There are just 14 more shopping days until Santa makes his
rounds, and for those who still have Christmas shopping to
complete, we'd like to offer some musical suggestions.
STRICTLY FOR CHRISTMAS: The old standbys are back again
this year, including Bing Crosby's "White Christmas," Gene.Autry's
"Rudolph, the Red-Nosed Reindeer," and the usual run of carols.
Capitol newcomers include Frank Sinatra's "A Jolly Christmas
from Frank Sinatra"; "Now Is the Caroling Season" with Fred
Waring, and a series of albums covering Christmas in eight countries.
Verve snaps back this year with "Spike Jones Presents a Christ
mas Spectacular," with Spike playing it straight and good. Vik
wraps Gisele MacKenzie in tinsel and the result is a delightful
package called "Christmas with Gisele."
On the classical side, try RCA's two-record "L'Enfance du Christ,"
featuring the Boston Symphony and an excellent singing group.
Mendelssohn's magnificent "Elijah" by the Liverpool Symphony is
a special present from Angel, and by all means hear Angel's "Christ
mas Songs" sung by the Obernkirchen Children's Choir.
CHRISTMAS FOR THE CATS: For those with friends who dig
jazz, the Christmas remembrance is relatively inexpensive, and
deeply appreciated, if it is a record for a collection.
"Such Sweet Thunder," a new Duke Ellington special on Colum
bia, will find its way into many collectors' cabinets this yuletide.
Most cats dig Count Basie the most, and his Verve "Basie in
London" album is well worth giving. Vanguard's "Buckin' the
Blues" with Buck Clayton Septet is real cool listening.
"Jazz Omnibus" on Columbia covers many phases of jazz and
should fit almost any stocking, while "Jazz, the Most," with Woody
Herman's great band, is another Verve yule gift. "If This Ain't the
Blues," with Jimmy Rushing, and "Pocket Full of Dreams" featur
ing Ruby Braff and Ellis Larkins, are two Vanguard Christmas cards
any jazz fan would welcome.
LIFETIME REMEMBRANCES: For those looking for a gift that
will give a lifetime of enjoyment, here are a few suggestions:
For countless hours of enjoyment, consider two new Angel offer
ings, Debussy's "Pelleas et Melisande" and "La Sonnambula," the
Vincenzo Bellini opera performed by the famed La Scala company.
"Landmarks" is the title of Leopold Stokowski's new Capitol re
cording. It is beautifully recorded and masterfully conducted.
"Symphony No. 9," performed by a number of artists and the New
York Philharmonic on Columbia, is destined to become a collector's
piece. Grieg's "Peer Gynt" gets a fine reading from Arthur Fiedler
and the Boston Pops Orchestra on RCA. Finally, Bartok's "Violin
Concerto" is the basis for the Mercury debut of Yehudi Menuhin,
supported by the Minneapolis Symphony.
HI-FI FUN: For those of your friends who will be getting a new
hi-fi set this Christmas, here are three albums worth considering.-
"Hi-Fi in the Highlands" with the Regimental Band and Massed
Pipers of the Scots Guards, an Angel release; "Visit New Orleans,"
Golden Crest's offering starring the Banjo Bums; and on the same
label, "Tower Music" with the Chamber Brass Ensemble.
