Customer Reviews:
Perfect for the Season.......2005-11-19
I purchased this years ago and the enjoyment has grown every Christmas. Handel's Messiah is beautiful, The Nutcracker is a classic and the arrangement of hymns conveys the true wonders of the season. While there is a place for pop carols, these classics should be in every Christian's music library. I loved this so much, I actually purchased a complete replacement set when I lost one of the discs. Certainly an excellent value that any music lover would treasure.
FOR WHISTLING OR SINGING ALONG.......2003-12-28
The gifted Richard Hayman (Boston Pops arranger for more than 30 years) offers an interesting collection of holiday favourites. The back cover says "Orchestra and Chorus" - beware, there is no chorus. The sub-title "Philharmomic Symphony Orchestra" is rather pedantic. Why not simply "Richard Hayman and His Orchestra"? The opening and closing numbers are sing-along medleys... the liner notes offer the words. Two Leroy Anderson numbers receive a fair treatment: SLEIGH RIDE and SONG OF THE BELLS, the latter being played rrather slowly. There is a beautiful rendition of MUSIC BOX DANCER, the only version I know that uses the music box. The counter-melody is too loud and takes away the charm of the main theme. A few compositions by the conductor himself. A great collection for tree-trimming, whistling or singing along.

Customer Reviews:
Northern Period Counterpoint to "Sacred Harp".......2006-10-05
A beautiful collection of "low-church" hymns in a folk style, but from the North. Some similarities to Sacred Harp-style shape-note singing, mostly found in the South, but from New England and largely taken from mid-19th Century period sources. Extremely well-performed and haunting, these songs will be running through your head for weeks after your mega-church's latest electric guitar extravaganza fades away.
Nearly Lost Heritage.......2000-08-09
I am appreciative of any CD, such as this one, that brings the sounds of traditional hymns to modern ears. This CD includes familiar gospel with not so familiar hymns that whisper of a rich heritage nearly lost in the maze o modern choruses. Many of these modern songs lack the genuine passion found in the traditional songs found on this CD. I recommend this CD to those who are interested in cultural history as well as in beautiful hymn texts.

Customer Reviews:
Top 10 Christmas Album.......2004-02-02
Any true lover and connoisseur of Christmas music would put this in their "Top 10" of Christmas recordings. Why? Few modern Christmas recordings genuinely revere the Birth Of Christ. John Rutter literally worships at the feet of the Christ Child. Rutter offers 23 choral selections, most his compositions, others of European tradition, that imbue the rootedness and wonderous awe that is the spirit and 'magic' of Christmas.
Noteworthy are 'Mary's Lullaby,' a Rutter original and 'Fantasia on Christmas carols,' the 1912 compilation by R. Vaughan Williams that balances a baritone soloist against the choral discipline of the Cambridge Singers to invoke several spine-tingling and misty-eyed moments.
A Masterwork among Chrismas recordings.
A Beautiful and Rich Collection of Christmas Music.......2003-10-08
The Cambridge Singers, led by John Rutter, certainly add joy to the Christmas season. This recording has familiar standards, lesser known carols, and some Rutter originals. Rutter's "Jesus Child" had a contagious calypso flair, his "Star Carol" has a feel of innocence and beauty, and his reflective "Very Best Time of the Year" can put a person in the mood for the holiday. The ensemble's is beautiful. It is easy to see why so many people add this disk to their music collection.
A great soundtrack for Christmas morning.......2001-12-16
The Cambridge Singers, led by John Rutter and tastefully accompanied by the City of London Sinfonia, highlight works and arrangements by English composers, including Rutter, Vaughn Williams, Peter Warlock, David Willcocks, and John Tavener. The result is a beautiful mixture of carols that is not your average choral Christmas album. Still, the Cambridge Singers are a very accessible (i.e. easy to listen to) choral group who know how to sing well. I would also recommend their Christmas Night: Carols of the Nativity compilation as a nice companion to this CD. Chances are you'll want to hear more after this album, anyway.
Beautiful Rutter, With a Bounty of His Own Compositions.......2000-09-21
This is yet another collection of the beautiful sounds, which John Rutter creates with a choir. The ethereal quality of these performances is almost palpable. Always especially enjoyable are Rutter's own compositions. While his CD's usually contain two or three of his works, on this CD, out of the 23 selections, eight were composed by John Rutter, a rich bonus indeed.
Rutter and the Cambridge Singers at their best........1998-12-16
I discovered John Rutter and the Cambridge Singers ten years ago and can't imagine the holidays without them. Christmas Day in the Morning is my favorite. The variety of literature and the flow of the listing makes it perfect for repeat listening. Enjoy!

LORD RICHARD Remember the movie, Grand Canyon? One just never knows when a single phone call from an unknown admirer can result in major changes in direction. Such was the case when Dan Minicus called me and asked, Do you know anyone interested in buying a harpsichord? I wasn't really interested, but I had these harpsichord pieces I wanted to record. Due to instrument problems, an unsuccessful recording attempt in Chicago stopped me in my tracks, but the desire was still there.
I went to Dan's place and looked. I wanted to play it, but nothing worked. But I could tell, however, that the instrument was one of very high quality - a German Sperrhake-Passau (made by Sperrhake in Passau, Germany). 8 feet long, two manuals, three ranks, two lute stops, and four pedals to operate the ranks and coupling. And heavy! The type of harpsichord preferred by the late conductor Herbert von Karajan for so many of his concerts and recordings. It would need careful attention, but I purchased it, knowing that my friend and colleague, Dwight Thomas, would be able to restore it. He concurred. He had to re-quill it and almost completely renovate the instrument. When finished, he had to teach me to tune it! (But that's another, very long story!) Now it's wonderful. A joy to play, and a thrill to hear.
And its history? It was given by the English actor, Richard Harris, as a gift to songwriter Jimmy Webb. (Hence the harpsichord's moniker, Lord Richard.) An avid member of the Jimmy Webb fan club, Dan Minicus bought the instrument from Jimmy about 15 years ago. Jimmy had used it in New York during the period when he was writing MacArthur Park. Legend has it that he drank tea a lot, and often placed his teapot and cup on the harpsichord. The tell-tale rings are still there. Jimmy, if you hear this CD, I hope you enjoy hearing your harpsichord. And Dan - thanks for the Grand Canyon phone call.

JACKSON BERKEY
Hailed by FANFARE magazine as a lounge lizard for his recording made on the famous Horowitz Steinway, Jackson Berkey's keyboard career spans over forty years of touring and concertizing as a soloist, as pianist for the Norman Luboff Choir, and as featured keyboard artist with the Grammy Award-winning Mannheim Steamroller. He has recorded over twenty-five CDs on the SDG Records and American Gramaphone labels.
An active composer of both sacred and secular choral music, his works have been recorded and performed by hundreds of ensembles across the US and Europe. Jackson has received annual ASCAP awards for his performances over the past 7 years and, accompanied by his Lady Almeda, regularly appears in artist concerts and festivals.
In the early 1990's, Berkey began writing and publishing more instrumental and keyboard music. and since 1992 he has published two books of Piano Derivations, Cape May Preludes,and the Piano Trio Kassarjian. Also in print are piano 4-hand versions of 6Pence, Hosanna Down!, and Homage to Thomas Campion. Piano and harpsichord pieces in preparation at the time of this recording include Cape May Winterludes, Hood Canal Pastels and Lord Richard's Almanac. Works for the Christmas season include Organ Carols, Anniversary Carols for Organ, and the two books of Keyboard Carols. All of the latter were originally written for solo harpsichord but are here recorded on varied keyboards, and often in combination with harp.
