Long a favorite around here, or at least a favorite
once I got my hands on a stereo copy, I finally decided to remaster this classic LP from Bianco. This cover looks a little the worse for wear, but I think you'll find the music to be quite nice. Bianco was one of the folks who popularized the harp as a lead instrument back in the late fifties and early sixties, along with Robert Maxwell and others. This great Christmas record showcases some of his smoothest recordings, setting a great mood for your Christmas time. Go ahead, download it, you know you want to. This is

Speaking of harps (sort of), I want to share one of my favorite Christmas albums with you, as a sign of gratitude for the many happy hours your shares have brought me over the last few years. It Bruno Hoffmann on the glass harp, supported by a children's choir and wind ensemble. It's pretty magical.

I downloaded this last year, and this version of "O Holy Night" has become one of my very favorites, and very much enjoy the album in general. The new recording sounds lovely, thank you!

ReplyDeleteHi Ernie and the band, I just discovered your nice blog which seems full of beautiful shares. I'm definitely too late for this one (and the other album shared by Gigh-Fi) but was wondering if you could re-post it some time please ?
ReplyDeleteAnyway, have a wonderful year everybody! :)
