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 Uhelszki2) Album Description
Trans-Siberian Orchestra (TSO) is back with third and final volume of their Christmas trilogy, The Lost Christmas. The long awaited follow up to the double platinum "The Christmas Attic," features their trademark symphonic rock," which fuses elements of hard rock, Broadway, R&B, and classical music into a unique and distinctive blend of original compositions, symphony excerpts and holiday standards.

1) TSO gives you a twist one Christmas [Rating: 5 out of 5]
The first time I listened to a friend's TSO Christmas album, I thought "What is all this guitar and loudness...for Christmas?" A couple years later, we heard Wizards of Winter on-line, along with a viewing of some timed lighting - I was shocked to find out the awesome song was TSO! We bought the album and have loved TSO ever since! If you ever get a chance to go to a concert...GO...we went this last Christmas and loved it, even from the nosebleeds!2) A different take on Christmas songs [Rating: 3 out of 5]
This is an entirely different take on some classic Christmas songs, and several not so well known ones. Some of them are really great but others are incredibly bad. When they stick to performing just music it can be very rewarding. The vocal songs however are strange and not very appealing3) TSO-The Lost Christmas Eve [Rating: 5 out of 5]
Great and unique sound! TSO's album should be in everyones Christmas music collection. "Christmas Canon Rock" is a classic!!!4) The Lost Christmas Eve [Rating: 5 out of 5]
This CD is incredible as is their other works. The Wizards in Winter is phenomenol. Recommend purchasing this CD and any CD by this ensemble. Also suggest seeing their concerts. You are in for a treat.5) not what i ordered [Rating: 1 out of 5]
the cd i received had 23 songs on it, not the 20 on the one i ordered and it did not have the carol of the bells. my guess is it is not the one i ordered so i am not happy and probably wont spend my money at amazon again!Charles
