 Great alternative to Christmas songs January 12, 2008
James W. Killman (Atlanta)
This is a terrific collection of Christmas music with the twist of a brass ensemble. I have used it to mix up a collection, and it really adds variety to the mix. Very well done.
Outstanding Musicality January 10, 2008

Several raters have complained about the lack of a listing of the performers on this disc. The Philadelphia Brass Ensemble was nothing more than the principal and second players of the Philadelphia Orchestra. Perhaps "nothing more" is not the best way to describe this as the performers were, at the time, some of the best players in the US. Gilbert Johnson (trumpet) was considered (until his death from cancer a few years ago) one of the finest trumpeters to ever have played in a symphony orchestra. When I was growing up, Henry Charles Smith (trombone) was the model we all looked up to for how a orchestral principal trombone should sound. He was the Joseph Alessi of the time. The same could be said for Mason Jones (french horn) and Abe Torchinsky (tuba). All of these players had students who are playing in major symphony orchestras around the world and continue to inspire future performers through their many recordings. To my knowlege, the performers are:
Gilbert Johnson (Trumpet)
Seymour Rosenfeld (Trumpet)
Mason Jones (French Horn)
Henry Charles Smith (Trombone)
Tyrone Breuninger (Trombone)
M. Dee Stewart (Euphonium)
Abe Torchinsky (Tuba)
Cheers!
A True Classic December 24, 2007
B. C. Magargee
This CD is all instrumental of well known traditional christmas carols. One of the pieces is a brass version of "Twelve Days of Christmas" is my absolute, all time favorite version. We have enjoyed ours for years and bought two more to give to family members so that (hopefully) when we visit them over the holidays we can listen to the good stuff!
a classic December 11, 2007
Laura Massey
This is one of my favorite holiday recordings - a classic from 1967. Beautiful brass renditions of 25 carols.
Exactly What I Was Looking For December 3, 2007
Jerry Agee
This is exactly the cd of traditional carols I was looking for. Those who want less traditional carols would probably like "A Christmas Concert" by the Pittsburgh Symphony Brass.
