Best Holiday CDs?

Something else a little different: "Christmas Eve and Other Stories" by the Trans-Siberian Orchestra (Lava Records). I don't know that the sound qualifies as "audiophile", but it certainly is dynamic. The acoustic guitar solos are particularly stunning on my system. The story this CD tells is rather maudlin (what Christmas story isn't?) but the new music and the arrangements of old standards are all great. I play this CD all year around. I believe that this work has also been performed as a TV special - watch for it as the holiday grows near.

Squirrel Nut Zippers have a good Christmas cd, and a lot of it is original. Not audiophile qualit but it still sounds great!

Rounder Records has a nice sampler out, it's called "Must Be Santa". Also George Winston's December is nice.

sd campbell. Thanks for recommendtion on Cantate Domino on Proprius label. I ordered it mail order from UHF magazine. Recording quality and content are tops. Stille Nacht is the best rendition I think I have heard . Thanks again,happy holidays. Steve

I agree with Tubegroover, Mannheim Steamrollers CD's are the best for Christmis Music. I saw them in concert and they do a nice job.
