Synopsis

Amazon.com

Bing Crosby is the father of the Christmas album. He sired the whole shooting match in 1942 when he recorded Irving Berlin's "White Christmas" for the Decca soundtrack of Holiday Inn, and the season has never been the same since. "White Christmas" isn't just Crosby's signature tune, it's also that of Christmas, selling millions around the world and inspiring countless recording artists to create their own holiday versions every year. This single-CD package draws from The Voice of Christmas: The Complete Decca Christmas Songbook and features the original recording of "White Christmas" (often replaced by a later version on reissues) as well as all the seasonal songs Crosby cut over three decades. And with extensive liner notes, it's a slam-dunk gift buy for the whole family. --Martin Keller

CD Reviews

Get this album and don't think twice about it

stephanie | PEI,Canada | 12/09/1999

(5 out of 5 stars)

"For the price of this album your getting a steal. The recording is wonderfully digitally remastered, so the quality is excellent, there are only a couple of recordings from the worn out masters that give a hint of subpar quality and that is harding anything to get worked up about. This album includes most of Bing's holiday greats and I can't stress how wonderful this recording is. Bing's performance is legendary and if you have the old Bing Crosby cd Merry Christmas with Bing, its time to replace it with this treasure. Buy this album you'll not regret it."

A "must have" for your Christmas music collection

"This CD has two key elements going for it. First, the selection of songs is great. They are all classics and done very well! Second, the quality of the sound is wonderful. Even though these songs were recorded years ago, the fact that they remastered the songs is evident. Certainly the best Christmas album I own... and I own several! Besides, what is Christmas without Bing!"

These recordings have never sounded better!

tanderson40 | Piney Flats, Tennessee United States | 10/21/2000

(4 out of 5 stars)

"Nobody could transmit warmth through music (or acting) the way Bing Crosby could. His lighthearted style of singing is wonderfully matched with secular Christmas music, but shows its drawbacks with the old Christmas hymns and carols which require more empathy with the meaning of the words to be effective. However, this is a treasure trove of Christmas music. It all has an old-fashioned, nostalgic air that says "Christmas" to millions of people. Most of the recordings on this abridged album were made before high fidelity (not to mention stereo) sound recording was viable. These rather primitive recordings really showed their age on previous versions, but sound markedly better here. It's nice to have a restored version of White Christmas, Bing's signature Christmas song. So, if you are a fan of Bing or just want to experience "that Christmas feeling," this is the album to buy. Leave the other, poor-sounding CDs on the shelf."
