What I consider to be good Christmas music is somewhat limited. Christmas “musac” played in many department stores this time of year are definitely second tier selections in my book. I was looking over some of my past recommendations and I see where those blog posts were not widely read. Here are references to some of my favorite CDs.
Counterpoint, Vermont Symphony Brass Quintet – Christmas in Vermont
As long-time readers know, I am a big fan of Robert Shaw. Here are a few recommendations.
These three recommendations will get you started for the season and it leaves room for more selections.

Lowell,
Thanks for the recommendation about the Vermont Symphony Counterpoint. I stopped buying CDs several years ago in favor of Spotify. I’m listening to the album there as I write this and it is up to your adulation. Readers like me who are Spotify subscribers will be gratified to know it’s available there.

John,
Pleased to know you found it and are enjoying the music. Hope to can locate the Robert Shaw renditions as well.
