George Melachrino and His Orchestra
Conductor George Melachrino's 1959 Christmas Joy, a release in RCA's Living Stereo series, makes its worldwide CD debut from Real Gone Music. This symphonic seasonal classic from one of the greatest maestros of all time includes such tracks as "Christmas Alphabet," "I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus," "Jingle Bells" and "Santa Claus Is Comin' to Town." It's been newly remastered by Maria Triana at Battery Studios in New York, and TSD's Joe Marchese tells the Melachrino story in his new liner notes.
