Editorial Reviews:

Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: You'll be Happy Comment: There is an earlier 1963 recording of the same material. This newer recording is by far superior. The 1963 recording has been remastered for "improved" sound and in the transformation the quiet parts got loud and the loud parts got shrill and distorted. Customer Rating: Summary: Many Moods - A Christmas Classic Comment: This classic Christmas recording contains well beloved carols in superb arrangements and flawless choral and orchestral performance under the great Robert Shaw. The sonics on this recording are far superior to the version by the US Air Force. Shaw has whip crack tempos and full throated singers. The other recording sounds as if the choir was recorded in a sound studio and then rudely stuck over the instrumental track. Customer Rating: Summary: World Class Comment: Robert Shaw with the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra and Chorus - what more do I need to say? I have attended several of the ASO's Christmas concerts. They are always impressive and enjoyable. So is this recording. It has stood the test of time and is still my Christmas favorite too. (The ASO is world class and has a string of Grammys to show for it.) Customer Rating: Summary: many moods...many pleasures Comment: music for christmas the way it should be. deftly conducted by robert shaw. the atlanta symphony and chorus perform perfectly with arrangements by robert russell bennett. to get into the true spirit of the season, this one is sure to bring delight to everyone who hears it. if you want jingle bells by the barking dogs...don't get this recording. this is for pure christmas enjoyees and for the faithful and for all us traditionalists. great buy. Customer Rating: Summary: A Christmas Classic! Comment: This is without doubt, one of the best, if not the best orchestral/choral Christmas recordings out there - recording quality is also superb. Highly recommend! More Reviews
