christmas music


I'll go ahead and take some darts to mention christmas music this early in the year, but what are some of your favorite christmas albums? I can't necessarily speak for sonics with these choices, as I don't have a vinyl rig currently, but these sure take me back to listening to some LPs with my family as a child. I have to vote for the Elvis christmas album (as a friend once told me, "it's not christmas until elvis says so") and Andy Williams christmas LP. I am anxious to hear some of your choices. I just bought Josh Groban's christmas cd in anticipation of the holiday season.

I'm not a big fan of Christmas music but I'd have to say Sarah McLachlan's "Wintersong". It offers both sonics and musical enjoyment to please any audiophile.
Johnny Mathis for me hands down, I enjoy a little " Schlock " during the holidays.
Christmas Time is Gears,Art Bernstein and Chuck D'Aloia find it on line and buy it!I play it through the whole year.
"Rejoice! A string quartet Christmas" Vols 1-3 on John Marks Records, now out of print but available at Archiv or on Amazon.

Festival of Nine Lessons and Carols, Kings College Cambridge, on EMI I think.
