 | Songs of Angels - Christmas Hymns and Carols [Read More ...] Review: all the songs sound the same:Everything is well sung, but the whole CD sounds the same. There's almost a militant quality to the way the songs are sung -so regimented, no character, no variation, no stand-out soloists. I was hoping to hear a little more 4-part harmony and less s... |
 | Sing We Christmas [Read More ...] Description: Christmas is the season for whipping out those holiday-specific standard recordings. This splendid gift by Chanticleer should top the list, for one will never tire of this a cappella choir's interpretations. With selections spanning the last five centuries of Latin, German, Engli... |
 | The Most Relaxing Classical Music in the Universe [Read More ...] Review: Excellent selection!:This CD compilation lives up to its titled billing: it IS the most relaxing classical music in the universe! A caveat, however: consider the source of this opinion. My classical music background derives from a single music appreciation class at LSU-Baton Ro... |
 | Spirit of The Season: Christmas with Sissel and The Mormon Tabernacle Choir [Read More ...] Description: Music critics have called her voice 'ethereal,' 'pristine' and 'captivating.' Throughout her career, Norwegian-born singing sensation Sissel has performed with a variety of artists whose styles range from folk to jazz and from rock to hip-hop. She has sung for royalty and shared ... |
 | The Joy of Christmas [Read More ...] Review: Memories from Childhood:Oh Joy! This is a favorite musical memory from my childhood at Christmas time! It has been added to with selections from the Nutcracker (another Fav), but still carries the wonderful sound of the Mormon Tabernacle Choir as I remember them back in the 60's ... |
 | Angel Voices [Read More ...] Description: There's very little to say about this recording of ethereally beautifully singing by the 24 young English lads who make up the group Libera. Enormously popular in Asia, the group is part of a parish choir in South London that has been around for many years, with of course, change... |
 | Jessye Norman - Christmastide [Read More ...] Review: A Beautiful Christmas CD....:A mix of the sublime traditional Christmas music from one of the finest singers in the world.

 | Voice of an Angel [Read More ...] Description: Those leery and weary of tasteless crossover need not shudder at the sight of this disc, which has sold over half a million copies in Europe. There's none of the softcore kiddie porn that came with Vanessa-Mae or the heavily packaged faux romanticism of Andrea Bocelli. (That of ... |
 | Free [Read More ...] Description: English composer Robert Prizeman has taken a conventional English boy's choir--usually a haven for sweet songs and ecclesiastical renderings--and made them contemporary without selling out any of their intrinsic charm. Their stacked choral voices and lead sopranos, dressed up wit... |
 | Angel Voices: Libera In Concert [Read More ...] Review: Outstanding boys choir :Outstanding! I love the music of boy's choirs, but so often the CDs also contain a lot of symphony, adult choirs, adult soloists, etc.... I don't want all that extra stuff, just the beauty of boys' voices. This is it! It's a bit comtemporary at times, ... |
 | #1 Christmas Album [Read More ...] Review: THE BEST!!!:I am the proud owner of at least thirty Christmas CD's.

 | Christmas At Trinity [Read More ...] Review: Sublime!:I mistakenly bought this CD thinking it was a reprint of an LP of Christmas carols that my parents played when I was a child. What a happy accident this was! The singing is beautiful, the arrangements are well-crafted and the sound is lush and warm.
These are indeed th... |
 | Time Life Presents: Classical Thunder [Read More ...] Review: Classical Thunder ROCKS:This CD contains the classical music that baby boomers recognize from movies and TV when we were young. It is a fun listen when you don't want to hear the chatter on the radio or to sing along. When you hear the William Tell Overture you can see Hopalong C... |
 | Marches: Greatest Hits [Read More ...] Review: For Water Aerobics, a Top-Ten CD:I provide music for water aerobics classes.
