I have a bunch of Christmas music - Choral, Instrumental, Traditional, New Age, and Jazz. So much I felt I would never need another album but my wife is a great fan of the TV show and I ordered it for her. It is better than I thought it would be, pleasantly surprised. The recording quality us excellent, the arrangements lush and the selections very traditional. I think they captured the essence of the period perfectly.

2 high quality CDs in a 3-panel fold-out case. Packaging and music are impressive - not virtuosic but true to the time. Everything you would expect.

The three stars are for the lovely professional choirs on this CD - namely Kings College Cambridge, Taverner Choir, etc... There are also songs performed by the actors of Downton Abbey themselves which I wasn't expecting and I found those to be hard to listen to. The "Downton Christmas Suites" are merely the theme music to the television series which is fine, but jerks you out of the Christmas mood. You can find most of these carols sung by beautiful choirs on many Christmas albums out there, however there are one or two on this compilation not often recorded, so overall a nice collection with many "hits" and a few "misses".
Got this for my wife, she loved it

Beautiful music from the TV Series Downton Abbey. Very good, old English Christmas carols too.
