Classical Program.
This is a dvd for lovers of classical music. It contains selections by: Corelli, Praetorius, Bach, and Handel. There are only three well known Christmas carols presented. The performance is excellent. The production values are not great, but are acceptable. If you want a Christmas dvd of classical selections, then this is for you. If you want standard Christmas carols and songs, then seek ...

Bravo for King's College!!!
Great video and sound. Having been there many years ago, it makes me want to return--especially during the Christmas season!

Stark and Eerie
A repetitive chorus of female voices, moaning, wailing, like a train heard passing from nowhere to nowhere at three in the morning, this is the coldest offering to the ear I've ever heard. And yet, somehow, it fits both Rothko's work and the manner of his death. After the Zen no-mind of the first four tracks, Feldman embraces his listeners and--by proxy--Rothko's spirit--in the 5th track, which ...

King's College Choir
Bci / Eclipse Music, 1999
King's College Heaven
This CD is, IMO, essentially an extension of O COME ALL YE FAITHFUL: KING'S COLLEGE. Both have the same high-quality sound (as if they were recorded in the same session) with the chapel organ as the only accompaniment. While there is obviously some overlap, this CD has a beautiful version of In Dulci Jublio and the classic Coventry Carol. I highly recommend A Spiritual Christmas - the price ...

HE KEPT HIS HEAD!!!! A Catholic in Protestant England of Queen Elizabeth had to be careful to keep his head, in every sense of the word. Wm Byrd (1543-1623), by writing for the Protestant Church a Great Service and a Short Service, and for the Papists three masses, besides Madrigals, anthems and hymns, remained in the good graces of both factions. In his position as Master of Musicke, he ...

Meditative and Deeply Moving
With respect to those who have negatively critiqued this CD, I wish to add to this forum my heartfelt praise. When one pauses to consider the ancient roots of this music, and the sanctity of the place to which it solely belonged for so many years, its depth and richness magnify. When one goes further, and allows oneself to sit still and breathe in the echoing precision of the voices so hauntingly ...

Clestial Christmas worth a million stars
I have had this collection on cassette and have listened to it faithfully for years. I did not have a CD player at the time, and then it went out of print, so I am thrilled to find it here. The album is a sensitively made collection of music for Christmas, not all of it familiar, but all very well performed with a peaceful spirit. This CD is well worth the effort to get it.

Mixed Bag
A good CD with good, traditional Catholic songs, but the quality of the recording leaves something to be desired, especially with all of the higher-pitched singing present.

Excellent recordings, maybe a bit much for some...
I found the overall quality of the recordings and the artists to be consistently very good. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this collection based on the quality of the production--this is a great way to get a complete collection of Mozart's chorals at one shot. Having said that, it's obviously going to be a bit repetitive; it is overkill for the average listener. Unless you're certain you ...

Teldec, 1994
American-born soprano Barbara Bonney provides the sparkle in this ebullient account of Mozart's gem of a cantata, Exsultate jubilate (K. 165). Harnoncourt and his charges do a lovely job with the orchestral pages of the setting, originally written to accompany the singing of the castrato Venanzio Rauzzini. Equally well done is the youthful C Minor Missa solemnis (K. 139), which in many ways looks forward to the great C Minor Mass (K. 427) and ...

Perfection
I have just returned from hearing The Sixteen perform some of this glorious music in the chapel of St John's College, Cambridge, and it is still echoing in my mind. The homogeneity, control of dynamics, intonation and phrasing of this choir are beyond praise; they sing like angels. The Anerio pieces are a real find, the "Ave Regina Caelorum" in particular being a sublime work - and we already ...
Live From Loretto Chapel - An American Hallelujah and Romance
Various
, Linda Mack; Matthew Tressler
Clarion, 2007
A brilliant two-CD set with selections recorded at the historic Loretto Chapel during the 2006 Santa Fe Summer Festival . Using two small ensembles, under the baton of artistic director Linda Mack , the chorale offers songs of faith, joy, and praise. The second disc is led by assistant Matthew Tresler and offers a sublime view of the trials and tribulations of love, from Brahms to Lennon and McCartney.
