Description
We have a tradition here at Real Gone Music of releasing Christmas albums
on CD every holiday season, and this year we are releasing a record that
started a tradition of its own. For nearly 70 years, The Mormon Tabernacle
Choir–today known as The Tabernacle Choir at Temple Square–has provided
the soundtrack of Christmas. The 360-person, all-volunteer choir's lush and majestic sound is one of the most distinctive in American popular song, and that's in no small part due to the group's legacy of Christmas albums. That legacy, which is still going strong today, began in 1957 with the Columbia Masterworks release of The Mormon Tabernacle Choir Sings Christmas Carols. Though the Choir made its first recordings in 1910, Christmas Carols was their first seasonal set, and quickly became a beloved perennial in the Columbia catalog. Eight years later, with stereo sound having all but taken over, the album was re-recorded, and the original disappeared…until now! Real Gone Music and Second Disc Records are proud to celebrate the season with the first-ever authorized reissue of The Mormon Tabernacle Choir Sings Christmas Carols in all its gorgeous mono splendor. Christmas music has never sounded so stirring and inspirational as on this set of fifteen classic carols and hymns. We've added four rare period bonus tracks (in stereo) to this essential package. It's all been newly remastered from the original tapes by Mike Milchner at SonicVision, and The Second Disc's Joe Marchese has penned new liner notes exploring The Mormon Tabernacle Choir's history of Christmas music. The most wonderful time of the year has just gotten a bit more
wonderful with the CD premiere of this lost classic from "America's Choir"
that's sure to enliven your Christmas morning!
