Favourite CLASSICAL Christmas Albums... that never grow old

Time to pull out the collection of
Classical Christmas music.

What classical Christmas albums are traditions and favorites around your tree?

A few of mine...this 1959 reissue of this beautiful RCA Victor release



This nice mono 6-eye Columbia LP gets a ton of play:

 

BTW...I couldn't find another thread like this, but if I missed it, I trust the mods to merge them.

 

"Classical" Christmas carols & hymns may sneak in too as interpreted by great conductors and their orchestras and choirs.

Leonard Bernstein, The New York Philharmonic and The Mormon Tabernacle Choir
The Joy Of Christmas

 

I have this series of CDs by The Boston Camerata that I listen to every year:

 

Elvis.

 

After Spector (above), Vince Guaraldi's A Charlie Brown Christmas is pretty good.

 

Living in New Orleans, this is a collection I have really gotten fond of:

 

Might want to see if the title could be changed to add the classical part.

This album isn't that old but it's a good collection by the classical guitar quartet Los Romeros.

 

Screw reading the original post, the SHTV way.

 

Guaraldi Trio - Charlie Brown Christmas
Ventures Christmas Album
Soul Christmas
Christmas with Chet Atkins
David Grisman - Acoustic Christmas
Kenny Burrell - Have Yourself a Soulful Little Christmas
Carpenters - Christmas Portrait
Elvis' Christmas Album
Cole - The Christmas Song
Bing - Merry Christmas

 

Sorry guys....looking to have the mods change this to "Favorite Classical Christmas albums"!

Sorry. I meant this to be Favorite CLASSICAL Christmas Albums to differ from the original threads. Hopefully the mods will change it forthwith.

 

This one for me. I like to listen to it on Christmas Eve. Dorati's recording with the Concertgebouw is another winner.
