Faure: Requiem and other choral music

Stephen Varcoe, Gabriel Faure, ...

Collegium, 2000

Requiem- a masterpiece.
This exquisite collection has so many gorgeous songs that move me to tears. In Sanctus, the violin is so pure, so beautiful, its wrings my heart. This is real music, real art, crafted with such care, that it is a true privilege to hear it, not to mention sing it (which ...

Requiem & Magnificat/Rutter, Cambridge Singers

John Rutter, City of London Sinfonia, ...

Collegium, 2000

Cambridge Singers have never been better!
I have listened to many other composers' requiems, but this one beats them all. It is a little unusual to have both English and Latin liturgy in a requiem, but it is entirely appropriate in this case, as it contains the Mass, psalms, and personal prayers to Christ--I ...

Choir of King's College Cambridge - Britten Choral Works [Great Artists of the Century]

Benjamin Britten, David Willcocks, ...

EMI Classics, 2004

King's College Classic
Way back in the dark ages, before CDs roamed the earth, I purchased the LP of this recording. It remains my favorite performance of Britten's work. The voices of the choir, accompanied by one harp, weave an achingly beautiful tapestry of sound. It is a wonderful way to ...

Bach Edition: Complete Works (155 CD Box Set)

Johann Sebastian Bach, Andrew Manze, ...

Brilliant Classics, 2006

Wonderful, wonderful music
Even though I have a lot of other Bach records, this is different, like being in the ocean. What a joy. Buy it; it's unbelievable. The organ works, violin and harpsichord material, and most concertos and orchestral works, have NOTHING wrong with them per se; if you ...

Sanctuary

Arvo Pärt, Franz Welser-Möst, ...

EMI Classics, 1998

Spare brilliance
Spending a lot of words describing Pärt's music seems like defeating the purpose. It is transcendent, haunting, solemn, quiet, and all the other things the other reviewers say. I view it, stylistically, as somewhere between the minimalism of Glass et al, and the ...

Sunset Boulevard (1993 Original London Cast)

Andrew Lloyd Webber

Decca Broadway, 1996

Weber Star "Patti Luone" Outshines The Cat Man
When this CD was first released my partner and I listened to it every night and sometimes twice. We thought what a perfect vehicle for Patti and you could tell it was written for her vocal range. All the characters were fabulous and George Hearn as Max was cast in ...

Cambridge The Choir of Trinity College, Wim Mertens

Windham Hill Records, 1994

On my second copy.....
I wore out the first copy I owned of this incredible CD. Actually, because I took it with me everywhere I went, it got too scratched on some of the cuts. (My bad!) Anyway - I couldn't live without it and so am on my second copy. Something about the voices and ...

Buy this CD!
Having heard Kings College Choir twice, in the flesh, at Kings, this CD is a wonderful example of what you might hear. If you can't make it to Cambridge, buy this CD. It contains many of the old favorites and also some hymns that are not found on other English hymn ...

Early American Choral Music, Vol. 2

Anonymous, William Billings, ...

Hmf Classical Exp., 2002

The Better of the two
I have both disc in the series. I liked the music on this disc much more than the first. The selections seem more focused and the sounds are much clearer. Also, the particular pieces fit better together. I love the sound of this group and hope they make more in the ...

Handel - Coronation Anthems / Gritton, Blaze, M. George, Choir of King's College Cambridge, AAM, Cleobury

George Frideric Handel, Stephen Cleobury, ...

EMI Classics, 2001

Crowning Achievement
If you only have room for one recording of the Coronation Anthems in your collection, this CD will do splendidly. It's pure, lively and 100% fresh Baroque and the chorus really gets into the act. The heavenly harmonies of "My heart is igniting..." and "Upon Thy Right ...
