Format:Audio CD
Music snobs will probably throw their hands up in horror at this - it is a compilation CD, for goodness sake. Populism is taking over the world of classical music, and all anyone ever listens to is the extracts that appear in adverts - edited highlights. Music snobs can, suffice to say, be ignored. The CD does have a populist feel to it - Handel’s Hallelujah Chorus, Ave Maria from Schubert, but the CD also covers some less well known pieces. Moreover it gives more than the edited highlights. The performances are consistently good though not especially well known performers. To cavil a little - I thought the Ave Maria a little more rushed than normal, and the “belting it out” version of the Hallelujah Chorus seemed to be preferred. These are minor criticisms however - it is a nice collection of some beautiful choral music. Snobs can chose to wade through the entire canon, but from time to time it is very pleasant to have the best bits served up on a single CD.

This CD features samples from some of the best classical music ever wriitten. If you are thinking of delving into classical music or want something with a little more religous flavour to it you cannot go far wrong. The quality of the recording is surprisingly high. A bargin at twice the price.

A lovely compilation of some of the most beautiful works of vocal praise you will ever hear. Absolute certainty to raise your spirits and lower your heart rate.
When the great composers take it into their heads to write in the praise of God, they won't stop a merely 'excellent' - it's the best they are capable of and we can only listen in awe at what they have created. Makes you proud to be human that anyone can create such works as these
An absolute steal of an album for the money - the CD may never make its way back into its case, I'm playing it so often.
