4 out of 5 stars Ferris Chorale produces another hit.......1998-09-11

William Ferris, honored by the Vatican for his work in sacred chorale music, has again conducted a moving chorale work. Sowerby's, "Forsaken of Man" is a thoughtful and moving chorale piece based upon The Passion of Christ. Ferris' interpretation of this piece continues his record of thought provoking religious music. Bruce Hall and John Vorassi are the stand out soloists on this CD. If you like this recording, "Let the Organs Thunder" by Ferris, et. al. will take your breath away.

4 out of 5 stars Glorius!.......1999-10-26

This recording was made at a series of AGO (American Guild of Organist) conventions. It is absolutely GLORIOUS! Sowerby's uses choir, organ, brass and percussion to create an inpiring setting of several biblical texts. His palette of harmonic colors is bold, beautiful, and sure to hold your ear throughout. This is what church music SHOULD be. If you're tired of all that "contemporary" TRIPE that is being shoved down your throat on Sunday mornings....buy this cd and remember the days when we tried to aspire to God's level......instead of bringing Him down to ours!
