny.As a side note, TSO's single non-Christmas release, "Beethoven's Last Night", is one of the best albums I have ever heard. Released nearly 2 years ago, I rarely go as much as a week without listening to it.

Masticore317 Simply the greatest Christmas special ever made. The Trans-Siberian Orchestra are musical geniuses!!! This is GREAT!!!
