Some time ago I told you about some of the new holiday collections.  I thought it might be nice to spotlight some of my favorites (and customers’ favorites) from previous years.

One of our best selling Christmas collections is Mannheim Steamroller - Christmas, number 00501990.  Shannon Grama, a superb composer/arranger, developed this collection.  It sounds incredibly like the original, best-selling Mannheim Steamroller album.  It opens with a rousing rendition of “Deck the Halls” and features favorites like “We Three Kings,” “Carol of the Bells,” “Stille Nacht” and more.  The arrangements are quite unique and beautifully performed.

Another one that came to mind immediately is Wonderful Time of the Year, number 00501975. This collection was arranged and performed by Jason Nyberg.  You can read all about him a few posts back.  Of course, it includes “It’s the Most Wonderful Time of the Year,” “The Christmas Song,” “Silver Bells” and other great songs.

The fabulous piano duo of Landsberg and Yount recorded a great collection called “Sleigh Ride” - 00501996 a few years ago.  There are great songs featured including “Sleigh Ride” and “Brazilian Sleigh Bells” and the arrangements are fantastic.

There are so many from which to choose but I will select just one more.  This one is called “The Holly and the Ivy” - number 00501259 and this is special because it includes some songs you don’t hear over and over during the holidays.  These are beautiful songs like “Coventry Carol,” “The Holly and the Ivy,” “Fum, Fum, Fum,” “Gesu Bambino” and much more.  It is performed and arranged by Bryan Pezzone (see his profile in an earlier posting) and the arrangements are real gems.
