classical music: magnificat     classical music:       Requiem & Magnificat/Rutter, Cambridge Singers33 reviews John Rutter, Cambridge Singers, ... Collegium, 2000 Why I Like Tthis CD This is an excellent CD. I had an ulterior motive for ordering it, however. I sing in a local Choral Society and we are performing it this coming weekend. I wanted the CD to follow along at home and get my part down a little better. I do very much enjoy John Rutter's music and the Cambridge Singers are very good.             25 Bach Favorites12 reviews Hildegard Rutgers, Johann Sebastian Bach, ... Vox (Classical), 1996 Bach Surely you don't need me to review the guy. You know who he is, you've heard his music, and I hope you own some. So let me turn the podium over to a cat named Picasso, and you can read into that whatever you wish. She's in a chair, near the CD player. She has entered the room specifically for the music. Her eyes are squinted, almost but not quite shut, little face concentrating on just how ...             Bach: Greatest Hits10 reviews Johann Sebastian Bach, Christian Pezold, ... Sony, 1994 Teeming with classics I purchased this for track #10, which I'd happened to hear on the radio...it stayed in my head until I tracked down the CD. I have a relatively basic working knowledge of classical music, so this long playing collection was an excellent and surprising introduction to several of Bach's diverse works...both well known and more obscure. Certainly a worthwhile addition to your classical collection.             Ave Maria3 reviews Gregorian Chant, Benedictine Monks of Santo Domingo de Silos Jade Records, 1995 Ave Maria Gregorian Chant CD Great CD. My wife and I listen to it almost daily. We even use it for prayer sessions. Also the product was in perfect condition and and was as advertised. We're totaly satified.             John Rutter Collection14 reviews Rutter, Cambridge Singers, ... Decca, 2002 John Rutter Collection Absolutely beautiful selections performed perfectly!! I play it almost daily and repeatedly. I am familiar with several pieces from a performance perspective and enjoy the entire collection immensely.             Monteverdi - Vespers of 1610 (Vespro della Beata Vergine) / Chandler, R. Croft, Atkinson, Numura, Boston ...14 reviews Claudio Monteverdi, Boston Baroque, ... Telarc, 1997 Mary must be pretty pleased I only recently discovered the work of Pearlman and the Boston Baroque through their Messiah which is absolutely stunning. So, I was eager to pick this piece up, especially after listening to the brief audio clips on the site. I have a bit of early music (des Pres, Tallis, some madrigals and the like) and a lot more baroque. What I really like about the Vespers is that they demonstrate the ...             Arvo Part: Te Deum / Kaljuste, Estonian Philharmonic Chamber Choir33 reviews Arvo Part Ecm Records, 1999 Amazing disc--and there is linkage between Part's Te Deum and Bruckner's 9th symphony The other reviewers have it 100% right on this one--this is one amazing disc. The Te Deum is a masterpiece, written in our times, which will likely withstand the test of time much as any of the great music from the past. But here's the real reason why I'm writing this review. While I have no reason to believe that this was Arvo Part's intention, the Te Deum uniquely compliments one of the ...             The Story of Bach2 reviews Johann Sebastian Bach, Jean-Joseph Cassanea de Mondonville, ... Vox (Classical), 1995 Excellent! We are using this series of CDs in our homeschool music program - they are fantastic! We especially love this one about Bach - what an awesome man! The story of his life is told in a way that is very interesting and holds the children's attention while also using various pieces of his music in the narration. It is done VERY well! My children are gaining a tremendous amount of knowlege and ...             Chanticleer: Magnificat (A Capella Works by Josquin, Palestrina, Titov, Victoria, and Others)11 reviews Chanticleer, William Cornysh, ... Teldec, 2000 Beautiful performances and some nice surprises This is a nice anthology of Renaissance music encompassing key composers of both the Prima and Seconda Prattica, including one or two less known names. The uniting theme is that of they are all in praise of the Virgin Mary. Most of these works are old war horses such as the Josquin Ave Maria which is beautifully performed. Their tempo for the Josquin is similar to that of the spacious approach of ...             Buxtehude: Complete Organ Music6 reviews Dietrich Buxtehude, Walter Kraft Vox (Classical), 2004 BEAUTIFUL AS WELL AS REFERENCE As one completely devoted to the organ works of Bach (and of others), I highly recommend this recording. I have loved Buxtehude's organ works for many years, and had certain recordings on LP (old Mercury Living Presence of Alf Linder and the LP of Walcha's "Orfelmeister vor Bach,") which are my favorites. Neither, however, is available on CD. While Walter Kraft is not Helmut Walcha or Alf ...             