Jenkins: The Armed Man - A Mass For Peace

CD-Charts > Music > Opera and Vocal
from: Virgin

Release Date September 10, 2001
I would guess that the Amazon reviewer Warwick Thompson is under 25.
Anyway, he writes as if he is, judging by his use of the English language
("think Goldfinger", eeeeeeeeh!).
He also believes that L'Homme Armee is 16th century. Oh dear.
I find the reviews of the actual buyers much more to the point, wheher positive or negative.
Pity that the text of the Amazon reviewer is displayed at the top.
OK?

Jenkins - Quirk

CD-Charts > Music > Opera and Vocal
by: Karl Jenkins

Release Date October 06, 2008
I am at a loss as to what to think of this DISGRACE TO THE MUSICS, despite my fondness of the energetic track 6. "III. Chasing The Goose" I had found the rest of the work nothing short of a dishevelled mess. It pains my ears to listen to such triffle and if I wanted to emulate the results of this album I would gladly slam my head into a brick wall. Jenkins is simply too inexperienced with the art of orchestra to be appreciated!

The Best Gregorian Chant Album In The World... Ever!

CD-Charts > Music > Opera and Vocal
by: Monks & Choir Boys Of Downside Abbey

Release Date April 19, 2004
My wife (for whom I bought it) says that this CD set is very restful and soothing and I have to say that I quite like to hear the singing in the background whilst I slave away at the computer. And, of course, the great thing is that we got two CDs for about the price of one. Excellent!

Baby Einstein: Baby Mozart

CD-Charts > Music > Opera and Vocal

Release Date February 06, 2006
This was bought for my second child, who is now 2, but my 5 year old found it in the cd rack and wanted to listen to it, she loves it and insits on putting it on every night, she says it helps her to go to sleep! (and it does, I don't think she has even listened to the last few tracks as she is asleep before the end) Looking to buy some more now!

Divenire (Special Edition, BONUS DISC: 3 Brand New Remixes)

CD-Charts > Music > Opera and Vocal
by: Ludovico Einaudi

Release Date November 05, 2007
I picked this up after I was transfixed by the track Otremare which was used in the film This Is England. I'd read that most of the music by Einaudi sounds similar, yet each track is unique. I couldn't agree more. This is hughly addictive stuff. Mostly piano with the occasional string instrument thrown in, this makes for a great listen while pottering about or just winding down. I don't listen to a great deal of music like this generally so I can't really compare it to anything else or even claim to understand why I like it. But I do really like it.

Siempre

CD-Charts > Music > Opera and Vocal
by: Il Divo

Release Date November 27, 2006
Il Divo are fantastic. All their albums, DVD's and more recently their book are worth every penny. Simon Cowell absolutely knew what he was doing when he found these terrific guys who bring so much enjoyment. This is music as it should be, when it can move you so much. The people that run them down do not appreciate good music when they hear it. I personally listen to their music every day and never tire of it. Roll on the next CD/DVD.

Vaughan Williams: Fantasia On Christmas Carols, Hodie

CD-Charts > Music > Opera and Vocal
from: British Composers

Release Date October 02, 2000
I bought this a couple of years ago and return to it regularly - a sure sign of a good recording. I like the music of Vaughan Williams and this is a good example of his music. The Fantasia was a big surprise - its a lovely setting of some well known carols. John Barrow has a superb baritone voice. The Hodie takes a little more getting into but it is worth the effort. Both choirs and orchestra have good sounds. At this price you can't go wrong!
