Fanfares a blaze...
This is a wonderful CD. The Salisbury Organ is in the very capable hands of Organist, Michael Murray. Not only does the CD demonstrate for us the great qualities of the Tuba Mirabilis and 32' Ophicleide, but also the soft string sounds of the organ. A definite must ...

Another Remarkable GG Recording...
As a GG fan for over 30 years, I thought I knew most of his work; Sony, however, has issued more than was previously available--in a most excellent form. And so, I have the pleasure of discovering yet more wonderful GG works. I had previously heard of the infamous ...

Hyperion UK, 1999
a voice teacher and early music fan
MUCH VARIETY OF MUSIC SUNG WITH EXPERTISE. This is a really good representation of 20th century hymn tunes sung by a typical British Choir made up of boy sopranos, male altos and the usual number of tenors and basses. The choir sings very well using good diction ...

Newport Classic, 2003
A very good CD to buy
I have bought many CD regarding American patriotic songs but it is the one that I prefer. The songs are sung in a very classic way and so, there are easy to listen. Jon English as a tenor gives an excellent performance. On the piano, Rob Carriker gives also an ...

'GARDINER'S REQUIEM: TRES UNIQUE, BUT 'HIS' FRENCH ART SONGS: C'EST MAGNIFIQUE!! How ingenious of John Eliot Gardiner to choose this so-called second setting of Faure's Requiem with its lighter instrumentation, for it creates, even more than usual, an ethereal effect, ...

My best baroque CD
Over the years from time to time I bought some CDs with baroque brass ensemble music, always hoping it would be so fascinating as what I knew from my fathers PJBE vynil records. What I bought so far all are nice but also somewhat boring after short time. Unfortunately ...

"Best Harpsichord Recording"
I have always loved the sound of the Harpsichord and for many years hearing poorly recorded or played Harpsichord this treasure is a must have. From the fine compositions to the good sound quality this CD is definately a keeper. Plenty of music for a moderate price as ...

Behold, thou hast made my day
to misquote slightly the first vocal number on this disc. This is a really superlative production in every respect except that the words are not provided for the vocal items (the words of the anonymous The Silver Swan are worth knowing!). Even the liner note, by John ...

Vox (Classical), 1995
They just don't get it
Wow, okay, to be fair, I haven't listened to every track on this album. But that is because I had to turn it off - I couldn't take much more. Simply, this is just the wrong kind of music to be sung by "classical" voices. As a rule, it sounds terrible, unnatural ...

Superb Pianism from Joseph Fennimore
I missed the first two volumes of 'Joseph Fennimore in Concert' but can tell you that if they were as good as this one just released they must be pretty special. I had heard only vaguely of Fennimore before, and primarily as a composer. I read in the booklet notes that ...

Soothing, Energizing and Great Sounding Album
I do not have a deep understanding of classical music. I usually tend to buy albums that intuitively appeal to me on the first listen. I first listened to this on British Airways' inflight classical music selection. Needless to say I can't give you a "classical" ...
