I'll Be Home For Christmas

[stuartj]

This has probably been listed elsewhere, but in case not, it features three songs by Hayley:

1 Sleigh Ride - Arthur Fiedler & The Boston Pops
2 I'll Be Home For Christmas - London Festival Orchestra/Ronnie Aldrich & His Two Pianos
3 Mary Did You Know? - Hayley Westenra
4 Lost In the Snow - Russell Watson
5 Christmas Blues - Matt Dusk
6 Chestnuts Roasting On An Open Fire (The Christmas Song) - Hayley Westerna
7 Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas - Judy Garland
8 Go Tell It On the Mountain - Cyrus Chestnut/Morris Robinson
9 Twelve Days Of Christmas, The - Stephen Cleobury/George Guest/Choir Of St. Johns College
10 Winter Wonderland - Kiri Te Kanawa
11 Away In the Manger - Hayley Westenra
12 Suo Gan - Stephen Cleobury/George Guest/Simon Keenlyside/Robert King/Lynton Atkinson/Choir Of St. Johns College
13 Minuit Chretien - Nana Mouskouri
14 Carol Of the Bells - Musica Sacra/Richard Westenburg
15 Joy To the World - London Symphony Orchestra/Sir Colin Davis
16 White Christmas - Bryn Terfel
17 Santa Claus Is Coming To Town - Arthur Fiedler & The Boston Pops
18 Christmastime Medley: Medley: We Three Kings Of Orient Are/the Holly & the Ivy/La Peregrinancion - Swingle Sistes
19 Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer - Arthur Fiedler & The Boston Pops
20 Cool Yule - Matt Dusk
21 Jingle Bells - Danny Kaye



I know some of you aren't too keen of these compilations, but his seems a pretty prestigious one; Hayley has more songs than anyone else on it, and has more or less top billing (Behind the Boston Pops) ahead of some pretty big names. A glance at this cover gives the impression that she is in the very top bracket!

It's on Amazon too, but without who performs the tracks.

Hi Stuart,

Thanks very much for the information. I may be wrong but I don't recall seeing this particular compilation before.

I don't think there are many here who are not interested in compilations. It is unlikely that they would include a recording of Hayley that we don't alread have in our own collections and so relatively few of us would be tempted to buy it. However, we still like to know of their existance because we are aware that such compilations may introduce her name to a new audience.

I have seen this album somewhere, I think at the evil US iTunes. However, I only saw Hayley's name after Mary Did You Know. This album looks quite nice. Too bad I didn't put it on my wishlist So much Christmas music! Yay!

Classy all right - with three Hayley songs!

And I thought I was doing well with 'A Classic Christmas',

with just one Hayley song ('Silent Night' with Aled Jones) on it!



'Would have been great for Christmas!

Too late now.
