5.0 out of 5 stars These Are REAL Music Boxes!, January 5, 2000

This review is from: Music Box Christmas (Audio CD)

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! :)

5.0 out of 5 stars An Heirloom!, November 12, 1999

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!

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!!
