Mannheim Steamroller has a new CD called Christmas Song. The Amazon reviews are mixed.
One of the best oldies I've heard recently is Christmas Portrait: Special Edition, by The Carpenters. The Amazon reviews are uniformly top-of-the-line. Two of the more interesting tracks are medleys: one of Here Comes Santa Claus/Frosty The Snowman/Rudolph The Red-Nosed Reindeer/Good King Wenceslas and the other Winter Wonderland/Silver Bells/White Christmas. Since I think Karen Carpenter had one of the most emotive voices of the 70s, I like this. This one was released in 1986, presumably when Richard Carpenter was culling through tracks on tapes years after Karen died.
