White Christmas

CD-Charts > Music > Todays Deals
by: Bing Crosby

Release Date June 01, 1995
You can never go wrong with Bing. Better even than Sinatra in my opinion.

This is one of my favorite Christmas albums. Bing's voice is so rich and warm, it can't help but put you in the mood for the holidays.

A Christmas Festival

CD-Charts > Music > Todays Deals
by: Boston Pops, Arthur Fiedler

Release Date October 25, 1990
This album was released on compact disc in October of 1990 but it was released on vinyl records sometime between 1969 to 1972. I grew up listening to it most years until I started on my own path. Of course in my younger days the appreciation for Christmas orchestra music was not there. Only rediscovered it on amazon.com in 1994. It's great to play low as background music on Christmas day while opening gifts or while friends and relatives are talking about. The music has a whimsical flare which really brings out the Christmas spirit. Highly recommended for initiating cheer and maintaining calm in the household.

Simply the best! It's not Christmas for me until I've heard this CD. Superb arrangements, especially on "Kay Thompson's Jingle Bells" and "It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year." The medley of "Happy Holiday/It's the Holiday Season" will have you in the Christmas spirit in no time flat. Buy this album today.

Handel's Messiah: A Soulful Celebration

CD-Charts > Music > Todays Deals
by: Dianne Reeves, Patti Austin, Stevie Wonder, George Duke, Take 6, Al Jarreau

Release Date September 29, 1992
Quincy Jones already rocks my world. I have nothing but respect for him and the level of musical excellence that has always surrounded anything he put his considerable mind and talent to. But this re-imagining of Handel's Messiah from an African-American perspective is exceptional, extraordinary, unabated joy--especially in "And He Shall Purify" and "Hallelujah!" I am a middle-aged white musician/pianist/voice teacher in New York City. I got my Master's at Indiana University in voice. I was raised a Southern-Baptist even! I only offer up this information to suggest what an unlikely candidate I might be to enjoy this CD. I can't stop smiling and moving with these extraordinary performances when I put this CD on. God bless Michael O. Jackson ... Read More:

This is a terrific collection of Christmas music with the twist of a brass ensemble. I have used it to mix up a collection, and it really adds variety to the mix. Very well done.
