Amazon.com
This lovely CD features Renée Fleming singing religious music in an unaffected, lovely manner. Many favorites are here: both the Bach/Gounod and Schubert versions of "Ave Maria," each offered with long breaths and soft tone; "Rejoice Greatly" from Messiah, delivered with virtuosity and gleaming sound, and "He Shall Feed His Flock," also from Messiah, sung in a smooth, laid-back manner. Bits of the Fauré Requiem and Poulenc Gloria are welcome, as is the gorgeous "L'Adieu des Bergers" from L'Enfance du Christ. In the prayer from Humperdinck's Hansel und Gretel, Fleming is joined by the splendid Susan Graham, and a version of "Amazing Grace" features Mark O'Connor on violin. Two excerpts from Mozart's Mass in C Minor, pieces by Reger and Franck, and a few surprises round out this devotional CD. --Robert Levine
Customer Reviews:
I hate to be rude, but . . ........2007-05-06
As stated earlier, I hate to be rude. However, Renee Fleming is not one of the greatest singers that I have heard. At many times, it sounds as if she is drunk, sliding into her notes at times. She also has a habit of hitting a note, and then quickly moving up or down for "dramatic effect". I'm sorry, but I just cannot listen to this. I know that everyone has their own opinions, and this is mine.
She is still a beautiful woman, and always will be. I have seen her concerts online, and she ISN'T bad, it's just that she doesn't have what I'm looking for in an opera singer!
Outstanding.......2007-03-07
I had seen this program on PBS and wanted the CD. Wonderful selection
of music and Renee Fleming's outstanding voice.
Sacred Songs.......2007-01-21
I always look for new presentations of Christmas songs. Rene Flemming did an excellent job in this recording. She has a super voice but sometimes the words of the song get lost in her singing style
My favorite of Fleming's CDs so far.......2006-12-07
There are only two cuts on this CD I tend to flip past (Amazing Grace and the Leonard Bernstein cut), but other than them, I totally love the rest! The cuts in German are divine! I could listen to this CD over and over again.
Inspiring and beautiful.......2006-07-20
I've always loved Renee Fleming's singing and this most recent album is just beautiful in every way. A rich voice, beautiful singing and a devout and magnificent artist. She makes even the most notorious evergreens come to life anew. I enjoyed it very much.

A must have in your collection!.......2007-01-03
I backed my way into this CD - I heard the choir singing background on a song that's on Brian Stokes Mitchell's CD, and wanted to learn more about them. So I googled the Broadway Inspirational Voices and came up with this CD. I ordered it, and my musical world was transformed. I gave the CD to my choir director, and our choir performed 2 songs from the CD for the holiday services, much to the delight of our congregation. Everyone I have recommended this CD to has fallen in love with it. The arrangements, the singing, and the overall musicianship are at such a high level that you simply MUST HAVE this in your collection. You will NOT be disappointed!!!
One of the Best!!!.......2006-12-10
I ordered this CD this year after listening to a sample (Joy to the World). I knew I had to have this CD. When it arrived and I listened to it, I was just amazed. Michael McElroy and his crew did an outstanding job on this compilation. The music is awesome. The singing is wonderful. EVERY song is simply amazing, and it causes you to sing along with them. I simply enjoy the fact that they sing the traditional songs and put a little twist to them, but easy to catch on to. If you buy this CD, you will simply enjoy it very much. One of the absolute best. I give it 10 stars!!!!
Puts Me in the Holiday Spirit!.......2005-11-02
Great Joy has quickly become my favorite Christmas album! The Broadway Inspirational Voices bring so much energy and well, joy, to every song. It also features solos by some great Broadway performers (Gavin Creel, Billy Porter, etc.).
Great Joy! Great Scott! Powerfully inspirational!.......2003-12-05
I read about this CD in the NY Daily News, and ordered a copy. WOW! The CD is literally thrilling, like being at a live concert! Some big time singers make up this CD, Billy Porter has an amazin solo, Gavin Creel's voice is as beautiful as any, Michael McElroy is a genius! If you buy one Christmas CD, this is the one. Beautiful, powerful, and true to the title, it has brought me great joy. I am getting a few more for gifts, this is truly something to share in this season.

