This is a His masters voice record from dark times;
Christmas 1917...
It was actually recorded July 7th (!) 1917
Imagine... mids in the summer of that terrible war
four singers and an organist
sing merry Christmas songs......
The Minster choir (ao Ernest Pike ) , conducted by
mr. Vivian Bennets sing:
Stainer's "Sweet Christmas bell's", and
Bridge (not Frank!) "Christmas bells".
I loved this 78 rpm very much in my early teens, and played it a lot on my suitcase gramophone...
For three's a company fans, the organ is played by Stanley Roper... :)

Classical music lovers,
take note! The 1950's lp archive of the Dutch Radio has been uploaded!
Sorry for all American viewers, only non-Americans can download...
(He! It's your legislation that did that...!) Other people can go to:

And download till they drop!

Merry christmas! Vrolijk kerstfeest!
