These Are Special Times专辑介绍
当今乐坛超级人气流行天后Celine Dion，她的专辑作品在过去的30个月内，便已在全球创造了六千万张的惊人销售纪录，也就是说，相当于每1.2秒钟便有一张Celine的专辑销售出去。由此証明了Celine在全球乐迷心目中受欢迎的程度，以及其异乎寻常的完美歌唱实力，早已是无庸置疑了！ 　　

在此为Celine Dion音乐生涯开启新扉页、独树一格的首张贺岁专辑中，除了延续Celine与David Foster，Ric Wake等天王製作人的黄金组合阵容外，更邀来乐坛当红的男歌手R. Kelly特别与她对唱了首支单曲「I’m Your Angel」，以及与义大利盲人男高音Andrea Bocelli（与Sarah Brightman对唱「Time To Say Goodbye」而声名大噪）对唱「The Prayer」两首新歌。此外，Celine的加拿大巨星同袍Bryan Adams，亦再度加入编製为她量身打造了「Another Year Has Gone By」这首动人的抒情曲，并亲自参与合音。

当然，专辑中亦不能免俗地重新诠释了「Ave Maria」等经典名曲，以及「Blue Christmas」「The Christmas Song」…标准圣诞曲，再加上Celine动用全体家人，一同展露家族共有的演唱天份的「Feliz Navidad」，以及她初次展露深藏已久的创作才华、与Ric Wake共谱词曲的「Don’t Save It All For Christmas Day」。

In the wake of her Titanic success, Celine Dion produced two new albums for the holiday season of 1998. One was a new French album, and the other was These Are Special Times, her first Christmas album. These Are Special Times is an especially successful holiday album since Dion wisely balances popular carols ("The Christmas Song," "Blue Christmas," "Feliz Navidad") with new songs ("Don't Save It All for Christmas," the R. Kelly duet "I'm Your Angel"), hymns ("Ave Maria," "Adeste Fidelis"), and Christmas songs with a distinct religious theme ("O Holy Night," the Andrea Bocelli duet "The Prayer"). At times, the production is too slick, at other times Dion's vocals are a little mannered, but overall, These Are Special Times is very effective, because the songs are good and she's committed to the material. Any fan of Dion, or of '90s adult contemporary pop in general, should find this very enjoyable.
