If, like me, you have two sons and two grandsons, you will know that boys aged seven to fourteen are seldom angelic. Raising two generations of them provides undeniable proof of this. And yet, here is a CD that seems to belie my lifetime's (often painful!) experience. How, for example, could anything but a host of angels provide the sounds as beautiful as 'Panis Angelicus', as rhythmic as 'Adoramus Te', as beaty as 'Orinoco Flow' or as moving as 'One Voice'? Known these days as Libera, the St Philips Boys Choir provide a superb variety of songs ranging from favourite hymns to chart hits and perform every one with the sort of professionalism expected of more seasoned artists. Every track leaves the listener wanting more; a sort of musical addiction, if you will. Angellic indeed...but we can also add 'Magnificent', 'Breathtaking' and 'Sublime' to the list of adjectives. And as the disc was first released in 1993, it strikes me that some of the 'boys' will now have children of their own. Maybe they'll now have a different definition of the word 'Angellic'...

This is an excellent CD. I really loved the clarity of these boys. Unlike traditional boys choirs these boys sing a multitude of popular songs. I have always liked boy choirs and the voices of the St Phillips Boys choir are truly "Angel Voices". I recomend all three volumes of this choir as a valuble addition to you collections.

I suppose writing a review of an album that is already five years old and has been enjoyed by many is rather like writing a report on the sinking of the Titanic. However, having only just purchased this CD, I feel I must share my comments. The St Philips Boys Choir - better known these days as Libera - create a unique sound on all their records. Having already bought their 'Libera' and 'Luminosa' albums, I had a fair idea of what to expect from 'Angel Voices 3'. I wasn't disappointed. Their use of 'close-mike' vocals is extremely effective, particularly on those tracks where a younger boy takes the solo. Their version of 'Mary's Boy Child' will make the tears flow and 'White Christmas' - including the little-heard verse, incidentally - will evoke memories of every Christmas you have ever experienced. Under the direction and arrangement of Robert Prizeman, these boys really do know how to 'sell' a song and I guarantee that you, like me, will play the disc for hours on end. Each and every track is the definitive version of the song and the boys' voices blend well with the subtle synthesiser backing. For those Libera fans who are disappointed that their new album is not available before Christmas, buy this CD...it's more than an adequate replacement!

Good singers
This cd was worth the purchase. The choristers are good singers. Some songs are clunky, however there are many songs that are as good as the originals, for example Walking in the... Read more

I didn't realise it was a Xmas album
I know I probably should have read into this album more, but I didn't realise it was a Christmas album. I'm sure I will play it once Christmas comes around.

Magnificent
Libera continues to marvel with their vibrant, harmonious, "angelic" voices. Robert Prizeman has shown even brighter than his "angels" with his ability to arrange & orchestrate. Read more
