5.0 out of 5 stars A collection of some of the most beautiful choral music ever, 29 Nov 2002

By	Ruth Ludlam "princess_zelda" (Bracknell, UK) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This CD blends both the old and the new with superb skill. It aims to present the best of English choral anthems from the nineteenth century until pretty much the present day. I can't fault its taste - highlights for me are "Faire is the heaven" and Bainton's "And I saw a new heaven". Although every track is well chosen, and King's College Choir do themselves proud, particularly on Howells' "Like as the Hart".

It's quite a shame that this album is so suitable for mood music, as it really pays to listen to it properly. I find the first half of the disc contains some of the most haunting and beautiful music I have ever heard, at the risk of sounding like a cliche. Admittedly, I don't enjoy the last couple of tracks as much as the first eight, but they are still performed with consumate skill, and are perfectly listenable. Frankly, it's worth buying this CD for "Faire is the Heaven" alone, if you are in any doubt.

Finally, I would just like to add that the choir sing beautifully, and even the most picky musical perfectionist cannot find fault with their technical skill. The standard of the performance is world-class, as you would expect from Kings. The final notes of the Howells really are utterly beautiful and so well done.

If you like classical music, and have any taste, you should buy this CD. If you have never really listened to choral music before, this is a great place to start.

5.0 out of 5 stars Worth it for track two alone..., 15 Jul 2005

By	R. Bates (West Mids, UK) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This is a sublime colletction of some of the best modern choral music ever composed. If your preference of choral music is more towards the classical or Baroque era, such as the Messiah, then this may not be what you are looking for. I think all, with the possible exception of the first track was composed in the 20th Century and is amongst the most moving music ever sung in a church - and I should know, having been a member of a church choir myself for over ten years.

As would be expected by Kings' College, the performance is superb. The CD is also a bargain on amazon, and the price is worth paying for a copy of 'And I Saw a New Heaven' alone. This anthem, by the little-known Englishman Edgar Bainton is set to some of the moving, powerful and passionate text of Revelations, the last book of the Bible. The fantastic word painting and dynamics are enough to move even the most hardened atheist.
