This gem of a christmas album is finally released on cd on Collector's Choice Music. The HOLLYRIDGE STRINGS are a wonderful orchestra that are heavy on the strings and perform their instrumental music in an easy-listening type fashion which this christmas album certainly shows. Though they perform with a bit of a latin influence here in a couple of songs, I would say that if you like the christmas style of the LIVING STRINGS (The Spirit Of Christmas LP) and PERCY FAITH (Christmas Is LP), you would probably like this HOLLYRIDGE STRINGS christmas album (cd).
This HOLLYRIDGE STRINGS christmas album can be very upbeat at times such as in 'Jingle Bell Rock,' but it can be more mellow and lush such as in 'The Christmas Song.' One thing for sure is that it is a most fabulous orchestra instrumental christmas album from the start to the finish
This album receives my highest recommendation and will ship now, in 2-3 days from the Collector's Choice Music website which is: http://www.ccmusic.com/. When you're on the site, go to the search engine area and where you have the choice to pick artist, song, album, etc... click on the 'album' and then in the search engine, type in: christmas. As of this writing, the HOLLYRIDGE STRINGS - CHRISTMAS FAVORITES is on page 3 and it has no album image yet. It is selling for under $15.00.
