"I have BEEN to Rita Ford's Music Box Emporium in New York City, and can personally testify that these are REAL, antique music boxes. Most of them are quite large; the Regina is about table-top sized, and some (such as the Polyphon) can be the size of a large refrigerator or china cabinet(!). Due to such monstrous sizes, real range of pitch is possible. Anyone who labors under the unfortunate misconception that all music boxes must be High-&-Tinkly need only to listen to this album to be permanently cured of it -- particularly in the case of "O Sanctissima", near the end of which occurs a note so low that it is almost (but fortunately not quite) unmusical! (Play it, you'll hear what I mean.) My personal favorites among these pieces are: "Spin, Spin", "Ihr Kinderlein Kommet (O Come Little Children)", "O Sanctissima", "Jesus Lover Of My Soul", and of course, "Stille Nacht (Silent Night)". Christmas Is Come! :)"
Wonderful

"This record has been played in my husband's family every year at Christmas since he was little. When I was introduced to it, it instantly had the same effect on me. It says "Christmas" like nothing else! Since the record is in bad shape I was delighted to find it now on CD. The tradition can continue!"
What a spectacular holiday selection

"I remember when I was child growing up on this music and I still like to listen to it today at 40!!! It is a fabulous collection of time-honored tunes and is well-presented and not real easy to find. Anyone who likes reflective quality holiday music should absolutely love this, it's great!!"

"If you grew up in the decade before 1968, this album would have been well known in American homes.
My late-father played this over and over ever year in December and I am forever grateful."
