Kings college choir - Reviewed on 2008-11-10

Wonderful and angelic singing!
This choir sang the music I heard on one of the Sopranos episodes.
I had beens searching for this music for several years and finally found the answer on a website. Carmela sitting in living room listening to music on season 3 episode save us all from satan's fire.

Great disc - Reviewed on 2008-02-29

I just read J Morgan's review. I like Robert Shaw too, but Kings College Choir is fabulous. Too bad this disc is no longer available new.

The Christmas Spirit Soars - Reviewed on 2008-01-17

I live in the D.C. area and have the former Classical Station WGMS to thank for introducing me to the King's College Cambridge Choir. This wonderful radio station used to play gorgeous Christmas music all through December, but alas it (the station) is no more, which is why I bought the CD. The CD is exquisite, every carol fills me with the proper Christmas spirit of reverence, benevolence... to think of music doing that to a driver in this area is quite impressive, as the traffic around here would try the patience of St. Francis himself. Anyways, this music is an absolute joy, a blessing, a comfort, and I would recommend it with ten stars if I could. Do yourself a favor, buy this beautiful CD collection and truly FEEL the Christmas spirit in 08!!!

Excellent traditional Christmas music - Reviewed on 2008-01-16

This is familiar, traditional Christmas music, very well-crafted and performed in the Anglican style of hymnody. One of the best ever Christmas albums.

Wonderful, clear singing voices... - Reviewed on 2007-11-05

I always love King's College Christmas CD's. The music sung by these awesome voices is like hearing angels in heaven praising the newborn King. I have also sung some of the descants used with the old favorites like "O Come, All Ye Faithful". The soaring of the young boys' voices in songs like "Once In Royal David's City", is just beyond compare. Be sure to buy one or more of the King's College CD's and just sit, listen, and fully enjoy the music.
