, The Sixteen, ...
Coro, 2005
This recording celebrates some of Britten's finest choral music for Christmas, together with his Missa Brevis. It is headed by the much-loved A Ceremony of Carols, a masterpeice composed on board ship as Britten returned to England from the U.S.A. in 1942. The telling use of the harp as accompaniment helps to suggest a touching evocation of ...

The most beautiful music--and not just for Christmas!
If you like Medieval and Renaissance music you will absolutely love this CD. I bought it as a Christmas CD years ago and I listen to it year around. The harmonies are beautiful. I have given it to friends for presents. I have CDs of music from this time period but this ...

Exquisite, with glimpses of a transcendental beauty
I can't believe it. This is the first "Christmas" disc I ever bought and am still regularly listening to ... nine months post-holiday, now! This collection is replete with sparks of worship and awe. The festive jaunt embarks on a well-executed, majestic baroque ...

HANDEL AGONISTES
The genesis of Handel's Samson seems to have been a reading of Milton's Samson Agonistes at the home of Lord Shaftesbury in late 1739. It seems that Handel was visibly impressed, as well he might have been. However the actual composition of the work did not begin until ...

Another Messiah? YES!
I asked myself when I was buying this my Twelveth recording of Handel's Messiah, why did I want another one? First of all you have Harry Christophers and the Sixteen involved which means a really top notch performance is in store. Second an impressive line-up of ...

Fantastic deal, and quality much better than expected!
Since the "2000" Bach edition is fantastically expensive (around $1200), I decided to bite the bullet and go with this brand, at about 1/10 the price. I have read various reviews, many of which were of mixed quality, even accounting for the lower price. I have now ...
Renaissance: Music For Inner Peace
The Sixteen
Decca, 2005
Great Music, Fine Performances
First off, the title of this album is misleading. Only one of the tracks stems from the high Renaisance. The rest span from the Reformation period to contemporary. All of them are liturgical, all of a certain calm and meditative style--which could be inferred from ...

Decca, 2007
Japan's Greatest Guitarist
It is a sad fact that Muraji Kaori is not well known in the US. She is easily Japan's greatest classical guitarist. I've recently started listening to people like Andres Segovia, Christpher Parkening, Julian Bream, Sharon Isbin, and John Williams. I would include ...

Infinite variety
I first heard a track from this album on BBC Radio 3: it was Treble Bob, Sixteen In, and it was magical. But when I came to hear the whole album, it is thematically all over the place. Beautiful ringing, but it doesn't seem sure of its audience. I'd love to hear an ...
