Few records capture the magic of Christmas quite like Bing Crosby's White Christmas. Originally released in 1945 as Merry Christmas, this collection brings together a selection of traditional carols and popular festive songs, delivered in Crosby's unmistakably warm, relaxed vocal style. At its heart is Irving Berlin's timeless "White Christmas", a song Crosby first recorded in 1942 for the film Holiday Inn, and which would go on to become one of the best-selling recordings in music history.
Alongside the famous title track, highlights include the beautifully understated "I'll Be Home for Christmas", "Silent Night", "Adeste Fideles" and "Faith of Our Fathers". The arrangements, featuring John Scott Trotter and His Orchestra, strike a perfect balance between orchestral warmth, traditional choral singing and big-band charm. There are also lighter moments with the Andrews Sisters joining Crosby on "Jingle Bells" and "Santa Claus Is Comin' to Town".
An essential piece of Christmas musical history, this is a wonderfully nostalgic collection that helped define the sound of the festive season for generations.
