Christmas carols

[John F]

There must be hundreds of recordings out there of Christmas carols arranged for star singers, orchestra, whatnot. More in tune with the Christmas spirit is this collection of 19 carols, some of them quite unfamiliar, sung by an unaccompanied vocal quintet conducted by David Randolph. We had this Westminster LP in the 1950s. It used to be that carolers went from door to door singing carols, but I don't suppose that's done any more, at least not in America. If it were, and the singers were very good, they might have sounded like this.

We used to go to Boston much more than we do now-I remember going with friends who lived up there to Beacon Hill and seeing corolers-wonder if that still might happen--googled and got stuff like this. Regards, Len

SXM's all-Xmas channel doesn't play any of the old religious carols.
