Album Description
Founded by Alfred Burt’s daughter Diane, The Caroling Company makes everyday Christmas! This highly in-demand eight-voice a cappella ensemble has had numerous television appearances including ABC’s "GOOD MORNING AMERICA" and "THE HOME SHOW" and will appear later this year in the Brian Setzer Big Band Christmas CD. With a reputation for excellence and creative arrangements of traditional favorites and jazz standards, they have an enthusiastic following and possess that indescribable quality that identifies them as THE CAROLING COMPANY.

A Christmas Present From The Caroling Company
A Christmas Present From The Caroling Company is a classic collection of songs featuring 8 Alfred Burt carols. The arrangements and performances are simply outstanding. This recording will become a collectors item and will be enjoyed by all who love Christmas music. The A capella performances by the Caroling Company are second to none. Enjoy!!! Howard Weiss
Put This In Your Stocking for Christmas!l
This CD is jam-packed with so many gorgeous arrangements of traditional carols that it will appeal to all who listen. The Burt Carols are fresh and sung in the original style: a cappella! The fact that the composer's daughter is one of the members makes these close harmony arrangements even more special, especially for such a small group of singers. I highly recommend this recording for everyone, especially fans of the Burt Carols! Wait til you hear their rendition of Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas and Silent Night. It will give you goosebumps.
I love the music, but hate this performance
I've been a fan of the Burt carols for years, so when I saw this recording, I ordered it immediately. Boy was I disappointed. The performance is in tune and the ensemble is rhythmically tight. However, the music is so stiff that I can't stand to listen to it. This is one of the most unmusical performances of the Burt Carols I have ever heard. The original 1954 Columbia recording has slow tempos, but still more musical. The best recording I have found remains the one with orchestrations added by Lex de Azevedo (album is called CAROLING, CAROLING and published by DeseretBook). His CD keeps the original carols and just adds some great orchestrations.
