Ella Fitzgerald Ella Wishes You a Swinging Christmas SHM-SACD

In 1960, Ella Fitzgerald recorded this swinging Christmas album for Verve. The jazz queen interprets classic secular Christmas carols in a wide variety of moods, from the cheerful and upbeat "Santa Claus Is Coming To Town" to the wistful "What Are You Doing New Year's Eve" to the cheeky "Frosty The Snowman". A studio orchestra arranged and conducted by Frank DeVol skilfully accompanies the singer. Warm-hearted and without exaggerated kitsch, a perfect shot for the most atmospheric time of the year.
This title is an SHM-SACD. This format is the further development of the single-layer SACD and uses a particularly light-transparent plastic (S uper High Material). This results in significantly better readability of the pit-land structures on the surface than is possible with hybrid SACDs. Universal's SHM-SACDs are generally digitized from the master tapes of the albums to DSD without any changes. SHM-SACDs can be played on any SACD player. Please note: All titles are designed by Universal Music as limited edition collector's items for the Japanese market.
