5 out of 5 stars A Listening Treat .......2007-03-08

What a delight to listen to this collection of pure Rutter ! The melodic sounds of the Cambridge Singers bring me such pleasure The sheer joyfulness of this music is to me a religious experience of such depth It is superb and will lift ones spirits instantly. highly recommended to all lovers of the English contemporary choral sound and scene,____ not to be missed

5 out of 5 stars Be Thoy My Vision CD.......2007-02-19

My husband sang many of these John Rutter compositions with his church choir, and this CD is perfect since the choir is directed by Rutter, singing his own music. If you love religious music, this will bring tears to your eyes, the choir is "that" perfect.

5 out of 5 stars Really good, but don't listen to it all at once........2007-01-07

I really liked this CD. It really showcases Rutter's knack for religious choral music. Perhaps it helps that I have sung some of his stuff with various groups. However, as with any similar compiliation, the composer's sameness of style and motif becomes apparent. This repetition can become boring on the third or fourth listening. On the other hand, this makes a great reference tool for any choral director or performer. Buy it, however, it's worth it, but don't listen to it all at once.

5 out of 5 stars A must for choral music fans.......2006-09-19

Simply fabulous, 10/10. These are all Rutter-composed pieces, directed by Rutter himself. If you have any interest in religious choral music at all, you must get this album! One of the highlights of my musical life was attending a concert of a University of Maryland choir in which my mom sang, that featured Rutter as a guest conductor. Listening to this album is almost as good! ;-) There are too many good pieces to start naming all of my favorites, but these are some of the best known ones: "Open Thou Mine Eyes", "A Gaelic Blessing", "All Things Bright and Beautiful", "As the Bridegroom to His Chosen", "For the Beauty of the Earth", and "The Lord Bless You and Keep You".

5 out of 5 stars An outstanding collection of Rutter's hymns.......2005-11-22

I sought a recording of Rutter's beautiful hymn, "Wings of the Morning", after we sang this lovely tune in church and this was the only CD I could find that contained it.

This collection includes many of Rutter's church hymns recorded over a period of 20 years performed by The Cambridge Singers, a group of Brits, that are conducted by the composer. Ergo, these performances must be considered definitive.

Many of Rutter's popular hymns are included here. "O be joyful to the Lord" and "All things bright and beautiful", a popular children's hymn done here by adults, follow "Wings of the morning" on tracks 5-7. Others you may have performed in church represented here are "O clap your hands", "Lord make me an instrument of your peace", "For the beauty of the earth", "Look at the world" and "The Lord bless you and keep you" among the 21 assembled hymns.

While The Cambridge Singers, on their Web site, identify themselves principally as an a capella group, I was pleased when I received this CD to find all the hymns supported by a full orchestra, the esteemed City of London Sinfonia. The renditions are uniformly lovely although some listeners may find the singing a bit on the white side lacking brilliance and individuality. Everything is done in keeping with Rutter's score markings and style.

The recording tends to be a little variable given the 20-plus year difference in performances. The most recent copyright listing is 2003, the same year "Wings of the morning" was published. I don't hear an appreciable difference in that recording than the others but still hear some age in older works.

If you seek a Rutter hymn collection you can't go wrong here. You have wonderful English performers mated to the composer in his more popular works. I'd recommend this without reservation to anyone seeking this collection.

5 out of 5 stars "Lord, How Come Me Here".......2007-06-18

I must add, to the praises above, that Kathleen Battle's "Lord, How Come Me Here" is the best "quick" explanation of the long-lasting effects of slavery that I can think of. The line, "They sold my children away," says it all.

And the VERY funny "Scandelize My Name" is also worth the price of the total album!

5 out of 5 stars WOW!.......2007-03-22

You know, after owning both the CD and VHS of this performance, and having been coached by Sylvia Olden Lee herself, it is no wonder why spiritual mean so much to me. And these two ladies bare their souls and bring these masterpieces to life! WOW!!!

5 out of 5 stars uhm......yeah right!!.......2006-06-21

Clearly you are mistaken. I don't know who that guy is-the person below recommended-but there is NO COMPARISON to JESSYE NORMAN AND KATHLEEN BATTLE!!!! Jessye Norman herself has *30* HONARY DOCTRATES from places like Harvard, Juliard, Yale, Cambridge....I mean HELLO!!!! That guy had no where near the ease, the musicality or even the breath support as these two veterans show!! It is a beautiful CD though it came out in 1991 and I HIGHLY recommend it.

