The Lost Christmas Eve by Trans-Siberian Orchestra Lava

Product Description: If you're looking for something out of the ordinary for the season, The Lost Christmas Eve is for you. This final entry in the Trans-Siberian Orchestra's rock opera trilogy is perhaps their most ambitious and complex in the series. Like its predecessors, The Lost Christmas Eve tells the story of heaven's youngest angel called back to earth to continue Jesus' unfinished work. This time he lands in New York City to help redeem not only Christmas, but the soul of humankind itself with a story line that rivals anything Frank Capra ever dreamt up for the big screen. Conceived and composed by Aerosmith and Savatage producer Paul O'Neill, most of the song were penned O'Neill, Robert Kinkle, and Savatage founder and keyboardist Jon Oliva, and features the rest of the seminal Florida metal band on the record. While not as bombastic as Savatage's fourteen rock epics which touch on topics as diverse as the Russian Revolution, the 15th century explorer Ferdinand Magellan's descendants, and Beethoven's last night, the record still has a grandiose, almost over-arching baroque feel, with its prog-rock organ swells and electronic alchemy. The best moments are during the soaring instrumentals, on tracks like the "Wisdom of Snow," "Wish Litz," "Christmas Bells, Carousels & Time," and the majestic rendering of "O Come All Ye Faithful." --Jaan Uhelszki

Customer Reviews

5 stars The Lost Christmas Eve-C.D. !
This Is A Totally Awesome CD ! This CD Is Worth The Price Just For The Song " Christmas Canon Rock " ! I Just Got The CD And I Haven't Heard A Bad Track Yet-Only Great Tracks So Far !

4 stars All good stuff for Christmas, but a bit samey
The Trans Siberian Orchestra have become a Christmas Tradition themselves, providing a welcome alternative to the typical seasonal diet of organ music, choirs and crooners.
Their latest offering is typical of their mix of skilful guitar, blues and classical music.
This mix has been tried by other bands but none have delivered the panache and sheer musicianship of TSO.
However, the lost Christmas Eve has not innovated enough and the formula is feeling a little worn out. Some tracks are even taken from previous albums.
It is still worth buying and if you have never listened to the Trans Siberian Orchestra, I suggest you do.
And on Christmas Day, put this album on the stereo in the background. It'll drive the grandparents nuts.

5 stars Not for everyone ... but it should be!
The music on this CD is superb. I will now buy the trilogy of which this is the third CD. It is very good rock!!!

The band played on and on,
With no one looking at their watch,
And just when you thought it couldn't get any better,
They would turn it up a notch.

5 stars The best of Christmas
TSO is the best Christmas concert ever! If you can't be there, you must get the CD.

5 stars Energetic, talented orchestra with vocal performances too!
We've seen TSO in concert & loved them so we buy their videos as they're released. It's fun having dinner guests over during the holidays & then watching a video or two. No one goes home disappointed!
