Music reviews of 40th Anniversary Charlie Brown Christmas - Various Artists (SuperDisc)
Music Review: I'll second the motion...
Rating: 1 Stars
...and I haven't even bought this CD. I got the email today from Amazon advertising it, and my first reaction (because the original CD soundtrack from Guaraldi is the GREATEST CHRISTMAS ALBUM OF ALL TIME) was that I'd give it a try. I mean, come on, surround sound? How cool is that? Little did I know, before reading the previous review, that it was a whole new album/arrangement of all the songs. Horendous indeed!!!! Now, if they had simply taken the original tracks and put them in surround, maybe improved the mix....who knows....? But I can tell you this: for me, part of the beauty of the original recording is the flat out INNONCENCE and glorious LO-FI of the mixes. It immediately takes me back to that one night of the year when CBS would air the special. I lived for that evening, as did many of you.
Why am I taking the time to write a review for something I haven't even heard? Because I don't want to know that anyone else had their Christmas almost ruined over another modern-day artist trying to cash in on a true genius' talents, just like the previous reviewer so correctly stated. Don't get me wrong, I have nothing against Benoit, but really......compose your own Christmas songs and leave the classics alone, David. Some things in life should simply be off limits.
In other words.....I SECOND THE MOTION!!!!! LONG LIVE THE ORIGINAL RECORDING!!!!!!!
(oh, and God bless us....every one.....)

Description of 40th Anniversary Charlie Brown Christmas - Various Artists (SuperDisc)
Celebrate the 40th Anniversary of A Charlie Brown Christmas with David Benoit?s reprisal of the original Christmas classic. We are presenting two unique mixes in High Definition Surround Sound: The "Orchestral" mix is engineered to recreate the experience of being in a Concert Hall. The mix is lush and reverberating. It resembles the natural acoustics of a beautiful theater with a large, expansive sound. The "In The Room" mix is more intimate allowing you "inside" the music. You hear the instruments all around you. "When I heard the "In The Room" Monster mix," Says Benoit, "I felt like I was right there with the band, right at the rehearsal, like we were just rehearsing in our living room. There?s the drummer and bass player here, the piano right in the middle, and I?m just part of this and it was just like it was happening in real time." This SuperDisc also includes the original stereo recording for your CD player.Jazz CDs
