Description
Christmas Memories is a warmly curated holiday CD bringing together some of the most beloved voices of the mid-twentieth century in a collection of timeless seasonal favourites. Harry Belafonte’s calypso-inflected ‘Mary’s Boy Child’ and Jose Feliciano’s quietly soulful ‘Silent Night’ — one of the most distinctive Christmas recordings ever made — sit comfortably alongside Perry Como’s devotional ‘Ave Maria’ and Kate Smith’s full-voiced opener, ‘It’s Beginning To Look A Lot Like Christmas.’ The CD closes with Sergio Franchi’s operatic reading of ‘The Lord’s Prayer,’ lending the programme a genuinely moving finale. Spanning pop, folk, and sacred traditions, this is a richly varied Christmas collection that captures a golden era of American vocal performance…
A gorgeous treasury of popular and traditional holiday favorites!