Customer Reviews:
Christmas Carols at there best.......2005-10-18
It does not get any better. This 2 cd set is outstanding.
As one reviewer notes the second disk has many carols not heard by most people in the USA. I heard them growing up, but most are hard to find on an album.
Christmas is not Christmas without King's College Choir singing carols.
A great collection... :)
Nice Christmas CD.......2004-01-10
In my haste for looking for some traditional and exuberant Christmas music, and in my blinding affinity for all things "King's", I purchased this cd. It is a nice compelation, although I, and I daresay many Americans, am not very familiar at all with most of the hymns/carols on the 2nd cd. Morever, I found most of the music lacking in pomp and circumstance. Of course, now, I understand that is not what this cd set is for. If you want big sound and more familiar tunes, try something else.
The Best Christmas CD Ever.......1999-12-19
If you are seeking a CD of traditional Christmas music to help you 1) focus on the true meaning of the holiday and 2)draw near to God, this is it. The choral arrangements are alternately beautiful and powerful, delicate and majestic. There is a rich heritage of European carols which 99% of Americans know nothing of. Broaden your horizons with this disc. You won't regret it.
A masterpiece........1999-01-04
David Willcocks has produced, without question, the most elegant and dignified collection of Christmas choral music available. This CD is a masterpiece.
You need one traditional Xmas cd - this is it........1998-11-30
Yes, most of the stuff was originally recorded in the 50's and 60's and it's not going to win prizes for signal to noise ratio. However, if you, like me break out in a sweat hunting for a xmas cd which won't contain some desperate wannabe modernised rehash of carols or a "listen to me aren't I a good tenor/diva and by the way here are some carols?" tracks, then this is your album.
From the moment track one started, with a belting rendition of "Hark the Herald Angels", I had a grin on my face from ear to ear. Warm memories of xmases past flood back, cooking, carols, snow and presents. Yes - dreamily rose-colored, revisionist and traditional it is, but worth every penny in this cynical cyber world.

Excellent recording of a Britten Classic!.......2007-02-06
There are two basic reasons to purchase recordings by choral groups:
1. For personal listening enjoyment
2. For demonstration purposes
As a director of Junior and Senior High choirs, I needed a clear, correct performance of "Ceremony of Carols". This recording served my purpose well. As a matter of fact, it serves both reasons I've given; it pleases ME with the additional selections by a fine choir as well as provides the perfect example of 'how to sing' these Britten beauties for my young people.
Choirs combine to provide a powerful experience.......2000-11-29
This is really a combination of two cd's on one. The first part combines the Christ Church Cathedral Girls' Choir with the Boys' Choir of the Christ Church Cathedral Choir of Men and Boys. The experience in these two groups rivals those of any choir in the world despite all being under age 18. Their voices combine beautifully on the wide range of emotions in Britten's Ceremony of Carols. To say it is heavenly would be an understatement.
The second half of this cd features the Men of the Choir of Men and Boys. Singing the lower three parts (alto, tenor, and bass, one is transported to the Middle Ages and the monastaries of England and Europe. The lusty singing of these less familiar Christmas carols illustrates the one time a year the monks allowed themselves to be human.
I highly recommend this CD for any lover of Benjamin Britten and for any person looking for an alternative to the standard Christmas fare.

Good Variety.......2005-12-19
The Shrine Choir sings very nicely for the most part on this recording. The variety of Marian texts and settings are interspersed with some organ improvisations. The are some really exquisite moments, such as "Virgin Great and Glorious" and Britten's "Hymn to the Virgin." The Reichwein "Ave Maris Stella" is the most tonally ambiguous work on the recording, and contributes an avant-garde element.
But perhaps in late-night recording sessions, some really poor vocalism has slipped inder the radar, notably in the Palistrina "Ave Maria."
Overall, the Shrine Choir has chosen the repertoire they do best and expoited it to full potential on this album. Certainly worth your fifteen bucks.
