Album Notes

Anthony DeLallo - The Gift Of Christmas

The incredible voice of 16-year-old Anthony DeLallo will captivate you as you listen to The Gift Of Christmas. It is so extraordinary that it brings back memories of other young prodigies such as Josh Groban and Charlotte Church. The purity and emotion with which he sings these beautiful Christmas songs is truly moving. When Anthony told the owner of the studio, Randy Wills, that he wanted to record this CD, Randy felt compelled to write original arrangements and orchestrations for the project. Timeless classics such as O Holy Night, What Child Is This?, Silent Night, Away In A Manger and Ave Maria are given new life by young Anthony\'s voice. Angels We Have Heard On High, Do You Hear What I Hear?, Mary\'s Boy Child, One Small Child and The First Noel all have beautiful contemporary arrangements that add diversity to the CD. Anthony and Stephanie Lange join voices for Jesu\' Joy Of Man\'s Desiring, the album\'s solitary duet. The Virgin\'s Son is an original song that will have you contemplating those first few tender moments that Jesus spent with his mother that first Christmas morning. This CD captures the peace and joy of Christmas in a way few albums have and reminds the listener that God has sent His most precious gift to us -- His son -- to bring us home. Anthony invites you to share The Gift Of Christmas with him this year and wishes you and yours a joyous Christmas.
