Since September 2010, this blog has recorded the journey of this music junkie as I attempt to listen to all the music in my CD collection. CDs revisited in their entirety from start to finish - no skipping tracks, no shuffle. Compact Discs only - no vinyl, no tapes, no files.

Boston Pops - Holiday Pops (1998)


Pretty much you would expect from the title: mostly familiar Christmas tunes given the orchestral pops treatment with vocals from the Tanglewood Festival Chorus. Performances are impeccable, but there are a few questionable programming choices.

Album chart peaks:
  • US Billboard 200: Did not chart
  • Billboard Classical Crossover: #3

Tracks:
Favorites are tracks 2, 7, 9, & 12. Skip tracks 4, 10, & 13.

Personal Memory Associated with this CD: None. My father was a huge Boston Pops fan dating back to the Arthur Fiedler days and I inherited this CD from him.

Previously revisited for the blog:
Joy To The World (1992)
By Request (1987)
