Music reviews of Greatest Christmas Show on Earth
Music Review: a voice teacher and early music fan
Rating: 5 Stars
A PRICELESS TREASURY OF CHRISTMAS CLASSICS PERFORMED BY MUSICAL 'LEGENDS'.
It saddens me to see that this truly amazing collection of memorable performances by such legendary performers as: Pavarotti, L. Price, J. Sutherland, R. Tebaldi, and the like, plus such groups under conductors who are no longer living or retired, such as: Sir David Willcocks, George Guest, Margaret Hills to name just a few will no longer be available for the listening public. In addition, this includes those performers and groups who fortunately are still recording, but the selections herein probably include some of their momentous moments from earlier times. Perhaps some record company will pick it up and remaster it. I hope so.
The years that encompass this collection are 1958 through 1996. To be able to hear (on two CD's) songs such as 'Adeste Fideles' sung by Pavarotti, 'Ave Maria' Leontyne Price, and 'Joy to the World' by Joan Sutherland, (to name just a few) along with outstanding performances from such choirs as: King's College conducted by D. Willcocks singing their trademark 'Once in Royal David's City', St.John's College conducted by G.Guest 'I Saw three Ships' and it goes on and on. (The list is displayed for your perusal by Amazon.)
To have all of this truly wonderful music available during the holiday season and, in fact all year round, has provided me with many hours of pleasurable listening. And, believe me when I say, that when a bought this several years ago, it was a lot more expensive. So: HAPPY LISTENING!
I also must agree with the above reviewer; the name of this album is actually demeaning to what is contained therein.
