mmmm -- we've got the Pavarotti (I think everyone does, right?
) but I don't know the Yo-Yo Ma album. Guess I should look into it. -

It is a very interesting selection of music, well recorded, and carefully sequenced on the CD to make the whole coherent.
Nice music, as you would expect from the artists performing on the CD and from the organizer Yo-Yo Ma.Family Room, Innuos Statement streamer (Roon Core) with Morrow Audio USB cable to McIntosh MC 2700 pre with DC2 Digital Audio Module; AQ Sky XLRs to CAT 600.2 dualmono amp, Morrow Elite Speaker Cables to NOLA Baby Grand Reference Gold 3 speakers. Power source for all components: Silver Circle Audio Pure Power One with dedicated 20 amp circuit to main panel.
Exercise Room, Innuos Streamer via Cat 6 cable connection to PS Audio PerfectWave MkII DAC w/Bridge II, AQ King Cobra RCAs to Perreaux PMF3150 amp (fully restored and upgraded by Jeffrey Jackson, Precision Audio Labs), Supra Rondo 4x2.5 Speaker Cables to SDA 1Cs (Vr3 Mods Xovers and other mods.), Dreadnaught with Supra Rondo 4x2.5 interconnect cables by Vr3 Mods. Power for each component from dedicated 20 amp circuit to main panel, except Innuos Statement powered from Silver Circle Audio Pure Power One. -
Speaking of Christmas music
I'll refrain from recommending the entire album (I like it, but I realize that the artist is one of them guys that a lotta folks don't exactly care for), but I will recommend giving a listen to Sting's rendition of a truly, wonderfully bizarre old Christmas song known as The Cherry Tree Carol.
The story is as good as the song, and (FWIW) I really like Mr. Sumner's version of it.

No one has mentioned "The Great One" from 1966.

Another funky jazz Christmas one from 1996. Boney James.