2 out of 5 stars Broadway takes on the spiritual ..........2004-01-29

... takes it on and puts it on the canvas by the end of the first round.

I'm going to be the dissenting voice here: thank goodness I signed this disk out of the public library 'cause I'm sure not going to listen to it twice.

There is nothing wrong with the performances. Jessye Norman and Kathleen Battle sing beautifully, and there's no problem with the pick-up orchestra under James Levine.

The problem, and it's huge, is the conception of the show and the musical arrangements. To make the video marketable, I suppose, the producers decided that the concert had to be big: big names, big arrangements, big effects. So we have eighteen spirituals given the musical theatre treatment, with a philharmonic chorus providing chain-gang sound effects, big brass, and big percussion -- including a chinese gong. A chinese gong in a spiritual??? Spare me! Almost every track turns out sounding like either a curtain-raiser or a big, end-of-act production number with cute and predictable modulations between some of the stanzas and the sort of curly-cue orchestral ornamentation typical of Broadway shows.

And you know what? It all kills the spirituals stone dead. The spiritual is one of those musical forms where less is more and very little is best of all. That's how they started, after all. That's how and why they worked for their original audiences, and that's why they were powerful enough to make the transition from folk song to art song. If you want to hear Battle sing spirituals that are irresistible, listen to the set on her Salzburg recital CD, also with Levine (ASIN B00000E31B). There, the music speaks for itself and speaks with a strength and a beauty that the tracks on this disk never approach.

4 out of 5 stars The missing link?.......2006-12-21

Death From Above 1979 (DFA) blazed across the indie world and into that nether region between mainstream success and credibility. "You're a Woman, I'm a Machine" had some major money behind it, Vice's record imprint is technically part of Atlantic... I should say, major force, if not funds. That album was a short blast of dance-punk/metal noise that was wholly unexpected by most. Jesse's angular bass chops and Sebastian's furious Joy Division-esqe drumming created a heady brew. The mostly tongue in cheek lyrics and occasional analog synth blast just added to the mix.

However, bass and drum noisecore bands are nothing new: Lightning Bolt has been rocking that scene for over ten years. But making the same style music poppy (and sing-a-long) was pretty much unheard of. It's hard to quantify what made them so magic, but their only LP is insanely hard to put down... even over a year later.

Their first EP, "Heads Up" has since been reissued, to help fill in the catalog. Whether this is an opportunistic grab from Last Gang, is immaterial, although the re-release fixes the old textual errors (the original release had the wrong website and "Death From Above" without the 1979 appended... pre-"cease and desist letter") and adds new ones ("Too Much Love" is misspelled).

Since the band broke up, chances are you will pick this up and it's well worth the price. Judging this record in comparison to "You're a Woman..", it gets four stars. However, in the grander scheme it's a little more mediocre. Remember this was originally released in 2002. Jesse and Sebastian endured two more years of sweaty basement gigs before they achieved success.

Of course the record quality is lower, more consistent with self produced home studio albums. If that turns you off, be thankful that "You're a Woman..." is so sparkly... indie music in general, might not be for you. Remember some of the greatest indie records of the last twenty five years were pretty rough (Black Flag's "Damaged I", The Wrens "Secaucus", At The Drive-In's "In Casino Out", etc). If anything, it's more consistent with noisecore... even if DFA isn't technically a noisecore band (Jesse's background is more arty-retro punk). After all, Lightning Bolt tries to make records sound "live".

The album starts out with, what sounds like Japenese or gibberish through a vocoder and rockets into "Dead Womb" (a song that evokes some of the quicker moments on "You're a Woman..."). "Dead Womb" is a quicker step and a little less "dancey" than anything on "You're a Woman", almost more punk. The next song, "Too Much Love" continues like that... actually a little more driving as the song doesn't really break up for a hook. "Too Much Love" actually has Jesse singing too, one of the few times you really hear him doing background vocals. "Do It!" (live) actually is probably my favorite track on the album. It starts with a little synth and breaks up for a long vocoder piece in the middle (laid over some double bass drumming). Except for the intro and outro, "Do It!" sounds just like the other tracks (in terms of production)... that's only mentionable because it's a live album. "Do It!" seems to be more metal too... the drumming is slightly more technical and entwined with the bass. "My Love is Shared" has a pretty big hook, which the earlier songs don't really have. "Losing Friends" starts with pummeling drum work and a very rhythmic bass part, quickly going into the metal-punk-dance style that they would build on for "You're a Woman...". One major distinction is that played with a full band, it would actually make a pretty convincing punk-metal/metalcore anthem. Crazy, eh? The album ends with "If We Don't Make It, We'll Fake It", a longer more screamy song, with a weird synth/vocoder outro.

