Tony Bennett has recorded 2 full-length Christmas albums in his long and storied career--"Snowfall: The Tony Bennett Christmas Album" from 1968 and "A Swingin' Christmas" from 2008. Now most any artist would give his eye teeth for just one Christmas album of that caliber, but Tony has been around long enough to have other holiday resources from which to draw. Don't forget the Hallmark "Christmas With Tony Bennett and the London Symphony Orchestra" album from 2002 (from whence I suspect most of the more religious carols were drawn). Then there was the album Tony recorded with Placido Domingo, Charlotte Church and Vanessa Williams (it's easy to pick out the representative track here taken from that set). Tony also recorded a few tracks for the Goodyear "Great Songs Of Christmas" series and I believe at least one of those wasn't included on any of Tony's other Christmas collections (namely "What Child Is This"). And what of "Christmas In Herald Square"? Well, you might be one of the millions who has lived unaware of a little children's album Tony recorded in 1998 (complete with Muppets on a couple of tracks), "The Playground". About the only thing I don't see represented here is Tony's "duet" with The Manhattan Transfer.
The Complete Tony Bennett Christmas recordings will come one day. Until then, this is a pretty nice collection of Tony Bennett gems for your holiday listening pleasure.
