Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

It's good to have the clean-vowelled, fresh-voiced Cambridge Singers back in action with composer John Rutter demonstrating once again his considerable talents as a choral director. Here he also had his work cut out arranging 15 of the tracks (and composing one other). Divided up into various categories such as "the Eucharist" and "folk hymns", this album will delight the confirmed hymn enthusiast, provided he or she doesn't insist on the pure, as-written product. Rutter's reworkings range from the bold and brassy (occasionally deliciously over the top--what would Martin Luther have thought of the naughtinesses in "A mighty fortress is our God"?) to those of harp-accompanied simplicity, not least in the charming lines of "Be thou my vision". Several tasteful descants are models of their kind. There are some surprises to chuckle at. For example, not the expected brass and organ job on "We plough the fields and scatter", but a dainty, tripping harp accompaniment to the familiar melody, such as Haydn might have wedded to a Scottish folk song. Occasional numbers may be too saccharine for some tastes, but there are cunningly placed samples of Gregorian chant, Tallis and Gibbons to provide contrast and cleanse the palette. --Andrew Green

5.0 out of 5 stars magnificent, 18 Jan 2006
By Kyle R J Richardson (Ellel, Lancaster United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
The Cambridge Singers are once again on amazing form, the singing is as always pure and clear. The range of Hymn music presented is very good and some of Rutters arrangements are amazing. The soaring soprano descants are some of the best i have ever heard(especially the end of track of 6).The acoustics of st Albans offer generous support and make this on the whole a magnificent recording, a must for any fan of Rutter and the Cambridge Singers.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Wonderful Collection of Hymns Catering For All Tastes, 16 Mar 2001
By A Customer
This wonderful collection of Church music caters for all tastes, be they High Church Anglicans or Evangelicals of all denominations. The best of the British and Irish Hymns are presented here, with typical Rutter arrangements, modern while not losing anything of their traditional quality.

Sadly, the version of the Irish Hymn "All Things Bright and Beautiful" is not the popular modern one, synonymous with John Rutter. This disappointed me so be warned! Other than that, I am delighted I purchased this CD and would recommend it to all lovers of Church and Christian music.

5.0 out of 5 stars Superlative singing, 12 July 2009
By J. Hutchings "jjhutchings" (Framlingham, UK) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
Perhaps the only way I can truly mention the glory of this CD is that I crashed a car whilst singing along to it - descant on full blast.

The singing is superb, well balanced from the brass, organ, choir & descant sops editions through to the sopranos and harp editions. John Scott masters the organ of St Alban the Martyr at Holborn with ease, the brass ensemble play with finesse and great technique without sounding slavish to every detail, and the choir - well - just listen to O God our help, Lo! He comes, or any other track for that matter. Excellent diction, perfect intonation, and importantly for hymn singing - excellent choice of tempi.

The editions are now available from Collegium Music, Rutter's own publishing house. Worth every penny.
