great music but.....
Really nice music but seller not so good. They sent the CD's in a brown envelope with no pading. I ordered CD's at the beginning of December and did not get them until after Christmas. CD cases were broken and soaking wet. Was happy with the music but seller needs to ...

Glittering Chrismas Music
I own virtually all of the CD's of John Rutter (whom I greatly admire) and the Cambridge Singers, and I am a fan of English Choral music in general. If I were asked to recommend only one of the many Cambridge Singers Christmas albums, or indeed one of any English ...
Songs of Angels - Christmas Hymns and Carols
Robert Shaw Chamber Singers
Telarc, 1994
Choral Splendor
This is one of my favorite choral Christmas CDs. "Songs of Angels" pretty much sums it up, so I don't know what more I can add, but I'll try. First, let me say that I enjoy all types of Christmas music, with the exception of stuff like "Grandma Got Run Over By a ...

Decca, 1995
The Best Christmas CD Ever
If you are seeking a CD of traditional Christmas music to help you 1) focus on the true meaning of the holiday and 2)draw near to God, this is it. The choral arrangements are alternately beautiful and powerful, delicate and majestic. There is a rich heritage of ...

Classic Dale Warland
As has been the case with most DWS recordings, this is truly a classic. Beautifully sung, with new and interesting arrangements of traditional favorites, this disc is a must for all holiday music and DWS fans. Of note are Stephen Paulus' rhythmic "The Holly and the ...

Harmonia Mundi Fr., 2004
Can't walk away from it!
My only "complaint" about the CD is that I absolutely HAVE to sit and listen to the entire thing whenever I start it up! I usually have music playing in the background while doing other things, but not this one! There are no tracks that I find myself wanting to skip ...
Christmas Night: Carols of the Nativity
Boris Ord
,
Herbert Howells
, ...
Collegium, 1993
Beautiful Music, Beautifully Sung
This compilation of Christmas carols both traditional and modern stands in stark contrast to much of the bubble gum, soda pop Christmas music so often heard on popular radio these days. There are no divas or over the top performances or attempts to make "a moment". ...

EMI Classics, 2005
Still the Best (in most ways)
I sang the Elijah in college more than five decades ago and can still sing along all the choruses from memory. During the time since I have listened to every major recorded release. When I first wrote this review several months ago, I was comparing my vinyl set, ...

RCA, 1990
The quintessential Christmas recording
This recording seems to elicit universal and heartfelt praise. Who am I to dispute that? The performance is terrific, just as described by the other Amazon reviewers, no doubt about it. However, I do have one bone to pick with this recording. There just isn't ...
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 ...

Philips, 1994
An Outstanding Holiday Recording
In 1994 I worked at a music store where I was considered "the classical music expert." How did I earn this distinguished honor you may ask? Well, I had music lessons as a child, had a somewhat good knowledge of classical music as a hobbyist (I am a die hard opera buff ...

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 ...
Our Heart's Joy: A Chanticleer Christmas

Chanticleer Records, 1992
Sublime Singing
The all male, A Capella choir Chanticleer includes songs of many styles on this recording, but one in particular has always shined the brightest for me. The "Ave Maria," written by Biebel, includes introductory passages of traditional Gregorian chant, which lead into ...

A Must For Boston Pops Lovers
Poor Keith Lockhart did not have the easiest time when he first came to Boston. He made a few major mistakes. First, he shortened the 1812 Overture at the July 4th Concert at the Esplanade, which may have been a decision of the television stations carrying the ...
