Description

|
|
|
Both tender and triumphant, the 25 tracks of gleaming, glorious holiday music include "Deck the Halls," "Lo, How a Rose E'er Blooming," "Bring a Torch, Jeanette, Isabella," "The First Noel," "Angels We Have Heard on High," "We Three Kings of Orient Are," "O Come, All Ye Faithful," "O Sanctissima," "Good King Wenceslas," "Silent Night," "Coventry Carol," "God Rest Ye Merry, Gentlemen," "Hark! The Herald Angels Sing," "It Came Upon a Midnight Clear," "Good Christian Men, Rejoice," "O Holy Night," "What Child Is This?" "We Wish You a Merry Christmas," and more. Drawn from the Philadelphia Orchestra, the members of this elite, leaderless ensemble include Gilbert Johnson and Seymour Rosenfeld, trumpets; Mason Jones, horn; Henry Charles Smith, trombone; Dee Stewart, euphonium; and Abe Torchinsky and Peter Krill, tubas. "The very definition of a Christmas 'classic'—since it was first issued in 1967 it has never gone out of print, and the recording remains the number-one choice for brass-styled Christmas music…. To vary the sound, the Philadelphia Brass Ensemble makes use of differing instrumental combinations between the various players, even within a carol, in addition to a sparing but tasteful application of mutes."—All Music Guide
