 | Songs of Angels - Christmas Hymns and Carols [Read More ...]
Review: 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 ... |

A feast for the ears:Title...The Most Relaxing Music in the Universe (not Feminine Mystique(?). Music is beautiful, very relaxing yet energizing. |
 | Spirit of The Season: Christmas with Sissel and The Mormon Tabernacle Choir [Read More ...]
Description: Music critics have called her voice 'ethereal,' 'pristine' and 'captivating.' Throughout her career, Norwegian-born singing sensation Sissel has performed with a variety of artists whose styles range from folk to jazz and from rock to hip-hop. She has sung for royalty and shared ... |
 | Angel Voices [Read More ...]
Description: There's very little to say about this recording of ethereally beautifully singing by the 24 young English lads who make up the group Libera. Enormously popular in Asia, the group is part of a parish choir in South London that has been around for many years, with of course, change... |
 | Sing We Christmas [Read More ...]
Description: Christmas is the season for whipping out those holiday-specific standard recordings. This splendid gift by Chanticleer should top the list, for one will never tire of this a cappella choir's interpretations. With selections spanning the last five centuries of Latin, German, Engli... |
 | The Joy of Christmas [Read More ...]
Review: Just As I Remembered:Raise the roof and sing praises on high! Play this if you cannot make it to church, and you will feel like you are there. The incomparable sound of the Mormon Tabernacle Choir with all the religious classics. A few oddities are tagged on at the end, the Nutcr... |
 | Holst: The Planets [Read More ...]
Review: Where's the Fire:I was so disappointed with this CD that I bought a different Holst "Planets" CD. Zubin Mehta decided to rush through my favorite part of "Jupiter". The cello (I think) section should be slow and deliberate. The jolly clown is having a pensive moment. This par... |
 | Ultimate Classical Christmas Album of All Time [Read More ...]
Review: Breathtakingly beautiful!:Over and over we played "Die Menge der Engel" - - it is stunningly beautiful! The loftiness of the voices, wonderful.
We loved the boys/children's choruses on many of the other pieces on the album. Duets by Placido Domingo and Luciano Pavorati - - mag... |
 | 50 Most Loved Christmas Carols [Read More ...]
Review: Good Try but No Cigar!:The musical tracks and the choir are frequently out of sync. Also,there is a bit of intonation about the choir, I believe it is in the male voices. Lots of songs here, but lacking punch. The 3rd CD contains only instrumental tracks for sing-alongs, if you'r... |
 | Free [Read More ...]
Description: English composer Robert Prizeman has taken a conventional English boy's choir--usually a haven for sweet songs and ecclesiastical renderings--and made them contemporary without selling out any of their intrinsic charm. Their stacked choral voices and lead sopranos, dressed up wit... |

The price is right:If your not a huge fan of classical music but want the stuff found in mainstream movies, get this album. |
 | Voice of an Angel [Read More ...]
Description: Those leery and weary of tasteless crossover need not shudder at the sight of this disc, which has sold over half a million copies in Europe. There's none of the softcore kiddie porn that came with Vanessa-Mae or the heavily packaged faux romanticism of Andrea Bocelli. (That of ... |
 | Angel Voices: Libera In Concert [Read More ...]
Review: Outstanding boys choir :Outstanding! I love the music of boy's choirs, but so often the CDs also contain a lot of symphony, adult choirs, adult soloists, etc.... I don't want all that extra stuff, just the beauty of boys' voices. This is it! It's a bit comtemporary at times, ... |
 | Jessye Norman - Christmastide [Read More ...]
Review: A Beautiful Christmas CD....:A mix of the sublime traditional Christmas music from one of the finest singers in the world. O Holy Night is exquisite, Hark The Herald and Adeste Fideles are superb, and everything else is just wonderful. The perfect Christmas CD for listening to or... |
 | Holst: The Planets [Read More ...]
Description: Charles Dutoit often sounds better on disc than he does live. The reason for this is simple: he loves to play to the audience, and the result is all kinds of wild gesticulating that the orchestra knows perfectly well to ignore. Sometimes they ignore him completely, to the peri... |
 | Gustav Holst: The Planets, Op 32 [Read More ...]
Space Travel on a budget:You can read the more detailed reports about this performance and the quality of the recording. My comments are simply buy it, load it on your portable music player, get outside at night where you can relax and view the night sky, listen. |

Review: THE BEST!!!:I am the proud owner of at least thirty Christmas CD's. This compilation is the best collection of quality music performed superbly that I have ever heard. I had to drive 1400 miles by myself before Christmas and I never tired of listening to this wonderful music. ... |

Review: a voice teacher and early music fan:QUALITY AND QUANTITY COMBINE IN THIS VERY FINE COMPILATION!
This is indeed one of the most tasty group of Christmas songs that I have come across in my many years of listening. It leans toward sacred, but there are tunes such 'White Christmas'... |
 | Classic Thanksgiving Songs of Praise [Read More ...]
Review: Excellent for Thanksgiving:It's Thanksgiving Day as I write this. The music on this CD is great for Thanksgiving, or any time of the year. "Praise My Soul," "Immortal, Invisible," and "Ave Verum Corpus" are particularly well done. The Halifax Choral Society has a nice, clear soun... |
 | Holst: The Planets / R. Strauss: Also Sprach Zarathustra [Read More ...]
Description: Steinberg's tenure at the helm of the Boston Symphony was cut short by illness, but his relatively slim catalogue of recordings with the orchestra produced several important examples of his art, boasting truly fine interpretations and spectacular playing. These orchestral showpie... |
