The album, produced by Walter Afansieff, who co-produced Barbra Streisand's latest hit album (and several others in the past) and many of Celine Dion and Mariah Carey's 1990's hits, features a nice mix of secular holiday songs, a couple of religious ones, and a few covers of songs that aren't necessarily holiday-themed but fit in nicely. The arrangements are quite good in general. A few, as is typical of anything Afansieff is involved with, can get overly produced and saccharine, but Idina's amazing iconic voice is fortunately never fighting to be heard over them. (A testament not only to her talent, but also the sound mixers on this CD, who didn't allow her to be drowned out by the production.) Arrangements range from contemporary pop ballad styles such as "The Christmas Song" that would feel at home on Celine Dion's Christmas album from 1998 to more classic and timeless arrangements such as "All I Want For Christmas Is You" and "December Prayer," the album's sole original, co-written by Idina.
Idina Menzel could sing the phone book and it would be breathtaking, so rest assured that your favorite holiday tunes get beautiful renditions. My only critique is that the productions are somewhat blasé. I understand that the vocals are the highlight of the show and a simple piano backdrop highlights them even more, but I would still prefer more impressive music to accompany that voice. Amy Grant and Sandi Patty's holiday albums have stood the test of time because the music is as festive and immersive as their vocals. This album feels like it could have been completed in a weekend, with or without a rehearsal. Nonetheless, 'Holiday Wishes' will probably be my favorite Christmas album this year and I do highly recommend it.
