 The first and the best.

| Through all the years, this still remains the best Christmas brass album available. The playing is wonderful and the arrangements great. You cannot go wrong here and there are lots of carols. It is very affordable and great to listen to. Highest recommendation. |

Brassy Christmas
Submitted on: 2009-02-19 |

| If you like the sound of brass ensembles, this is a great Christmas CD. The well-known and almost-well-known seasonal songs are played in a bright, bouncy style. The arrangements are imaginative and interesting. |

You'll Want to Sing Along

The Philadelphia Brass Ensemble's "A Festival of Carols in Brass" (Adrew Kazdin's 1991 music transfer to CD from the 1967 Adam & Davies original) remains a classic for Christmas music lovers. I was delighted to recently find it at Amazon.
These "25 Favorite Christmas Carols" feature the most presented and memorial Yule time tunes, from "Deck the Halls" to "We Wish You a Merry Christmas". One hears "Good King Wenceslas", "Joy to the World", "O Holy Night", "Silent Night" and all the rest played with the announcement and bold delivery that only brass can bring. Trombones, baritones, French horns, bugles, coronets, trumpets- they are all here! You will want to sing along with all this brass.
Each piece is exquisite and comfortably tailored for Christmas activity. This CD makes excellent background holiday party music. It plays for a little over an hour. "A Festival of Carols in Brass" is recommended to everyone wishing to offer the musical joy of this holy season.
Merry Christmas!

Fantastic CD with all the popular Christmas tunes
Submitted on: 2008-12-09 |

This is by far one of the best Christmas CD's. Like the other reviewers have said, "you feel as though a Salvation Army band is playing right outside your window". All the popular Christmas tunes are done with perfect precision and pitch. As a fellow (but amateur) musician, this CD makes me want to get out my old school band trumpet and play along.
It is truely amazing that the Philadelphia Brass Ensemble is just 5 guys - (2) trumpets, (1) french horn, (1) trombone, (1) tuba.
You can't go wrong with this classic CD. It's incredible - you have to hear it to believe it.
