Your Favorite Holiday Recordings Are?

Cantante Domino - this is a fabulous recording of beautifully performed choral works with some nice organ too. The vinyl is mind blowing, but the CD is thoroughly enjoyable too.

I understand it is now out of print but you may still be able to get a copy if you try hard enough.

Recorded using a ReVox A-77 (15 ips. half track, 1/4" tape) and a pair of mic's, plugged directly into the deck. Gives those of us who own ReVox R2R decks a sense of pride.

Well, there's always Trans-Siberian Orchestra. When I was demoing 8 billion cable brands, I had some Nordost in with all solid state stuff. Trans-Siberian Orchestra X-Mas music really kicked some a. Didn't really care for the Nordost otherwise, though...

There's always Bach's lighter stuff as well.

Harry Connick Jr's Christmas album, and of course the old Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer soundtrack . . . . and, yes, I have to admit it, John Denver and Ralph the Dog dueting on "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas" . .. .

Happy X-MAS (War is Over)- John Lennon-still can't believe it, 22 years Dec 8 that John has been gone.

Thanks to all. Every year my sons and I try to add at least one new CD/SACD that will become part of our holiday tradition.

Thanks, Jim
