{"product_id":"tony-bennett-snowfall-the-tony-bennett-christmas-album","title":"Tony Bennett - Snowfall: The Tony Bennett Christmas Album","description":"\u003cp\u003eTony Bennett waited until 1968, deep into his Columbia years, to make a Christmas record, and when he finally did he made it with Robert Farnon, the arranger whose sweeping string writing had already defined so much of the era's easy-listening sound. The pairing gives \u003cem\u003eSnowfall\u003c\/em\u003e a warmth and sophistication that set it apart from the crowded shelf of crooner holiday albums.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe title track, Claude Thornhill's dreamy instrumental standard, opens the record with Bennett floating over Farnon's orchestra, and from there the album moves easily between jazz-inflected readings of \"My Favorite Things\" and \"The Christmas Song,\" a swinging \"Santa Claus Is Coming to Town,\" and a long, inventive medley that threads \"Silent Night\" and \"Jingle Bells\" through \"Where Is Love?\" from \u003cem\u003eOliver!\u003c\/em\u003e. Side two closes with \"Winter Wonderland\" and a tender \"Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is a record built on phrasing rather than spectacle, and that is exactly why it has aged so well: Bennett's voice at full strength, with an orchestra that knows when to stay out of his way.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis remastered Columbia\/Legacy reissue presents the original ten-track album on black vinyl.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"AMS","offers":[{"title":"Vinyl","offer_id":50631146700962,"sku":null,"price":27.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0633\/5024\/3490\/files\/3994710-2752030.jpg?v=1792090705","url":"https:\/\/staticatx.com\/es\/products\/tony-bennett-snowfall-the-tony-bennett-christmas-album","provider":"Static ATX","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
