I've been waiting for this recording to be put on CD for several years! When growing up, our favorite Christmas record album was Snowbound. We loved it so much, we wore out the record!! After years of searching the internet, it is here digitally remastered! All of the old favorites are there, flooding me with fond memories, as well as a bonus of other favorites. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

If you're looking for the perfect soundtrack to evoke the spirit of Christmas past, this is the disc. Thanks to the Capitol label, we're once again able to enjoy some of the holiday chestnuts recorded by this magical duo. Unfortunately, all of Ferrante & Teicher's yuletide favorites are not here. However, until Capitol re-releases their 1992 re-release of F&T's Snowbound/We Wish You a Merry Christmas this will suffice nicely. This collection is bound to become a family favorite and just as much of a tradition as Mamaw Smith's pound cake. Happy Christmas!

What makes this album so great is its mix of the traditional Christmas carols (Deck The Halls)and popular tunes (Rudolph). It's great listening and there is a something for everyone on this disc. A wonderful addition to the holiday collection.

As most of you know who read my reviews, I am a library specialist in music at a medium sized library. A couple of years ago a woman came up to the desk and said that her husband was looking for a CD by "Frannie and Tasha". The children's librarian and I were desparately racking our brains for a children's CD by that group until we heard him say" 'no, dear, these two guys play the piano" and realized he was looking for anything by Ferrante and Teicher! I am so pleased to find this Christmas CD in your
current list of holiday music! I have been a fan of F & T for more years than I am going to admit here,and am always looking for their CDs for my library and my own collection. Thank you!

If you like Ferrante and Teicher and Christmas, this is the CD for you! It is bassically a remastered reissue of the "Snowbound/We Wish You a Merry Christmas" CD minus the track "Moonlight Serenade" and the contents shuffled together. The original CD 2-fer is still avaiable on Amazon if you prefer the original albums in their original order, but unless you don't mind one track missing and prefer remastering, pick this release up instead.
