Ceremony

Gordon Jones, Benjamin Britten, ...

Hyperion UK, 1993

The best version of this piece!
This is the best version of the Ceremony of Carols available. It is sung completely by trebles and is accompanied only by harp, which is how it was written. Trebles = boys. I thought it was out of print and I am very happy to see that it is not. The only problem with ...

New Skin for the Old Ceremony

Leonard Cohen

Sbme Special Mkts., 2008

Poetry in motion
New Skin For The Old Ceremony is a masterpiece, and one of Leonard Cohen's best albums. It's a truly great effort, and too often overlooked. Although his first three albums - particularly the first and third - are all certified masterpieces, this one, his fourth, was ...

The Promise of Ages : A Christmas Collection

Benjamin Britten, Gregorian Chant, ...

Sony, 1998

Beautiful Harmonies and Vocalizations
Like another reviewer, I am thrilled at Lo! He Comes, as well as with the unfamiliar setting for Hark the Herald Angels Sing and the beautiful Sing We the Virgin Mary. If you love beautiful vocalizations, especially rare soprano-alto harmonizations, this is the album ...

A Robert Shaw Christmas - Angels on High

Charles Sprawls, Johann Sebastian Bach, ...

Telarc, 1997

Inspiring!
You simply cannot go wrong with this wonderful collection from a disciplined and masterfully-led chorus. If you want to hear Christmas choral standards in all their glory, no disappointment here - beautiful men's chorus version (original) of Beibl's Ave Maria, and the ...

Enchanted Christmas

Anna Maria Mendieta

Sugo Records, 1993

Enchanted by Enchanted Christmas
This album contains some of the most beautiful harp music combined with Stevan Pasero's New Chamber Ensemble that I have ever heard. Ms. Mendieta's mastery of the harp is in this reviewer's thinking probably the best I have ever heard, and I believe harp truly is an ...

The Knot Collection of Ceremony and Wedding Music Selected by the Knot's Carley Roney

Yo-Yo Ma, Wynton Marsalis

Sony, 2006

Makes selecting your wedding music easy!
This CD includes a nice selection of classical wedding music. When I ordered, I had no idea of what music I wanted or even how to select appropriate music. The accompanying guide breaks down each part of the ceremony and makes it easy to select the right song(s), ...

Substance

New Order

Qwest / Wea, 1990

magic disappearing CD
Anyone who says this is not one of the best CD's ever is an idiot. The music, although (I can't believe it) is 20 yrs old now, is still fresh and so ultimately energetic and dance inspiring ! It's the only CD I've bought at least 3 times and it keeps 'disappearing'.. ...

Chess

Benny Andersson, Benny / Ulvaeus, Bjorn / Anderson, Stig Andersson, ...

Decca Broadway, 1996

THE BEST Muscial score ever written, hands down......
I have been listening to this CD for over a decade and it is still relevant, still in my CD player at all times, and a muscial and score that will live on as my all-time favorite for decades to come. I was blessed and fortunate to see Josh Groban, Raul Esparza and ...

Christmas Adagios

Gerald Finley, Adolphe Adam, ...

Decca, 2001

One of my very top 5 favorite holiday albums!
What a delightful surprise this 2 disc album was and I'm not a big fan of Christmas music. I loved all the selections and felt they were well performed. This is a true "must have" for any Christmas collection. Superior to many other compliations on the market. This ...

A Day to Remember - Instrumental Music for Your Wedding Day

O'Neill Brothers

O'Neill Brothers, 2002

Wonderful CD
I purchased this CD for my 78 yr old mother, a widow, who is getting remarried this Sept. and needed some recorded music to play before the ceremony and for the processional and recessional. She absolutely loves the CD and plays it over and over and over! It is a ...

The Dybbuk

Avrom Morevski, Ajzyk Samberg

Bel Canto Society, 2005

"One Comes Into The World, Another Leaves" ~ Penetrating The Mysticism Of The Kabala
Note: Yiddish with English subtitles. `The Dybbuk', released in '37 is a cinematic time capsule providing the viewer with a mesmerizing glimpse into a world that no longer exists. While '37 was a long time ago (70 years come 01/07) the film has a feel, no an ...

Saint Säens: Christmas Oratorio/Britten: Ceremony of Carols

Egbert Junghanns, Benjamin Britten, ...

Delta, 1990

The real gem here is the Oratorio
I think this album is worth buying for the Oratorio alone. Saint-Saens' Oratorio is way too underrated and underperformed, and I hadn't heard of it myself until my fine arts program put on a production of it this semester. It's a small scale work written only for ...

Sacred Ceremonies: Ritual Music Of Tibetan Buddhism

Monks of the Dip Tse Chok Ling Monastery

Fortuna Records, 1992

Beautifully Haunting
I bought this recording a few years ago after hearing about it on National Public Radio. The monks vocal abilities are outstanding, it is truly ethereal. As Thupten Nyandak, Assistant Director of the monastery says: `It is a sound offering to whom we are praying', ...

Ceremony

The Cult

Beggars UK - Ada, 2000

Classic Cult
If a little green man came down from outerspace and wanted to now about the Cult. This is one of the Cd@s I would give him.

Dungeon Master of Ceremonies

MC Chris

Jet Pack Industries LLC, 2006

Off the hizzle for bliggle!
I'm not going to lie, I bootlegged your album mc. It was a dark time. However, in a twist of fate that would change my life, my beloved hard drive full of delicious illegal content was stricken down and all data was lost never to be seen again. Fast forward about 6 ...