What makes this different form "You're a Woman..."?

Well, the vocals are more distorted and nothing is double-tracked. While the casual listener interprets this as "poor production", it is actually proof that the band was just as good live as they were in a big studio. Another big distinction is the ability to hear the background vocals.

Overall, this is a more aggressive, less poppy release than their album. Since it lacks the extreme polish it isn't a stretch to say that it might not be for everyone. Yet, you should pick it up, anyway (only 2000 copies were made of the re-issue) and listen to it thoughtfully. DFA was brilliantly punk, self destructing before they could ruin their credibility and this just adds to an album that will become legendary in the future.

Buy it!

4 out of 5 stars shit's mostly hot........2006-07-17

I wish the overall sound was louder and more clear. Maybe a production issue. Still DFA, still rocks for the jocks...

5 out of 5 stars Better than the full length.......2006-04-11

It didn't take me too long to warm up to this band, although at times the singer's voice annoys me a bit. All the same this is a 5 star EP all the way, whereas "You're a Woman, I'm a Machine" is more a 4 or 4 and a half star effort.

I love "You're a Woman..." but this disc just kills, start to finish, whereas the previously mentioned full length disc had a weak track or 2. Also the drumming is way heavier on this one.

Any fans of this band not having heard this disc yet would be well advised to pick it up. It's not even 14 minutes, but furious drum & bass action with pile-driving riffs all the way.

5 out of 5 stars this album..........2006-02-14

This album, in my opinion, is even greater than You're A Woman, I'm a Machine. If you're a fan of DFA, this album will not disapoint!

4 out of 5 stars Something Different.......2006-01-30

I bought this album after I bought You're a Woman, I'm a Machine because it had never-before-heard tracks that was not repeated on a main album. This album is truly different from You're a Woman, I'm a Machine. DFA'79 seems to have a little more experimentation involved as well as harder, less techno-ish sound they have had on other albums. The lyrics involved in this album are more in your face then You're a Woman. Some flaws are it seems like they recorded this in a basement with a single microphone and some old recording machines. The sound quality is terrible, the only track I will not say it is their fault is Do It! because it is a live track (most live tracks do sound bad.) I kind of wish they didn't put these out on a EP and released them on a full-length album with a more professional-sound quality. Some album highlights for me include Dead Womb, Too Much Love, and Losing Friends.
Dead Womb is a intense song that is some of the most aggressive I heard them play.
Too Much Love is a catchy song with a nice bass riff.
And Losing Friends is a personal favorite because of the lyrics alone.

    5 out of 5 stars The picture.......2006-12-11

    I haven't purchased the CD but the picture of the inside of a church on the cover is not of a British church, like one would assume since it says its a recording of British choirs. This picture is of Notre Dame Basilica in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. Just thought i'd let you know. I'll be honest; I'm one to judge things by it's cover and if the company took such care to choose a 'British' church for their British choir CD, I'm willing to bet the music is equally well selected... I'm being sarcastic. But I gave the product 5 stars because I didn't want to hurt its ratings just because i'm cynical. But check out the church if you're ever in Montreal, it's truly beautiful... here I'm not being sarcastic.

      5 out of 5 stars Another fine addition to the series.......2001-02-13

      After a bit of a slip with the second, this series was back on track with this third CD of songs cut from well-known musicals. As I mentioned in a previous review, just about any successful musical has had songs cut from it, not always because the song wasn't good, but because it no longer fit the show as updated, or a character or scene was cut (the booklet explains why each song was removed from its show). Once again, the songs are all good and the performances are wonderful. My favorites are "Mama's Talking Soft" (cut from Gypsy), "Big Fat Heart" (Seesaw), "Your Own College Band" (Where's Charley?), "When I Go Out Walkin' with my Baby" (Oklahoma!), and "Pick Up the Pieces" (also Seesaw). Bruce Kimmel was smart in using show singers instead of pop singers. I recommend the entire series. This CD features some fine songs that deserve renewed appreciation.

