The Old Rugged Cross: 34 Brass Band Favourites

Search: Guide Me O Thou Great Redeemer
by: Grimethorpe Colliery UK Coal Band

Release Date January 05, 1998
Digitally remastered from old Pye recordings the effect is simply painful. I could not comment on what it may have sounded like on vinyl, but on CD the effect is lifeless, the bass part often sounds slightly out of tune, the arrangements are tedious, and multiple verses are often simply repeated (ad nauseam).

The selection of hymn tunes include many stock favourites, but the rendition would be worthy of a junior school band.

Perhaps the only reason for having it is to remind us how much better some other recordings can be.

Best Of Brass

Search: Guide Me O Thou Great Redeemer
by: Various Artists

Release Date February 26, 2008
Brighouse & Rastrick, Black Dyke, Grimethorpe and Yorkshire Imps ... you would have thought this was a good bet for a good box set! Wrong!

This is a disaster of a box set. The recordings are dire - mostly sounding like the bands are playing inside a cardboard box. I've never heard so many split notes from professional players!

I'm not surprised the soloists aren't named - I would be ashamed to be a named player here!

Save your money. Buy a good brass band CD ... not this!

Voices Of The Valley Encore

Search: Guide Me O Thou Great Redeemer
by: Fron Male Voice Choir

Release Date November 19, 2007
This could be any reasonably competent male voice choir. I WAS VERY DIASAPPOINTED WITH IT. It did not have the depth and resonance and passion of a 'proper' Welsh male voice choir like Treorchy.
It seems like a sanitised version.
Nowhere near good enough!!!

Charlotte Church

Search: Guide Me O Thou Great Redeemer
by: Charlotte Church

Release Date April 30, 2001
This CD has very uplifting and meaningful words. The songs captured my heart, and left me humming the songs for days afterwards. I couldn't believe the strongness, and power that Charlotte Chuch's voice holds, especially for such a young person as she. Her voice on this CD is truley remakable, and she left me day-dreaming for hours on end. There are lots and lots of wonderful things that i can say about this CD, but i would be going well over the 1,000 word limit, so, all in all, i love this CD, and i love Charlotte Church and her amazing voice!!
