TASTE OF A CHURCH-CHOIR-SOUNDING INTERPRETATION OF THE CHRISTMAS CLASSICS
I love this album of Christmas classics from the 1960's when Mitch Miller and his "gang" were popular. I grew up listening to it at Christmastime, compliments of my dear mom. She herself sang first chair in the choir at Bob Jones University, and once was contracted to sing in New York with the Metropolitan Opera. So, no wonder her tastes went to this very church-choir sounding chorus. There's a simplistic beauty in the almost religious way in which this choir interprets these great Christmas songs, and I love it because it brings my mom - now parted from me - a little closer, Hope you enjoy it, too.
Classic Mitch. It's helpful to boost the bass a little bit though.
Exactly what you'd expect from a Mitch Miller Sing-Along. This one - "Christmas Sing Along With Mitch" (Columbia CK 38298) doesn't have the children's voices. "Holiday Sing Along With Mitch" (Columbia CK 38297) features a completely different play list with children's voices augmenting the choir. I recommending getting both! As is typical of CDs of this vintage boosting the bass a bit will result in a fuller, richer sound.
