Nothing Better Than A Pops Holiday
The Boston Pops have always made orchestral music more appealing to a wider audience, and Arthur Fiedler was the genius behind that success.

Released in 1959, this album is full of everything from traditional selections from "The Nutcracker" to sing-along favorites like "White Christmas," "Rudolph" and "Santa Claus Is Comin' To Town" to the most famous recorded version of "Sleigh Ride," a Boston Pops classic.

This is the kind of CD you listen to while drinking egg nog beside a fireplace with family as you watch the snow fall in the early evening. My Grandparents had a copy of the original vinyl releae and I was so glad to see BMG release the original RCA/Victor "Living Stereo" edition complete with full liner notes and the original cover art.

The perfect album for your next holiday cocktail party appealing to classical and pop music fans alike.

Fantastic!
I don't remember why I got this CD, but this is great! I've looked and looked, and this really is one of the best Christmas CD's to own. The selections are all instrumental, ranging from classical Christmas to more modern Christmas music such as 'Sleigh Ride' and 'Santa Claus is Coming to Town'. The sound is crisp and clear, and the total running time of 72:37 neatly fills the CD. The latter section of the linear notes describe "The History of Living Stereo", which has been proceeded by notes telling various other things related to the album. Well worth the effort you put into looking for this copy. A great addition to your collection, seansonal, orchestral, Christmas Collections or favorites.

Fiedler and Christmas: Always a Great Match
For the people of Boston, Christmas music is synonymous with the Boston Pops, and its legendary conductor Arthur Fiedler. This compilation contains Pops classis arrangements including Leroy Anderson's medley of Christmas carols "A Christmas Festival. It also includes the Pops rendition of "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer," "Santa Claus is Coming to Town," and the authentic rendition of Anderson's "Sleigh Ride." It also includes Fiedler's interpretations of excerpts from THE NUTCRACKER, HANSEL AND GRETEL, and Leopold Mozart's "Sleigh Ride."

This is a re-release of an RCA Living Stereo recording. The collection has a nostalgic feel to it, and the cover, from an earlier Boston Pops recording, adds to the magic of this collection.
