The Golden Sound Of Christmas – Klaus Wunderlich Tribute

 

Christmas Hits & Traditional Carols, played by Bill Tustain on the Hammond H112 organ in the style of Klaus Wunderlich.

Back in 1975 Klaus released the “Weihnachten Mit Klaus Wunderlich” album featuring the warm rich sounds of the Hammond H organ but most of the tracks were not familiar in the UK. This tribute attempts to re-create that unique sound and playing style using more well known hits and carols. I hope you enjoy listening.

The Track listings are as follows:

Side 1:

  1. Sleigh Ride
  2. MEDLEY: Silent Night / Away In A Manger / The First Nowell
  3. Winter Wonderland
  4. Jingle Bells Carols Medley
  5. Walking In The Air / Bleak Mid Winter
  6. Last Christmas / Marys Boy Child
  7. Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas / White Christmas
