The Classic Christmas features 17 songs from 4 of Bennett s Christmas Albums, \u003cbr\u003ehand-picked by Tony Bennett himself, as well as the previously unreleased \"What Child Is This.\" \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Classic Christmas includes 5 tracks from the Grammy-nominated A Swingin' Christmas (featuring the Count Basie Big Band). A beautiful arrangement \u003cbr\u003eon \"I' ve Got My Love to Keep Me Warm\" (which also happens to be a rare duet with his daughter, Antonia Bennett) compliments the great accomplishment \u003cbr\u003eof treating standards, like \"I ll Be Home for Christmas\" and \"My Favorite Things\" -- as though they were ripe for the re-imagining (which, of course, they are).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFive tracks are pulled from Bennett s 1968 release, Snowfall: The Tony Bennett Christmas Album, which features a playful orchestral backup, courtesy of \u003cbr\u003eRobert Fanon. The versions of \"Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas\" and \"The Christmas Song (Chestnuts Roasting on an Open Fire)\" emphasize the \u003cbr\u003eromantic elements to great effect, while Bennett s take on My Favorite Things is superlative. Where so many artists just re-make the same holiday album \u003cbr\u003eevery other year, Bennett has opted to append new material to his sole original.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe London Symphony Orchestra lend support on 4 more traditional favorites; \"Deck The Halls,\" \"O Little Town Of Bethlehem,\" \"O Come All Ye Faithful\" and \u003cbr\u003e \"Silent Night\"\u003c\/span\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books Prime","offers":[{"title":"Mp3 Music, October 11, 2011","offer_id":45912080154815,"sku":"3fd992d2-c508-4b5e-946e-cc5d4a8a23d5","price":11.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0761\/7550\/7647\/files\/af43f60234b5103482accd2de29b438e.jpg?v=1785005757","url":"https:\/\/books-prime.com\/products\/the-classic-christmas-album-4","provider":"Books Prime","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
