L'Oiseau-Lyre (Decca), 1991
Superb in every way
I have just purchased the CDs of this recording to replace the cassette tapes I have had for more than 15 years. This performance is superb in every way. While I like performances of early music on period instuments, I am not a fanatical purist. To me, this is a ...

American Choral, 1995
Heavenly
WHOA!!! I bought this CD after singing the Barber with my college group. I never expected such great music! The Martin piece starts out the disc and in my opinion is very average. The Agnus Dei is absolutly gorgeous, the only downer being a sour soprano solo note, ...

LACK OF DICTION?!!!
Obviously the individual who wrote the review including the "marred by lack of diction" remark is not too familiar with the traditional boychoir sound. I am moved to sickness that they were so openly compared with the sound of the all-too-familiar MTC. THOSE WERE ...

Highly recommended
I bought this CD several years ago, and I never get tired of listening to it. Michael Murray gives his usual brilliant rendition of some of the world's greatest organ music in a setting with vibrant accoustics as St. John the Divine is one of the largest churches in ...

Comment on Highland Cathedral
This CD was a gift for a grandson who is a 15 year old talented player of the bagpipes for his school pipes and drums band. He is in line for being made pipe major. He thought the CD was an entertaining collation and is likely to enjoy and learn a good deal from it ...

Another sublime offering from Sacred Treasures
These are some of the best performances of this repertoire to be found on CD. The album would make a great gift for any lover of choral music, but particularly those who appreciate traditional Russian sacred music and the rich legacy which it fosters in our current ...

Glorious cantatas on the second CD
For once the 5 stars are worth it. The choral works on disc 1 are masterful benchmark interpretations of the pick of Vivaldi's sacred output. What makes it a real bargain however is the second disc of cantatas - one of Emma Kirkby and Catherine Bott's finest ...

This DVD is a performance of Mozart Requiem to celebrate the composer's Bicentenary. It is also the last performance of Arleen Auger, before she died tragically of cancer. It is an excellent recording on all counts, with Solti rounding off a superb interpretation.

Every once in a while, after sorting through the seemingly endless piles of contemporary American composers, you find a new composer that restores your faith in American music, which often seems to be a lost cause. This cd is one of those. Theofanidis comes forth as ...
