Next to the selections by Mannheim Steamroller, The Boston Pops and Arthur Fiedler put together some of the wonderful instrumental melodies of the Christmas season.Every one is first rate to listen to. I don't know which one I like. Anyway.. you will like this!!!

Arthur Fiedler has created a timeless classic album with the Boston Pops. All the Christmas standards are here, all in instrumental form (which is hard to find these days). Even if you aren't a classical music fan you will find these renditions exciting and fitting for any Christmas occasion. The songs will draw pleasant memories of your youth at Christmas time. Especially unique is the whimsical "sleigh ride" with the clip clop sounds of horses hooves, a whip snapping, sleigh bells ringing, and for the finale, the neighing of a horse (portrayed by a trumpet of course).

Pops fame of Fiedler and Boston Pops is well illustrated in this Christmas collection.

Well done recording balanced with religious and secular offerings. Especially enjoy the versions of "Carol of the Bells" and "What Child Is This?"

Worthwhile addition to play to provide variety of sung and instrumental holiday cheer.
