The Best of Anthony Way

CD-Charts > Music > Traditional and Carols
from: Decca

Release Date November 02, 1998
What a wonderfully sweet and rather husky treble voice Anthony Way possessed, which he used to full advantage in all the excellent recordings he made. I have needless to say got all of his CD's including this great complilation, albeit one track is missing that I feel should be included here from his first solo CD The Choirboy called 'In Flanders'. It is a very poignant poem written by a homesick soldier during World War 1, and its omission from this CD rather a shame as some people will not have heard it. That aside I love all the songs on this Best of Anthony Way record and Suo Gan and Bailero also from the afore mentioned first solo CD ARE on this album, (two of my favourites).
What a beautiful musical journey for this young man to reflect ... Read More:

Rubbra - Choral Works

CD-Charts > Music > Traditional and Carols
from: Asv

Release Date August 01, 2000
Rubbra's choral works form an important part of his output and this disc consists entirely of pieces for unaccompanied choir. The 'Five Motets' (1934) is an early work in which he set various mystical poets. There are many moments of great beauty in these pieces, echoing the mystical imagery of the poems.

Next come a group of four carols collected together for the purpose of this recording. They are lovely and fairly simple songs, the second one being in French.

Rubbra set the Mass five times, and the Missa à 3 is the third. It was commissioned to suit a very small choir and is sung in three parts - hence the name. The Sanctus is very beautiful for all its 52 seconds! The Mass ends with a haunting Agnus Dei. A little gem ... Read More:

Christmas Carol: The Movie

CD-Charts > Music > Traditional and Carols
by: Various

Release Date December 03, 2001
This great album comes from the film "A Christmas Carol" and features the song "What if" sung by Kate Winslett, which she didn't want to record at first and that would have been a huge shame. The rest of the album is filled up with music from the film, normal Christmas songs and a couple that are sung by Charlotte Church.
This album is great for anybody who liked the film and even for those who haven't. You can just listen to the music and pretend it's Christmas over and over again!
