The Glorious Sound of Christmas
November 3, 2017
The Philadelphia Orchestra recreates its 1963 gold record, The Glorious Sound of Christmas, with an updated release featuring some of the original Arthur Harris arrangements. Guest conductor Bramwell Tovey leads the Orchestra and the Mendelssohn Club of Philadelphia, and puts his own spin on a number of classic carols with his arrangements. This live recording, taken from performances in Verizon Hall at the Kimmel Center in 2014 and 2015, also includes the world premiere of Tovey’s original “The Rittenhouse Carol.”
