By The Five Sisters
VINE™ VOICE
Format:Audio CD
This is a triple CD set with the full versions of Adiemus, Requiem, and The Armed Man in exactly the same editions as the individual CDs. The set is held together with a fairly flimsy cardboard case, but you could easily dispense with this and just have the CDs in their individual cases.
I'm not going to comment on the quality of the music, but if you are keen on buying some of Karl Jenkins' work, this is a brilliant value set - significantly cheaper than buying all 3 CDs individually.

I bought this triple CD collection after borrowing the "Requiem" CD from a local library and really enjoying it. Containing as it does not only the Requiem and (very different) the first "Adiemus" volume but also "The Armed Man", I found it an excellent introduction to Karl Jenkins' music. The "Requiem" CD also includes Jenkins' rich "In These Stones Horizons Sing" evocation of Wales - a great bonus. Whilst there are tracks on each CD that I don't really respond to, there is much that I really enjoy and - at the time of writing at least - was able to buy the collection at an astonishingly low bargain price.

A few weeks ago, in a crowded train from Amsterdam, I met two ladies and we started a chat on music. I learned two things: Amazon.co.uk is a good place to find beautiful music for a reasonable price (Topgear :-) and that the music from Karl Jenkins is impressive: I knew already Vocalize Adiemus and these ladies recommended me to look for more: so I purchased The Platinum Collection. I don't regret it! The collection consists of 3 CD's: Requiem, The Armed Man and Adiemus.
Requiem: a modern Requiem, but of classic quality. Accessible and harmonic. From today's world.
The Armed man: A Mass for Peace. The message is well composed and not hard to find. It starts with marching feet, powerfull but not aggressive. And that continues through the rest of the CD
Adiemus: Songs of the Sanctuary. Spiritual music. Keltic sound :-) ... Clannad, Enya. Not the same but related ... simular roots.
And for all CD's in this collection: fantastic choire and musicians. The voices are so connected to Jenkins, recognizable as such, through all the 4 works I know so far. Great quality. Well done !

Varied music but all well-recorded
This box-set contains a fairly broad range of KJ's music and the recording quality is excellent. A fine addition to any collection.

sad
I do not know if it is me but this collection rather saddened me. I was expecting so much from it and only found that relatively few tracks made any impression. Read more

Karl Jenkins
Karl Jenkins is a fantastic composer. The music on these 3 CD's is unusual and is sung in a "made up" language sounding a bit like latin.

I have not listened to all the CDs but was impressed with The Armed Man and used it extensively to help my practising for our choir's performance of this moving work. Read more
