Nice surprise...
Some of the first music I purchased years ago at Costco, taking a gamble on the quality of pieces chosen, orchestrations, etc..
This remains among some of my favorite collections, as the music is beautiful, rich, and well-done. I ended up buying it about 8 yrs later for my sister b/c she loved it so much.

Xmas classics plus 40's swing/big band remixes=favorite CD
Everyone needs a CD or two of holiday music to put on in the background over dinner or during a party. This one has lots of the classics- Jingle Bells, O Christmas Tree etc, but it also starts and ends with some truly superb big band remixes of The Nutcracker Suite, by the Les Brown Orchestra (a long track that sumarizes most of the entire thing) and, shorter and hotter, the Dance of the Sugar Plum Faries by the Larry Clinton Orchestra.

If you like Benny Goodman, Charlie Christian, Jango Rheinhardt, this will be the best money you've ever spent.
