Actually, I grew up with DJ, but I always found his music too raucous when he played with bands. Mac Rebennac is solo piano and shows his, what I think is unbelievable virtuosity with this style. Plus, it was recorded by Dean Roumanis on a Mark Levinson audio system, so the recording is superb. I really think you should reconsider, even if you don't like Silent Night. Isn't it nice to actually discuss music? That's what we should be talking about.
Christmas Music and Audiophiles?
I personally really enjoy listening to Christmas music. I find that when it's done well it can be better than just about any other types of music. I even listen to it from time to time throughout the year.
Are there any audiophile Christmas Albums that are worthly of your dedicated stereo listening systems or do you only play Christmas music on your whole house systems as background music?
What are you favorites?
One of my personal current favorites is the Canadian Tenors Christmas album. I have five more Christmas CDs on the way to enhance this upcoming season.

Guess I will have to give it another listen. I plan to place an order from Amazon again tonight, so I might just have it soon. :) 'The Bright Mississippi' by Allen Toussaint and 'Marsalis and Clapton Play the blues' are two excellent CDs also. A real Gem I found by accident is Aaron Neville's "warm your Heart". Gotta love that New Orleans sound. I am always on the lookout for new Music.so thanks for the tip. |
Today another three new Christmas CDs arrived: Il Divo, Faith Hill, and Celtic Woman. So far Il Divo is a great CD, but I prefer the sound/style of the Canadian Tenors. Faith Hill sounds great other than the first song sounded a bit hollow. Celtic Woman is starting...now...I expect it to be another classic Christmas CD, but I really enjoy their voices. |
Always a personal highlight of the holidays, each year the University of Pennsylvania's radio station, WXPN http://www.xpn.org/, puts on a 24 hour show of quirky holiday music. Incredibly cool. I encourage anyone who appreciates the music enumerated in this thread to check it out. I'll bump this when we get closer to the big day... |
