Twenty years after her landmark Watermark album, Enya's seventh studio disc, And Winter Came continues a phenomenally successful career that has included more than 70 million albums sold worldwide. And Winter Came is an enchanting evocation of the changing landscape of winter as well as the festive cheer of the holidays. One of the most successful female artists of all-time, and second only to U2 as the biggest selling Irish artist in history, Enya brings her beguiling and ethereal music to bear on the darkest and yet most hopeful season with And Winter Came.

 Splendid! January 9, 2009
Nana2Syl (Naples, FL USA)
I requested that Santa bring this CD to me for Christmas. I love it. I could listen to it over and over. Enya's got a lovely and soothing voice. Brilliant arrangement. Five Stars Definitely!
Exquisite and unique holiday music January 8, 2009
Karina A. Suarez (Walt Disney World, USA)
Like most people who enjoy good New Age music, I have heard of Enya before and have listened to her ethereal melodies since her hit "Sail away (Orinoco flow)". This, however, is the first CD I've purchased from her and it will most definitely not be the last. Along with "And Winter came...", I purchase two other holiday music CD's - those of Sarah Brightman ("A Winter Symphony") and Loreena McKennitt ("A midwinter's night dream"), and I must say Enya's is my favorite one. Perhaps because she has been able to pull out of her creativity for the special holiday season while being true to her style, the CD impresses even more. Even if one is not a musician, one can still perceive the technique behind this work.
"And Winter came..." introduces this musical experience with a piece without lyrics, just tranquil "white" music. Songs that I find outstanding are the self-created "White is in the winter night", an up-tempo song that simply invites singing along its tune. "Trains and winter rains" reminds me of the dark, gloomy days of London in winter. One excellent piece I have found in the march-along "One toy soldier", a song that tells the tale of a sad toy until it finally finds happiness with the child that it is given to. Another great melody, almost inspired by the music of the Beatles (who are mentioned in the lyrics), is "My! My! Time flies!", a small history of the world in three minutes or less. The album closes with a chorale version of "Silent Night" as "Oiche Chiuin".
As her website, and that of Nick and Roma Ryan, indicates, Enya's unique gift for music has also been accompanied by arduous study and unique awards. This is not surprising, as she has managed to create a sound within the New Age category that is unparalleled. The white horse and the exquisite white dress in the cover of the album, as well as the rest of the photography by Simon Fowler complete the beautiful holiday project, one I will keep listening to for years to come. After all, it "could be 2010" very soon.
Enya Brings Beautiful Music to All January 8, 2009

I vowed not to purchase another Christmas CD but I couldn't not purchased this beautiful music by Enya. She has a wonderful voice and I this is something I will listen to all year round.
A Soothing Stress-Buster January 7, 2009
GracieM (Montana Mountains)
Again, Enya proves she is an outstanding and versatile artist with this compilation of relaxing "winter" tunes. It would be enjoyable any time of year, not just during the Holiday season. I would highly recommend this CD to anyone who enjoys Enya's music, and would encourage new listeners to add this to their music collection!
