5.0 out of 5 stars best Christmas album by Boston Pops, December 23, 1998
By A Customer
I purchased this on vinyl when it first came out - it was John Williams' second annual Christmas Pops, and he did a spectacular job.

The medley of "The Carols of Alfred Burt" - and the explanation behind them from the Symphony Hall programme that year bring this LP full circle. In short, Alfred Burt used to write a Christmas carol every year and enclose it in the family's Christmas cards. John Williams spent time at the Burt household's Christmas parties and the singing of the carols was the high point of the holiday. Mr. Burt passed on at a young age, but immediately before his death made an arrangement to have his carols published commercially. And so we are left with his immortal Christmas carols ; some you knew, particularly "Caroling, Caroling" - some you may not have, as the emotional "Some Children See Him", which is my personal favorite. Not only is the orchestra at its peak - but so is the Tanglewood Festival Chorus.

Of all of the Christmas albums ever produced by the Boston Pops - and this includes those by Mr. Fiedler and Mr. Lockhart - this is my favorite. We still attend the Holiday Pops at Symphony Hall every year, but nothing tops the year in which the "green album" was produced. And nothing tops this album.

I wish the Pops would go back to more traditional holiday music - Mr. Williams did bring it back with Mr. Burt's carols.

5.0 out of 5 stars This CD is what Christmas is all about!, September 26, 2003
By David Cook "fantasmic22" (Victoria, British Columbia Canada) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This holiday CD has everything. It literally embodies the feeling of Christmas. From traditional and religious favorites to upbeat cheerful music that takes you and the kiddies back to Santa's workshop, you will not be disappointed.
This CD is not only musically brilliant, it will bring you the "feeling" of Christmas... what it used to be, what it is now, and what it could be.
The CD is quite long and will still leave you wanting more. It will bring you to tears one minute and have you rejoicing with happiness the next.
This has become our "traditional" CD of the holidays and we play it over and over.
Simply breathtaking.
You won't be sorry.