      5 out of 5 stars Heavenly music - amazing authentic Renaissance recipes!.......2005-06-08

      This is an absolutely superb CD in every respect. The excellent selection of songs encompasses some of the finest composers of the Late Middle Ages-Renaissance including earlier masters such as Machaut, Binchois, Dufay as well as some exceptional composers of the Prima Prattica such as Isaac and his pupil Senfl. Compositions from France, England, Spain/Portugal, Germany, Italy and Burgandy are all represented too. The Isaac chanson 'Donna di dentro' may well be my favorite of this whole CD.

      Equally exciting is the fantastic recipe book that comes with the lavish booklet. I have many a cook book and I can tell you this is as good as any of them and an absolute must if you are a Renaissance music enthusiast. Just as many a great score has laid in museums gathering dust for centuries, so too have many cook books been forgotten and their recipes lost to time. The efforts of many reknown contemporary chefs have been employed to resurrect some of these gems. The food tastes like nothing I have ever tried before - like listening to Renaissance music for the first time. If feels like you have stuck your spoon and knife (forks were a later invention and no self-respecting HIP music lover would eat this food with one!) into a Renaissance still life picture of a lavish meal and started eating.

      One suggestion: definitely try the 'orange omelette for pimps and harlots'. Only thing routinely use one whole orange (peeled and put through a blender) AND a couple of tablespoons of a light non-bitter orange marmalade. Skip the extra added sugar and instead add some Cointreau to the mixture. Then serve hot with ice cream as a desert (desert omelettes are a sadly lost art), unless you feel that you HAVE to keep these strictly HIP because they didn't have ice cream in those days - make sure your favourite song from this CD is playing. You will think you have died and gone to heaven.

      Hearing the spirit of the Renaissance is one thing but to also see it, taste it, smell it - now that's something else!!! I strongly suggest buying now as these sort of releases then to dissappear and if it does reappear the wonderful CD booklet with its recipes will likely be missing.

      5 out of 5 stars An irresistible combination of great food and music........2001-12-04

      Food, Wine and Song is an irresistible combination of great food and music. I've even tried one of the recipes - the bread, almond and saffron pudding with a fig crust. It was delicious and preparing it while the CD played was inspiring. It was a perfect way to start this winter cooking season. The packaging is elegant!

      4 out of 5 stars Another great trip down the MFU memory lane.......2005-10-19

      Volume 2 (comprised of 2 CDs) is another first rate compilation of the series' original music and not to be missed by U.N.C.L.E. fans. The liner notes are wonderful and add a lot to ones appreciation of the music.

      My only problem is that THE CDs ARE COPY PROTECTED! Considerable work is needed to get the music onto your iPod, if you really want the music in your mp3 collection. This is a major hassle and a surprise, since the first set in the series was not copy protected.

      5 out of 5 stars The best of the three Double CDs ORIGINAL soundtrack release.......2005-07-12

      Many of us have always thought The Man From UNCLE had the best music for a TV series ever, and this three double CD release confirms this. Wow! I'd be just happy with one CD, but having SIX (three double CDs packages) is absolutely out of this world, I mean, a lifetime wait come true.

      Indeed, this is an unbelievable collection of three double CDs packages with the complete series soundtrack, and I mean the complete music, not a tune is missing.

      And this is the ORIGINAL Man From Uncle music. Let me stress the point: this is the four years ORIGINAL soundtrack with the original recordings as they were heard throughout the series, not a no-name orchestra doing personal versions of the stuff. The audio transfer is very, very good, the music from late episodes is even in stereo.

      Each individual CD carries over 70 minutes of music. All in all there you have the four TV seasons main titles and all, absolutely all of TMFU unforgetable music.

      This is not a chronological release, meaning, all CDs have a mix of music from all four TV seasons. Volume 1 is heavier on early TV seasons stuff, fans of Jerry Goldsmith will love it. Those of us who prefer what Gerald Fried and later Richard Shores did with TMFU music, then volume 2 is mandatory. If you are a fan, you can't miss any of these six CDs. However if buying all three double packages is too much for you, you must go with Volume 2, no questions asked. Volume three is the weakest of them as it brings "suites" and a whole CD with "The Girl From Uncle" soundtrack, but you have a bonus "Open Channel D" beeper.

      Each package is gorgeous, each with a glossy color booklet with extensive liner notes with details on how each tune was written to a specific TV series episode and how it was used onwards. You have bios on the composers, on how the recordings were made, even an overview on how many instruments were available in each of the years the music was recorded.

      So, throw away your Hugo Montenegro Man From Uncle CD, this is the REAL thing.
