The Robert Shaw Chorale

Last year, Real Gone Music reissued The Robert Shaw Chorale's 1958 stereo re-recording of Christmas Hymns and Carols Vol. I, originally released in mono in 1949.  This year, the label is tackling the 1952 mono sequel to that original recording.   While featuring a similar structure of choral medleys like the first album, the Hymns and Carols follow-up drew its repertoire from more obscure sources.  Therefore, there are some more unknown hymns and carols mixed in with more popular ones like "I Saw Three Ships," "Good King Wenceslas," "The Twelve Days of Christmas," and "What Child is This."  This album has been remastered by Maria Triana at Battery Studios.
