I actually agree with Harry.
I've listened to both tonight many times, I brought up files in Audacity of both the Como Special and the German Christmas Portrait and Carol of the Bells sounds like a different piano version on the Como special.
If you listen closely at 20 seconds to 27 seconds and at 1:17 to 1:23 I hear Richard playing a bit differently. The CD version the piano pressure of the keys is much more pronounced, direct and uniform but on the Como show I hear some irregularities in his pressure and also timing. You have to really listen to each side by side to hear it. I don't think they are exactly the same.
