THE
RCA VICTOR LSP- 4016
Christmas is a time of gift-giving, religious contemplation, carols and colorful lights, joy and the hope of peace. In this album Perry Como gives warm and heartfelt expression to the many moods of the holiday season. For those who respond to the spiritual significance of Christmas, Mr. C. thoughtfully offers Ave Maria, O Holy Night and a moving medley of Caroling, Caroling, The First Noel, Hark! The Herald Angels Sing and Silent Night. Since Yuletide always holds a special appeal for children, there are delightful fantasies like The Little Drummer Boy, and light, lilting melodies like Silver Bells and Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas. The large girls chorus provides a caroling, high-register back-ground for the Como wine-rich baritone. Because Christmas has always has a deep meaning for Mr. C. and for the tightly knit Como family, this album is suffused with a feeling of rare beauty. This is an album to cherish and to share with others for Christmas. Arranged and Conducted by Nick Perito with The Ray Charles Singers Produced by Andy Wiswell Recording Engineers: Ed Begley, Ray Hall and Bob Simpson Recorded July / August, 1968 |
