I bought this CD for one song: "Dear Lord and Father of Mankind". Listening to the whole CD took me right back to my childhood listening to services when I was at School. fantastic

The best album yet from King's College!
4 July 2001
Format:Audio CD
A few years ago, I had the chance to go to England with my Daughter; at that time, I already owned several albums. On the last full day of our stay, I had the chance to go to Cambridge, and visit King's College. I desided to stay, and attend a Vesper Service; it was one of the best experiences of my life! The music of the Choir was all I expected, and more! The music on this album takes me back to that time and place; it is an indescribable feeling of JOY!! Buy it, you'll love it!!

Buy this CD!
20 Sep 2004
Format:Audio 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 CD's.

Great English Hymns
9 Feb 2005
Format:Audio CD
This was one of my Christmas gifts and I really looked forward to listening to it. I had just visited King's College, Cambridge back in August and really liked it--you should try to make it out there if possible.
Anyway, this CD was great to listen to. Some hymns are scored for orchestral accompaniment, choir and organ, while the majority of tracks are just for choir and organ.
Recorded in the King's College Chapel (the front cover has a great shot of the ceiling's trademark "fan" stone carving), the hymns are pure English sound--boys' treble voices along with men's changed voices singing with a pure, clean, straight tone. It's very sweet-sounding.
The hymns chosen are also great; "Be Thou My Vision," an Irish classic, appears along with "When I Survey the Wondrous Cross," "All People That on Earth Do Dwell," and "Morning Has Broken" (later recorded by Cat Stevens).
The singing isn't especially elaborate--they're just simple hymns. They're orchestrated very well, however, and they sound great.
Religious people may prefer these recordings more in general--these are Christian hymns after all--but I think it's a great recording and is worth listening too, especially if you enjoy that English sound!
