CD Reviews

Brilliant 1940's music
Peter Durward Harris | Leicester England | 10/30/2003
(5 out of 5 stars)

"Recorded Christmas music first became popular in the 1940's following the success of Bing Crosby's original version of White Christmas. This British budget collection containing fifty Christmas recordings of the era is as good as anything you are likely to find, especially at the price.Despite this being a budget release, the sound quality is good (not always perfect) and there are some liner notes that include they year in which each track is recorded - the dates range from 1939 to 1951. This double CD was originally released as two separate budget CD's (one, like this collection, titled That Christmas feeling and the other titled Winter wonderland) and you will find some songs appearing twice, but with a different singer on each CD. I counted nine such songs but I don't mind this duplication. Why should I complain at getting both the Bing Crosby and Frank Sinatra versions of White Christmas?Bing Crosby, the Andrews sisters, Frank Sinatra, Judy Garland, Doris Day, Perry Como and Nat King Cole account between them for a substantial number of the tracks included here but that's how it should be - but there are plenty of other singers and bands represented here.Apart from those already mentioned, there are several other great ladies of the era here. Ella Fitzgerald sings Santa Claus got stuck in my chimney. Peggy Lee swings nicely on Winter weather, backed by Benny Goodman. Britain's Anne Shelton sings a beautiful version of Merry Christmas. Child star Deanna Durbin sings O come all ye faithful and Silent night. Margaret Whiting is not represented by a solo recording, but she and Jimmy Wakely sing a great version of Silver bells.Gene Autry gets two tracks - Frosty the snowman and Here comes Santa Claus, though his most famous Christmas recording, Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer, is not included, although two covers of the song are. Ernest Tubb's original recording of Blue Christmas is included. Other great singers and bands to be found here include Glenn Miller, Woody Herman, Spike Jones, Eddy Arnold, the Orioles, Dick Haymes, Guy Lombardo, the Boston pops orchestra, Vaughn Monroe and Russ Morgan. If you enjoy 1940's Christmas music, this is essential."
