SLEIGH RIDE (Leroy Anderson) - Boston Pops Orchestra/Keith Lockhart
Here is Leroy Anderson's famous Christmastime light music gem 'Sleigh Ride'' given a 2004 treatment by the Boston Pops Orchestra conducted by Keith Lockhart. Leroy Anderson (1908-1975) spent a significant portion of his working life as Music Director for the Boston Pops under Arthur Fiedler while recording and conducting with his own orchestra. John Williams once described Anderson s 'one of the great American masters ofl light orchestral music'. No argument there. Keith Alan Lockhart (born November 7, 1959) is the current conductor of the Boston Pops Orchestra, the Chief Guest Conductor of the BBC Concert Orchestra, and the Artistic Director of the Brevard Music Center in North Carolina. Keith Lockhart has been conductor of the Boston Pops since 1995 when he took over from John Williams who became Laureate Conductor. This recording is from a Boston Pops Music compact disc (BP 0002) issued in 2004.
