The Greatest Hits of a Pioneer Ensemble
For years, Tallis Scholars have been quietly revolutionizing our recovery of sacred music. This is their "greatest hits" collection and quite great indeed. The Miserere which begins the set is alone worth the price of the set. The only fault with it is that it is so ...

Catholic Latin Classics

Richard Yeo, Gregorio Allegri, ...

Gia Publications, 2000

Catholic music as it was meant to be
With the release of Pope Benedict XIV's Motu Proprio and the Summurum Pontificum, I hope we will see a return of such beautiful music to the Mass. The "Panis Angelicus", by tenor John Eskola, is sublime and the "Adoremus Te, Christe", brings tears to my eyes, as does ...

100 Best Film Classics

Claudio Desderi, Eberhard Wächter, ...

Angel Records, 2006

I'm Hooked
As I type the words to this review, I am listening to Nessun dorma (Puccini, Turandof) over and over again from the CD collection I am now writing about. Good music is supposed to inspire, and this one inspires. This six CD collection is from Best Film 100: The ...

Mozart's Magnificent Voyage

Various Artists, Mitchell Clarke, ...

Children's Group, 1998

Mesmerized and moved mom to tears
This CD is awesome, the music great, the story captivating. But it's Mozart, you already know about the music. Other reviewers have already discussed the story and I agree with their assessments that it's very good. The reason for this review is to say that my very ...

Great Choral Classics from King's Choir of King's College, Cambridge

Bernard Richards, Kenneth Heath, ...

Decca, 1998

Absolutely glorious!
These musical performances are done with consummate artistry. The attack, the phrasing, the tempi, the interpretations are all presented with professionalism and first-rate musicianship. The organ and the setting, as well as choir and director, are associated ...

The Most Relaxing Classical Album In the World Ever, Volume II

Yehudi Menuhin, Jacqueline Du Pre, ...

EMI Classics, 2003

Great music listein to while you read in bed

Sacred Classics - Messiah, Ave Maria, Pie Jesu, Zadok the Priest, L'enfance du Christ

George Frideric Handel, Johann Sebastian Bach, ...

EMI Classics, 2003

A wonderful and varied compilation of Sacred Choral Works
This is a 2 CD set and is one of my favorites. While this CD contains several pieces that the general public probably hears often (Handel's Messiah, Bach's Jesu Bleibet mein freund) it also contains some not well known pieces. Of particular quality is the recording ...

The Music of St. Paul's Cathedral

Timothy Jones, Gregorio Allegri, ...

Hyperion UK, 2000

LACK OF DICTION?!!!
Obviously the individual who wrote the review including the "marred by lack of diction" remark is not too familiar with the traditional boychoir sound. I am moved to sickness that they were so openly compared with the sound of the all-too-familiar MTC. THOSE WERE ...

Agnus Dei: Music of Inner Harmony: The Choir of New College Oxford

Eamon Dougan, Gregorio Allegri, ...

Erato, 1997

Wow!
I'm a long-time listener of all things rock-'n-roll, from Classic rock, to Alternative, and even a little Metal. I first heard this CD while having dinner at a friends house a long time ago, and I loved it. I've always been enchanted with choir music, so I bought ...

Best Classics 100 Volume 1

Ernest Blanc, John Shirley-Quirk, ...

Angel Records, 2006

Good and inexpensive collection
EMI's Best Classics 100 provides six CDs with seven hours of selected classical music. The cover does a poor job of portraying who does the selecting and who performs the piece -- information inside however does detail the symphonies being recorded. Recordings from ...

100 Best Baroque

Bernard Deletre, Josep-Miquel Ramon i Monzó, ...

EMI Classics, 2006

Great value, if slightly substandard recordings, for classical newbie
"100 Best Baroque" is what it seems - a compilation of the 100 definitive Baroque compositions. For a very low price you get a complete overview of the Baroque style, and while the sound quality of the recordings will not satisfy a serious student or fan of classical ...

Essential Choral Classics

James Morris, John Shirley-Quirk, ...

Decca, 2006

Choral Classics
Choral Classics is a masterpiece for those who enjoy good choral music. Perfect for a relaxing time with a good cup of coffee and a comfortable chair.
