Decca's double-disc Simply Christmas collection is a reverent, solid, non-secular tool for installing yuletide cheer. Standards like "Sleigh Ride," "Deck the Hall," and "Oh Tannenbaum" sit side by side with the somber "In the Bleak Midwinter" and "Ave Maria," glued together by church organs, choirs, and heavyweight such as Plácido Domingo, Luciano Pavarotti, Joan Sutherland, and The Choir of King's College, Cambridge.
