The best Christmas album ever!

"Probably 30+ years ago, I first heard "Caroling, Caroling" at the home of friends. They proclaimed it their favorite Christmas album of all time. I liked it, and left it at that.



Several years later, I found a copy of the album and bought it. Taking time to listen to the words, I found Alfred Burt's carols to be my ideal of the Christmas spirit. No Christmas has gone by when I didn't listen again and again.



But Lex de Azevedo et al no longer provide this album. Other people have recorded Burt carols, but not like these folks. I believe that the Millenium Choir is made up of many members of the King family of TV fame, good friends of the Burts. When they sang his carols on their show years ago, they said that he wrote one per year as a Christmas gift to his friends. All would gather at Burt's house to hear the new carol, and then they would sing together the carols of their host. The choir members perform the carols from the heart and make them truly a thing of beauty. My Christmas wish is that the album would be brought out again, and I would buy one for every single person I ever cared about!"
