CD DetailsSynopsis
Album Description 'ROUND THE CHRISTMAS TREE is a brand new digital recording of American holiday music of the 1880s through the 1910s as performed by the world's foremost interpreters of this era - the Paragon Ragtime Orchestra. The music is played from the actual original orchestrations (i.e. orchestra sheet music), using antique instruments and authentic period playing styles. The 65 minute disc features 15 Yuletide selections - most not available on record since the age of the Victrola. Included as well are a number of world premier recordings, including "The Nutcracker Rag" (a travesty on Tchaikovsky's famous holiday ballet), and Theodore Moses-Tobani's colorful 1908 fantasia "Round the Christmas Tree." This new Compact Disc was recorded with the latest in high-definition digital technology at the Edison Studio in New York City. Similarly Requested CDs

CD ReviewsA Christmas Delight 12/18/2001 (5 out of 5 stars) "This recording is truly a delight for the holidays. It's refreshing to hear music that's you don't hear on the radio during the Christmas season. The selections are delightful. The orchestra sounds superb, the singing and the piano playing add a special charm to this recording, and the songs bring back memories of long ago. This is a must have for your Christmas CD collection." Traditional And I mean TRADITIONAL Xmas Music Wade J. Sheeler | Los Angeles, CA | 12/17/2007 (3 out of 5 stars) "If you love Ragtime, and not just piano versions of the classic format, but full orchestras, you will enjoy Paragon Ragtime's Christmas album. It very successfully captures that turn-of-the-century feel with music that straddles the fence between out and out classical music and ragtime, which was battling for mainstream acceptance in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. So if sopranoes singing non-secular music is not your thing, you may want to skip a few tracks. Some tunes are long lost traditionals that will help complete your rare christmas music collection if that is your inclination."
