This program, when originally released for national distribution through the WFMT Radio Network, was called "Christmas Music for Those Who Are Sick and Tired of Christmas Music." Featured is the rarely heard but delightful "Santa Claus Symphony" by William Henry Fry, the first native-born American to compose for large symphonic forces. Tony Rowe conducts the Royal Scottish National Orchestra in this world-premiere recording.
