Prime Time Radio's holiday special features the beautiful bells of the National Cathedral's Carillon. Six years after host Mike Cuthbert's first visit to the bell tower, he goes back to talk with the Cathedral's master carillonneur Edward Nassor. Nassor describes the history, traditions, and workings of the magnificent bells as he plays seasonal and other music--from Tchaikovsky to Duke Ellington. A season for music, on this edition of Prime Time Radio.

Review of A Carillon Bells Christmas
I am fascinated by carillons and bells with the variety of tones which they can produce. The interview was an interesting mix of carillon lore and anecdote, ranging from the difference between pulled bells and the carillon to the host's wedding.. However, I would have preferred a shorter chat and a little more music. The music was rich and relatively unusual; it included jazz as well as more traditional pieces.
