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 ...
  
  











  



  
The Big Picture
David Arnold, John Debney, ...

Telarc, 2005

Hold on to your woofers!
Great album with an esoteric mix: from the the Navy Hymn(Chrimson Tide) to rich orchestrations (Braveheart and Gettysburg) it has something for everyone. If you have broad taste, you'll love this one but be warned- some of these tracks could turn older speakers into ...
  
  











  



  
The English Anthem, Vol. 5
Christopher Royall, Charles Gibbs, ...

Hyperion UK, 1995

Splendid Stuff!
From the opening fanfares of Parry's "I was Glad" to the glorious conclusion of Elgar's "Great is the Lord", this volume of the superb English Anthem series from Hyperion is richly worthy and representative of its prestigious choir, choirmaster, cathedral, and record ...
  
  











  



  
Rachel Portman - The Little Prince / Rhodes, Garrett, Randle, White, McManners, Carlin, Jones, Zambello, ...
Teddy Tahu Rhodes, Joseph McManners

Sony, 2005

Excellent Artistic Interpretation
Antoine de Saint-Exupery's classic book (which I have reviewed) has spawned many adaptations, including a Lerner & Lowe musical, a claymation version, a short-lived animated series, and finally the opera by Rachel Portman. Portman's opera, in my opinion, is the best ...
  
  











  



  
Rutter: Requiem
Susan Dorey, John Rutter, ...

Naxos, 2003

A glorious piece
--Music-- Rutter's Requiem was written in 1985. In Catholic liturgy, a requiem is a Mass for the Dead, and as such involves strong tones both of mourning and loss as well as elements of hope and eternal life as reflected in Christian belief. Rutter states that, like ...
  
  











  



  
Fuchs: Canticle to the Sun / United Artists
Kenneth Fuchs, JoAnn Falletta, ...

Naxos American Classics, 2008

Undemanding but not shallow
Kenneth Fuchs is currently head of the music department at the University of Connecticut and has, as the CD tells us, written for orchestra, band, chorus, jazz ensemble, and chamber ensembles. On the evidence of this disc, he produces music that's undemanding of its ...
  
  











  



  
John Rutter: Mass of the Children
Jeremy Huw Williams, John Rutter, ...

Naxos, 2006

The Chamber Orchestra Version of Rutter's 'Mass of the Children'
It is fashionable in some circles to deride the music of John Rutter because of its strong popular appeal, and indeed it may be true that Rutter is the John Stainer of our era. That is, his music is simple enough to be taken up by amateur groups, church and lay alike, ...
  
  











  



  
Giovanni Gabrieli: Music For San Rocco
Charles Pott, Donald Greig, ...

Archiv Produktion, 1996

Good Second Choice
This recording was made only a year before La Fenice's "Giovanni Gabrieli: In Festo Sanctissimae Trinitatis". Thus for one year it was probably the best CD of Gabrieli on the market. It's still an attractive performance, with some tracks that are luscious and a few ...
  
  











  



  
A Venetian Coronation 1595
Charles Pott, Peter Harvey, ...

Angel Records, 2002

Superb reconstruction, glorious sound, overwhelming beauty
This 1989 recording for Virgin Classics is the one that made Paul McCreesh and his Gabrieli Consort and Players famous. And what a superb disc it is! Although it is no longer possible to establish exactly what music was played at the coronation of the Doge of Venice in ...
  
  











  



  
Holst: Orchestral Works
Timothy Hugh, Gustav Holst, ...

Naxos, 1998

" Nax-HOLST " . . .
Holst: Orchestral Works [Naxos 8553696] A wonderful cd program with Lloyd-Jones conducting a competent orchestra. The choice offers some lesser-known compositions by the man who brought the 20th century with great music, such as the original Suite 'The Planets' and ...
  
  











  



  
Christmas Mass in Rome
Christopher Purves, Paul McCreesh, ...

Polygram Records, 1993

Why this one is no longer produced i have no idea...
Next to the Praetorius Mass (OUTSTANDING recording...), this is my favorite recording by McCreesh and the Gabrielis (I have 10 or so of their recordings). As this recording is no longer produced (deleted from dg's catalog, in fact - a REAL shame), i paid through the ...
  
  











  



  
A Traditional Christmas Carol Collection
Christopher Hodges, Francis Steele, ...

Coro, 2006

First Rate
I wish amazon.com had put audio samples on their site for this CD. I went to the Barnes & Noble site and listened to their samples and bought it on the spot. This is traditional Christmas music you might hear at a Christmas Eve church service. Very nice arrangements ...

Meredith Willson's The Music Man (1991 Studio Cast)
Meredith Willson, Michael Bell, ...

Telarc, 1991

Susan Stroman Never Fails!
If you like musicals, buy this CD. It is THE best Music Man cast recording of all time for one main reason; Susan Stroman (many Tony awards) directed it. Since Susan is a choreographer as well as a director she included dance music on this recording. It is great to ...
  
  











  



  
Venetian Vespers (Monteverdi * Rigatti * Grandi * Cavalli) /Gabrieli Consort & Players * McCreesh
Research Composer, Giovanni Antonio Rigatti, ...

Polygram Records, 1993

An amazing reproduction of 17th century Vespers
Paul McCreesh and his Gabrieli Consort and Players have put together an entirely captivating re-creation of a Vespers service, the Catholic office of evening prayer, as it might have been performed at St. Mark's in Venice in the early 17th century. From the sacristy ...
