As you might imagine, recording takes time. We started Christmas in July here at Octave to make sure we had two great albums available for the season. We’ve been anticipating sharing these two very different albums with you. Not only do they capture feelings of nostalgia and fun, but the recording quality is something to be proud of! 

The Spirit of Christmas by Alfredo Muro is a classical guitar recording, captured in DSD256 by Paul McGowan. The realism of the guitar is outstanding and I have listened to it many times already, even though I usually save Christmas music for December. With classics like White Christmas and Silent Night, I think you’ll find yourself putting this elegant performance on repeat at your Christmas party this year. 

Charlie Brown Goes to The Nutcracker by Ron LeGault Quintet is a playful and whimsical collection of music that is perfect for the whole family. Ron created the story of a Charlie Brown Christmas adventure and arranged music by Vince Guaraldi and Tschaikovsky for his jazz quintet. This one will take you back to your childhood and hopefully encourage the next generation of little audiophiles to start enjoying music that is well recorded and played on a great system. 

Add our first Octave Christmas albums to your personal collection and however you celebrate, I hope you have a wonderful season full of love, light and music!
