A Romantic Christmas

A beautiful Christmas cd! John Tesh, once again, leaves you feeling in such a relazed mood....and most certainly in the Christmas Spirit!! Tesh, who plays acoustic piano on this cd, is also accompanied by an Orchestra. It's mostly instrumental, but there are three songs with choristers (The Paulist Boy Choristers of California). A wonderful blend of traditional carols (The First Noel, O Holy Night, O Little Town of Bethlehem, O Come All Ye Faithful, etc.) After listening to this, you'll come to look upon every song as "Christmas music!" This cd really stirs the soul.

White Christmas

Try to forget the fact that Bing Crosby probably never had to record another song in his life after he immortalized "White Christmas." If you can do that, you'll find plenty more to like in this crooning Christmas collection. There's the Romantic Bing, charming the tinsel right off the tree with "The Christmas Song," and that cure for cabin fever, "Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!"

Time-Life Music: Treasury of
Christmas - Holiday Memories

This is a terrific cross section of seasonal sounds. What's attractive about this is it gathers a lot of classic singular performances in one place--a tad too much Bing Crosby, perhaps, but also the original hit versions of "Jingle Bell Rock," Eartha Kitt's "Santa Baby," Burl Ives's "Holly Jolly Christmas," and the Drifters' "White Christmas" (the blueprint for Elvis's version). --Bill Holdship.

The Christmas song [Extra Tracks]
[Original Recording Remastered)

Like Bing Crosby's "White Christmas," Nat Cole's "The Christmas Song" stands as one of two or three pillars of holiday music. This collection of songs and greetings includes another technologically induced daughter-father duet on Mel Torme's classic hit as well daddy Cole's 1961 version of the tune. Fans of both Natalie and her dad will put this on the top of their wish lists. Two previously unreleased tracks--"God Rest Ye Merry Gentleman" and "O Come All Ye Faithful"--will prompt a lot of lovers of Christmas music to fall in love again with Cole's incomparable style and timeless voice. --Martin Keller

The Andy Williams Christmas Album

This was one of the best-selling Christmas records of the 1960s, and with good cause! Somehow, without the fatherly image of Bing Crosby, or the svelte croon of Frank Sinatra or Tony Bennett, or even the reverent innocence of Perry Como, Andy Williams managed to make a holiday institution! This collection of Christmas songs is full of standards normally identified with other artists, but armed with an average tenor and lots of exuberance, Andy Williams made them his own. His "It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year" is the most exhilarating version of the song there is, and even his "White Christmas" and "O Holy Night" are more than just passable. --Steve Gdula
