A Christmas Festival Reviews
| 28 of 28 people found the following review helpful  Christmas in Beantown, By This review is from: A Christmas Festival (Audio CD) In Boston, Christmas music is synonymous with The Boston Pops, and for many people, Christmas music is synonymous with its legendary conductor, Arthur Fielder. The album contains many Pops favorites including Leroy Anderson's arrangement of Christmas carols and his well known Sleigh Ride. We actually hear the authentic rendition of Sleigh Ride on this recording since the Pops made Anderson's music famous. The recording includes classical favorites such as music from the opera Hansel and Gretel, Mozart's Sleigh Ride, a highlight from The Nutcracker, and Fantasia on Greensleves. Newer works include Al Hirt's Toy Trumpet. The recording concludes with the Pops timeless rendition of Santa Claus Is Coming To Town.As soon as the music of this recording begins, the listener is transported to Boston's Symphony Hall. So take a break from the hectic holiday season and enjoy the sound of the Boston Pops! 20 of 20 people found the following review helpful Traditional Songs of the Season Instrumentally, By This review is from: A Christmas Festival (Audio CD) Pops fame of Fiedler and Boston Pops is well illustrated in this Christmas collection. Well done recording balanced with religious and secular offerings. Especially enjoy the versions of "Carol of the Bells" and "What Child Is This?" Worthwhile addition to play to provide variety of sung and instrumental holiday cheer. 16 of 17 people found the following review helpful Fantasctic all instrumental Xmas music, By R. Shaw (Hanford, CA USA) - See all my reviews This review is from: A Christmas Festival (Audio CD) Arthur Fiedler has created a timeless classic album with the Boston Pops. All the Christmas standards are here, all in instrumental form (which is hard to find these days). Even if you aren't a classical music fan you will find these renditions exciting and fitting for any Christmas occasion. The songs will draw pleasant memories of your youth at Christmas time. Especially unique is the whimsical "sleigh ride" with the clip clop sounds of horses hooves, a whip snapping, sleigh bells ringing, and for the finale, the neighing of a horse (portrayed by a trumpet of course). |
