Distinguished ghosts of Christmases past gather together for a festive, fancy party of holiday favorites. Arthur Fiedler leads the Boston Pops in "The Little Drummer Boy" and Leroy Anderson's "Sleigh Ride." Members of the famed Robert Shaw Chorale raise their voices in "Deck the Halls," "God Rest You Merry Gentlemen," and "Angels We Have Heard on High." A lineup of singing stars join in the merriment, too: Mario Lanza croons "O Christmas Tree" and "O Holy Night," Leontyne Price wraps her velvety vocal chords around the folk tune "I Wonder as I Wander," and Plácido Domingo lends his tenor to the Bach-Gounod "Ave Maria." Other guests include Eugene Ormandy and the Philadelphia Orchestra, flutist James Galway, the Vienna Choir Boys, and the Canadian Brass. With 28 tracks of extravagant arrangements and a joyous spirit throughout, this album is sure to make your own holiday party absolutely fabulous. Andrew Farach-Colton
