Help - Looking for good Choirs or Orchestras for Xmas Music!

I'm looking for any choirs or orchestras that do Christmas music. Please comment with your suggestions.

I already have on the list:
Mormon Tabernacle
Boston Tabernacle
Mannheim Steamroller
Vienna Boys Choir

Kings College Choir, in particular, is awesome. I don't like the Mormon Tabernacle Choir at all -- their sound is huge, bloated, mushy.

The English choirs (to my ears) are too hooty and strangulated. In addition, they have this bad habit (style?) of exploding beginning and
final consonants in words (granted, there are degrees to this, and King's is less-aggregious than others).

The conductor Andrew Parrot did some interesting Xmas albums on EMI. Unfortunately, they're now out of print (as are most classical albums over
5 inutes old).

Here's agood link to Xmas albums that feature choirs. Take a look:

I'm not crazy about the German style, myself; but then I've been kind of indoctrinated into the English style for quite awhile, having sung in an Episcopal cathedral choir for years. The German choirs sound kind of screechy at the high end, to me; and their tenors are warbly. But I'll take either over the mushy bombast of the Mormon Tabernacle.

The Vince Guaraldi Trio did all the music for the Charlie Brown Christmas shows.

He was THE dean of American choral conductors until his death in 1999. His early career was as an RCA artist with his self-named "Robert Shaw Chorale." He did some spectacular Xmas recordings with that group, all of which were released by the BMG Record Club and the Musical Heritage Soociety in a 2-CD set called "Christmas with the Robert Shaw Chorale." I don't know if those CDs are around any more (you can read a review of that set here: http://classicstoday.com/review.asp?ReviewNum=3894).

In the 1980s, Shaw started on a recording contract with Telarc records. He won a bunch of Grarmys and re-did his old Xmas albums. You can find most of them here:

In particular, Song of Angels, Angels on High and his two recordings of Handel's Messiah, one on RCA and one on Telarc (both are still available on CD).

Listened to "Angels on High" just yesterday. Also have "Songs of Angels" around here somewhere...

the Mormon Tabernacle Choir was on PBS last night. they were dynamite.

His Christmas music arrangements are really cool.
