Why This CD Matters
The Boston Pops Orchestra, conducted here by Arthur Fiedler, brings a bright orchestral sound to a mix of Christmas carols and seasonal concert pieces. The program moves from the “A Christmas Festival” medley to Bach’s “Jesu, Joy Of Man’s Desiring,” Handel’s “Hallelujah” Chorus, and “Sleighride.” It’s a holiday set that pairs familiar songs with selections from classical works.
