The Christmas Song [ORIGINAL RECORDING REMASTERED]
Amazon.com essential recording
Countless singers have recorded the now-famous title track to this 14-song collection, but none have explored its evocative nuances as fully as the man who first brought it into our living rooms–Nat King Cole. Then again, his honeyed throat and refined delivery allowed him to make just about any song his own–even ubiquitous carols such as “O Holy Night” and “Adeste Fideles.” Cole’s gift–the thing that made him beloved by grandmas and jazzbos alike–was his ability to conjure images so vivid, you need only close your eyes in order to see, say, a snow-swept town square (“Caroling, Caroling”) or that holy scene from 2,000 years ago (“Away in a Manger”). –David Sprague

Like Bing Crosby‘s “White Christmas,” Nat Cole’s “The Christmas Song” stands as one of two or three pillars of holiday music. This collection of songs and greetings includes another technologically induced daughter-father duet on Mel Torme‘s classic hit as well daddy Cole’s 1961 version of the tune. Fans of both Natalie and her dad will put this on the top of their wish lists. Two previously unreleased tracks–”God Rest Ye Merry Gentleman” and “O Come All Ye Faithful”–will prompt a lot of lovers of Christmas music to fall in love again with Cole’s incomparable style and timeless voice. –Martin Keller

Joy to the World [ORIGINAL RECORDING REMASTERED]
Amazon.com
The Mormon Tabernacle Choir sets the tone for what Christmas albums should sound like, and Joy to the World upholds their exacting standard of excellence. Re-released from two concerts recorded in 1970 and 1977 and repacked with three bonus tracks, this collection is as perfect as it gets, thanks to pristine production, gorgeous vocal arrangements, and stately accompaniment by the Philadelphia Brass Ensemble, the Philadelphia Orchestra, and the Columbia Symphony Orchestra. This record will set the mood for reveling, both with more contemporary carols, like “Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas” and “The Christmas Song,” and sacred numbers, such as Handel’s “Hallelujah Chorus” and “O Holy Night.” Joy to the World qualifies as an essential yuletide album. –Jaan Uhelszki

Be My Valentine, Charlie Brown (Remastered Deluxe Edition)
Be My Valentine, Charlie Brown (Remastered Deluxe Edition)
BE MY VALENTINE CHARLIE BROWN DE – DVD Movie”Peanuts” creator Charles Schulz retired from the cartoonist’s life early in 2000, and indeed left a few loose strings hanging among his chronically dissatisfied characters. He never did, for instance, cut Charlie Brown much slack in the romance department (or let him kick Lucy’s football, for that matter). Sympathetic readers might have taken note of a story in the press just before Schulz said farewell, in which the inspiration for Charlie Brown’s unrequited love interest–the never-seen, too-distant, “little red-haired girl”–was identified as a woman who turned down a marriage proposal from Schultz a half-century ago. That bit of biographical detail now adds poignancy to Be My Valentine, Charlie Brown, a 1975 television special built upon years of Valentine’s Day “Peanuts” strips. This half-hour show finds Charlie Brown suffering, typically, the ignominy of receiving no hearts-and-flowers greetings while the rest of the gang, including Snoopy, spend their day sorting through piles of love notes. Worse, Schulz’s famous sad sack can’t get up the nerve to approach his unapproachable angel, though there may be–just may be–a glimmer of hope this time around. It may be Valentine’s Day, but not much else is different in the “Peanuts” neighborhood. –Tom Keogh
On the DVD
The 2008 remastered DVD has the two additional specials that were on the previous DVD, You’re in Love, Charlie Brown (1967), in which our hero tries to meet the little red-haired girl, and It’s Your First Kiss, Charlie Brown (1977), a vastly more complex production that has two focuses for CB: win the big football even though Lucy keeps pulling the ball away, and escort–and kiss–the little red-haired girl to the homecoming ball. New for 2008 is a 15-minute featurette on the theme of unrequited love in the “Peanuts” world, with interviews of the Schulz family, Lee Mendelson, and others. –David Horiuchi
