One of the Best!

I have the original Christmas LP with the Mormon Tabernacle Choir and New York Philharmonic. This is a great album and it's nice to have it on CD without the scratches and hiss from the LP. I will enjoy this music for a long time to come. My favorites on the album include the stirring "Joy to the World," "Once in Royal David's City," and of course, "Silent Night." The Mormon Tabernacle Choir always sings with such spirit, whether peaceful or exuberant, sacred or secular.

There are a handful of teriffic tunes on this album but for me, by far, the best is 'carol of the bells'... its the version I grew up on listening to on my grandmother's record set every year and to finally have it on CD really makes the holidays even more festive each year!

great christmas album

if you are a fan of traditional christmas chorale music, this is about as good as it gets
