Description
A richly curated Christmas CD that draws together some of the most beloved voices and ensembles of the mid-twentieth century. Mario Lanza brings his sweeping operatic tenor to ‘The First Noel’, while Perry Como’s warmly intimate reading of ‘Silent Night’ is everything that made him a holiday institution. Placido Domingo lends genuine grandeur to ‘A Mighty Fortress Is Our God’ alongside the Vienna Boys Choir, and Arthur Fiedler conducts the Boston Pops through a buoyant ‘Sleigh Ride’. With further contributions from Julie Andrews, Sergio Franchi, Ed Ames, and The Ames Brothers, this CD captures a golden era of seasonal recording with elegance and variety…
