Amazon.co.uk Review
Anyone who has ever sung in a church choir or choral society will enjoy this two-disc compilation of religious choral music. Some 29 tracks of complete short works or excerpts from larger pieces, written over the past 500 years, have been selected from recordings by cathedral, chapel and professional choirs. They range from Tallis's Spem in Alium to Arvo Pärt's De Profundis and Britten's A.M.D.G., and include the Schütz Choir of London singing a chorus from Brahms' German Requiem, Harry Christophers and the Sixteen performing a Poulenc motet, the Taverner Consort, which provides six tracks, and the Bamburg Symphony Orchestra and Chorus (with soprano Christiane Oelze as soloist) singing Bruckner's setting of Psalm 150. Much of this music is more familiar today in the concert hall than in a liturgical setting, and whether some of the composers were religious or not, or even believed in God, hardly matters. The sound of combined human voices and the words they had to set inspired them all to produce music that is simultaneously calming and uplifting, allowing them to create music that continues to reach deep into the human psyche. --Richard Fawkes

Exquisite Music and superb value for money! January 22, 2004
6 out of 6 found this review helpful
This 2 CD set of Choral works is very broad ranging, and would suit a concert-goer's taste well. It is as good as actually being there! The scope of work performed is from early Baroque to modern [ Benjamin Britain], and with some works accompanied by Organ, chamber and orchestral backing, as was intended. No disappointment, here-just a perfect evening's entertainment in the full sense. Performed to the highest perfection. Highly recommended both with regard to the performers, and the quality of the recording. [It rather reminds me of New College, Oxford, where I used to attend the Autumn Term 'Choral Season']. The recording times are CD1-75.03mins. and CD2-77.04 respectively, very good value indeed- for perfection!
An excellent CD June 7, 2002

Some of the performances on display here are astonishing. Particularly notable is the Sixteen, whose performance of a Poulenc Motet is exceedingly beautiful and delicate. The first CD contains many fine period performances while the second is a very interesting collection of more modern masterpieces. Well worth buying.
