From the Press Release
On October 22, the Boston Pops will release its first all-live Holiday CD, A Boston Pops Christmas - Live From Symphony Hall, under the direction of conductor Keith Lockhart, with the acclaimed Tanglewood Festival Chorus, and powerhouse vocalist Melinda Doolittle, an American Idol finalist. A Boston Pops Christmas - Live From Symphony Hall, was recorded live at concerts during the 2011 and 2012 Holiday Pops seasons in Boston's Symphony Hall, widely considered one of the top concert halls in the world. The new album is the orchestra’s first seasonal recording since the release of Sleigh Ride in 2004.

“As we started planning the repertoire for our holiday album, we set ourselves the goal of capturing the incredible spirit of the live concert experience of the Holiday Pops tradition that takes place every December at Symphony Hall,” said Boston Pops Conductor Keith Lockhart.

“By recording the album live and presenting the musical selections in a way that relates to the actual concert experience, our hope is to share our tradition with music fans in Boston, throughout New England, and across the country. We’re also thrilled to have a chance to share two relatively new arrangements that have become audience favorites—the Boston Pops’s very own ‘The Twelve Days of Christmas,’ and ‘Dr. Seuss’s How the Grinch Stole Christmas,’ as well as the amazing vocals of American Idol finalist Melinda Doolittle who sings a beautiful arrangement of Christmas spirituals.”

A presale starting on Monday, October 14, will waive the shipping costs for the “A Boston Pops Christmas – Live From Symphony Hall” at www.bostonpops.org or by calling 888-266-1200. Starting October 22, the album will be available for $17.95 as a CD, $9.99 as a download in MP3 format, $10.99 in stereo hi-def, or $13.99 in 5.1 surround, by visiting www.bostonpops.org, calling 888-266-1200, or through iTunes, Amazon, and Amazon MP3.
