Mantovani Christmas Carols

Mantovani Christmas Carols

I know many people will find it hard to believe that this classic Christmas albums is only now entering the digital age, yet it is. Collectors’ Choice Music, who released Christmas Favorites by The Hollyridge Strings last year, will be releasing this Mantovani gem sometime in late November.

You can find TONS of Mantovani Christmas music on CD, but it’s mostly later recordings, live concerts, radio broadcasts and compilations.  Truthfully, it’s hard to sift through it all.  But now you can breathe a sigh of relief as you enjoy this classic album.

We should all thank the folks at Collectors’ Choice, who take classic Christmas music very seriously.  However, special thanks goes to Chip Arcuri over at The Yule Log.com who has been working behind the scenes to help get this (and other classic Christmas LP’s) released into the digital realm.

RIP Art Ferrante (1921-2009)
