Would you like to take a trip around the world without even leaving the comfort of your desk? Then this album is for you! From the great Westminster label, a record that I had never seen before until I stumbled across this copy recently at a Goodwill here in Sarasota. I've been a fan of releases on the early Westminster label for many years now. Just do a quick search for Westminster here on the blog and you'll see many, many Christmas records here on that label. So it was certainly unexpected that I would find another one, but there it was. I love when that happens. You think you know something pretty well, and then something new pops up and surprises you! I hope this release is full of surprises for you as well. This is
Le Groupe Des Chanteurs Traditionnels De Paris (Helene Brunet, Alto-Marcel Giteau, Tenor-Madeleine Gerault, Soprano) With L'Orchestre Du Théâtre De Champs Elysées (Conducted By Marc Honegger)-
Christmas Around The World (Arrangements By Joseph Canteloube) (Westminster WL 5372, Mono, 1954). This isn't exactly pop music, and I don't really know anything about any of those names. But it's Christmas, so it's good stuff. Enjoy!

I offered this one in its French edition in 2013. That post has some background information on the composer and performers.

(funny seeing Busters comment over here as I first wrongly posted this comment over his Big Ten Inch Record blog. It looks almost idental and was packes with christmas shares, so it had me confused)
ReplyDeleteHello again Ernie! I posted my eight Xmas Delights yesterday and as always there's a couple of tunes, maybe three I've originally gotten from one of your shares. Here it is in case you or anyone else would like to have a listen:

Thank you both for the comments. Buster, I must have missed that one the first time around. I seem to have shared a lot of stuff that you've beaten me to this year. :(
ReplyDeleteAnd Moahaha, I think I've downloaded all of your collections in years' past, so thank you for this new one! Keep up the good work!
Don't worry about it, buddy - I will be returning the favor with "The Coming of the King" one day soon.
