Mormon Tabernacle Choir - Hallelujah! - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

For nearly 70 years, The Mormon Tabernacle Choir-today known as The Tabernacle Choir at Temple Square-has provided the soundtrack of Christmas. The 360-person, all-volunteer choir's rich and majestic sound is one of the most distinctive in American popular song, and that's in no small part due to the group's legacy of Christmas albums. That legacy, which is still going strong today, began in 1957 with the Columbia Masterworks of The Mormon Tabernacle Choir Sings Christmas Carols. Though the Choir made it's first recordings in 1910, Christmas Carols was their first seasonal set, and quickly became a beloved perennial in the Columbia catalog. Eight years later, with stereo sound having all but taken over, the album was re-recorded, and the original disappeared... until now! Real Gone Music and Second Disc Records are proud to celebrate the season with the first-ever authorized reissue of The Mormon Tabernacle Choir Sings Christmas Carols in all it's gorgeous mono splendor. Christmas music has never sounded so stirring and inspirational as on this set of fifteen classic carols and hymns, backed by the monumental 11,623-pipe organ at the Salt Lake Tabernacle. We've added four rare period bonus tracks (in stereo) to this essential package. It's all been newly remastered from the original tapes by Mike Milchner at SonicVision, and The Second Disc's Joe Marchese has penned new liner notes exploring The Mormon Tabernacle Choir's history of Christmas music. The most wonderful time of the year has just gotten a bit more wonderful with the CD premiere of this lost classic from InchAmerica's ChoirInch that's sure to enliven your Christmas morning!