Antonio Vivaldi: The Complete Sacred Music [Box Set]1 review Antonio Vivaldi, Giovanni Maria Ruggieri, ... Hyperion UK, 2005 Antonio Vivaldi The Complete Sacred Music, Hyperion, The King's Consort, Choir of the King's Consort, Robert King, Soloists Test of a little meeting. When Antionio Vivaldi 1741 died in Vienna, he left a stately spiritual work. A large part of these compositions which were not sighted yet or still not authorized for the publication to this day was sighted only approx. 90 years ago in which one knows, the Vivaldi still had set many further spiritual works to music. The spiritual work contains a variety of compositions ...             Hallelujah: 35 Great Choruses3 reviews Antonio Vivaldi, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, ... Sparrow, 2004 lovely works... Excellent selections... my favorite is the Sanctus by Gounod. The music seems to build in the blood... the organ being the heartbeat. If you turn the volume up just right... a memorable experience. Beautiful!             Vox De Nube8 reviews Noirin Ni Riain Sounds True Direct, 1997 heavenly (literally) There are voices that crack glass. That's impressive, always. Noirin Ni Riain has a voice that stops you in your tracks and fills your eyes with tears and makes all that is holy to you as real as your hand. If you don't believe that, listen to ten seconds of "Magnificat cum alleluia" and see if you don't suddenly feel the impulse to drop to your knees. Noirin Ni Riain --- in America, she'd be ...             Chanticleer - Out of This World6 reviews Chad Runyon, Tim Krol, ... Teldec, 1994 A No Brainer!!!!!!!!! This is a must have cd for any classical, choral,or jazz music fan. Chanticleer is world renowned for their abilty to branch out and do all kinds of different styles, and this cd shows off there incredible range and diveristy. This cd incompasses 20th Century classical, Rennisance, Romantic, Jazz, Spirital, and Folk music done with blend balance and style that each one of these genres calls for. ...             The Music of St. Paul's Cathedral11 reviews Hubert Parry, Charles Hylton Stewart, ... Hyperion UK, 2000 St. Paul's Cathedral ImpressiveCollection of Anglican Hymns St. Paul's Cathdral is the second largest cathedral church in the basilican style, exceeded only by St. Peter's Rome. New York City's St. John the Divine is larger than St. Paul's, but with decidely gothic elements. All three cathedrals have fine choirs, but St. Paul's and St. John's continue the noble and unique sound of boys and men in the English tradition. St. Paul's great organ is one of ...             Monteverdi: Vespro Della Beata Vergine9 reviews Claudio Monteverdi, John Eliot Gardiner, ... Archiv Produktion, 1990 Monteverdi's stunning resume piece What a job application. Looking for work around 1610, Claudio Monteverdi composed this massive work in hopes of Vatican employment. He even dedicated it to his anticipated future boss, Pope Paul V - kissing up has a long tradition in the Western world. Inexplicably, the Vatican wasn't moved. Instead, Monteverdi accepted the patronage of the Doge in Venice and became their Maestro di Capella in ...             Gloria! Music of Praise and Inspiration3 reviews Antonio Vivaldi, Johann Sebastian Bach, ... Telarc, 1998 Glorious If I had to choose one conductor to compile exerpts from the greatest masses and works in choral literature and history, I would only bestow that duty to Robert Shaw and his choruses. Once again he displays his uncanny ability to not only choose beautiful music but also perform it in a spellbinding manner. Even with the pieces the average listener has heard or performed, such as Vivaldi's ...             The Very Best of Bach3 reviews Johann Sebastian Bach, Oliver von Dohnanyi, ... Naxos, 2005 Instant Bach Composer Study I bought this and downloaded it the same day because I needed some Bach for our homeschool composer study. This was perfect -- a sampling of Bach music, selected by experts who know what is Bach's best. I didn't have to hunt down specific songs or even leave home to shop. The Very Best of Bach served our purposes wonderfully. I burned the music to disc and played it in the background all term. ...             Sanctuary13 reviews Arvo Pärt, Franz Welser-Möst, ... EMI Classics, 1998 Superb! This album is a beautiful example of some of Arvo Part's best works. Each piece is thoroughly enjoyable and the entire collection makes a wonderful addition to anyone's music library. Arvo Part is one of the most important composers in contemporary music.             Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring / Mormon Tabernacle Choir4 reviews Johann Sebastian Bach, George Frideric Handel, ... Sony, 1992 Bach and Handel Treats The unfortunate thingÑif anything can be said to the contrary about this collectionÑis that is an older recording. As far as authenticity, what was available in the days of Bach and Handel to perform their music, and what they may have had in mind as the formidable way of presenting it to the publicÑas well as to the heavensÑmay be quite different things.
