Koledy - Polish Christmas Carols

Most Beautiful Soul Touching Memories of Poland/ Angry at Uninformed Negative Review I would respectfully like to address the review stating that this was "the worst album ever", etc. First of all, I am a VERY proud Polish-American woman who came to the States in 1982; my father a doctor and mother a nurse; wanting to escape the stranglehold of Communism, they decided to escape as Polish refugees first to Austria and then accepted on a waiting list to America, we came here; I was around seven. My father's doctor friend in the old country, who is now director of a major hospital in Wroclaw, was locked up by the Communists during martial law as he was against their regime. So the bottom line is this...the Communists may have taken away Poles' freedom, food, etc. back then, but the people NEVER let them take away their Christian faith and traditions! So this choir and the BEAUTIFUL, tear jerking carols/lyrics is not only lovely but a symbol to all Poles who fought for freedom, and will forever fight for freedom. So I again respectfully disagree with the negative review, and would like to add also that you need to listen to the words, which can move one to tears at times; I admit, you are missing out on this audio experience if you are not fluent in Polish. "Hush Little Jesus", aka "Lulaj Ze Jezuniu", is my favorite since I was 3, and ALWAYS makes me cry. So PLEASE don't listen to any negative reviews, as whomever wrote them obviously is out of touch about the deep meanings behind this choir and the Christmas music it presents. I agree though, DON'T buy the album with 'ornaments', I got the MP3 download! Merry Christmas to all! Rating: 5 (J. Roman, 2009-12-18) Koledy - Polish Christmas Carols customer review

Nice gift Bought this for ourselves & also as a gift. If you are Polish or a fan of Polish things, it is a nice gift. A little on the expensive side, though. Rating: 5 (LibLady, 2009-02-28) Koledy - Polish Christmas Carols customer review

Polish ornaments and music The product is packaged well. As per the other review, the CD songs are all symphonic choir music. Songs are very professionally arranged but somberly sung and indistinct. The ornaments are very delicate, made from straw, and are not suited for tree decoration. For the price, I expected a little more.

The worst Chirstmas Gift Ever Stay away from this gift. I bought it on the recommendation of the reviewer above. I gave it to my mother who also has Polish heritage. She thought it was awful. The music was dull and repetitive. The voices on the recording are all female and each track sounds pretty much the same. The "ornaments" were not only a disappointment, they were an embarrassment. Polish Christmas ornaments are often made of fine blown glass or wood and hand painted. Not these. They are little straw concoctions that appear to have been thrown together by a dullard farmer sitting on a hay bale with nothing better to do. I was so embarrassed once I saw the contents of this gift. I did not realize there are little photos of the "ornaments" when I bought this but if I had I would have steered clear. This is an awful waste of your money and for $30 it is a swindle. Rating: 1 (Onyx Parrot, 2008-12-16) Koledy - Polish Christmas Carols customer review
