Music Of The Crusades
Geoffrey Shaw, Anonymous, ...

Decca, 1991

A trip through history
The time of the Crusades spanned several centuries, from the time Pope Urban II called upon Christendom to fight for Jerusalem until the thirteenth century (this does not include the numerous minor, unnumbered crusades, sometimes against other Christians). The ...
  
  











  



  
Now Make We Merthe
Geoffrey Shaw, John Frost, ...

Boston Skyline, 1994

Quite charming
This material ranges from the superlative to the dull. But the vast majority is delightful, winningly sung and played, with the big names of that era featured: Simon Preston, Ian Partridge, Robert Tear, and the incomparable David Munrow. This CD is the contents of two ...
  
  











  



  
A Mormon Tabernacle Choir Christmas
George Frideric Handel, Mykola Dmytrovich Leontovych, ...

Telarc, 2001

Is this the best Christmas album ever recorded?
There have been so many Christmas albums over the years, when I saw this I thought 'Oh no, not another one?' Then I looked at the track titles and saw that this was something different. Among the traditional carols there were many unfamiliar titles (I say this as a ...

Christopher Keyte, Geoffrey Shaw, ...

Christmas With the Mormon Tabernacle Choir (Hybr)

Vaughan Williams: The Collector's Edition
Benjamin Luxon, Brian Etheridge, ...

EMI Classics, 2008

Great Value, Fine Performances
For lovers of Ralph Vaughan Williams' music, the prospect of obtaining most of his works on 30 CDs for $50 or less should be irresistible. It's a great way to fill in the gaps in your collection, or to become acquainted with RVW's less familiar works. Among the ...
  
  











  



  
Ponchielli: La Gioconda
Amilcare Ponchielli, Bruno Bartoletti, ...

Decca, 2005

One of the Best Recordings of This Work At Midprice!!
LA GIOCONDA is like junk food. People love it but are afraid to admit it. Now one of the best recordings of the work has been re-released at midprice. I remember first being introduced to the opera when PBS did a mini-series about the famous San Francisco staging ...
  
  











  



  
Ce Diabolic Chant: Ballades, Rondeaus & Virelais of the late fourteenth century
Geoffrey Shaw, Michael George, ...

L'oiseau-Lyre, 2007
  
  











  



  
Vaughan Williams: The Pilgrim's Progress
Richard Angas, Geoffrey Shaw, ...

Angel Records, 2005

Faithful presentation of Bunyan's classic
Vaughan Williams' hymns and religious works leave many Christian compositions for dead. [Not bad for an avowed agnostic!] I loved the Matthew Best version, with narration by the superb John Gielgud. The use of the Thomas Tallis Fantasia music was one of the things ...
  
  











  



  
Christmas Goes Baroque, Vol. 2
Irving Berlin, J. Fred Coots, ...

Naxos, 1994

Essential Christmas Music
This album is wonderful. The blending of classical baroque pieces with original Christmas carols is a wonderful idea. My favorite is track number 3, "White Christmas." Take a listen!
  
  











  



  
The Complete New English Hymnal, Vol. 18
William Boyce, Percy Buck, ...

Priory Records UK, 2004
  
  











  



  
Sweet Music of Christmas
Franz Xaver Gruber, Gustav Holst, ...

Koch Records, 2007

WOW GREAT RECORDING!!!
This CD has some great repertoire and the students from The University of Texas sound amazing!
  
  











  



  
My Soul Doth Magnify the Lord
Hugh Blair, Herbert Brewer, ...

Hyperion UK, 1992

A Sumptuous Feast
Unlike its sister CD, "My Spirit Hath Rejoiced", this recording makes little attempt at delicacy of selections. This is one majestic setting after another. My personal favourites are Stanford in C, Wesley in E, and Brewer in D. Each of these seems to out-dazzle its ...
  
  











  



  
Music for Ferdinand and Isabella of Spain
Geoffrey Shaw, Oliver Brookes, ...

Testament UK, 2004

Splendid
David Munrow turned me on to early music thirty-five years ago. His entire work was produced on CD format about ten years ago. One can only wonder what would have happened to music if not for his untimely death. Anything done by him is well worth the price.
