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.

Album Description

International harpist Dominique Piana has toured extensively throughout the United States. In the pursuit of a multifaceted career of performing, teaching, recording and writing, Ms. Piana endeavors to communicate the life-transforming power of music to audiences from all walks of life.

Born in Belgium into a family of German background, Ms. Piana grew up in the French-speaking part of Brussels and was educated in the humanities, with an emphasis on classical languages. She studied piano throughout childhood at various Music Academies and turned to the harp just before entering the Royal Conservatory of Music, in the studio of Francette Bartholomee. She also commuted to Paris to study with Frederique Cambreling.

In 1980, at the invitation of master teacher Susan McDonald, Ms. Piana moved to the USA. She earned a Master of Arts degree from the Claremont Graduate University in California. Thereupon she served as Adjunct Professor of Harp at the University of Redlands and La Sierra University in Riverside until the summer of 2001. Throughout the years she has experimented with various creative approaches such as Music and Movement, applying them to the complexities of the harp in pedagogy and performance.

As a solo performer, Ms. Piana has made a specialty of historical recitals. The Romantic Spirit, a unique program of 19th century music and poetry, has been shaped by years of research into the harp and piano literature, matching feelings and ideas, musical substance and idiomatic writing. Her children's presentation The Poet's Harp unveils the magical tricks of this intriguing mechanical marvel with fanciful imagery.

In her ensemble work, Ms. Piana has experimented with numerous sound combinations and styles, partnering with flute, organ and various string combinations. She founded and conducted the Inland Empire Harp Ensemble in many Southern California appearances. She has explored the fascinating Sephardic tradition with cantor Gregory Yaroslow. She founded Duo Appassionata with violinist Sherry Kloss, whose distinctive "singing" style reflects the influence of her close association with Jascha Heifetz.

Ms. Piana introduced the Concerto for Harp by the Belgian composer Joseph Jongen to Southern California audiences with five performances during the 1991-92 season. She has unearthed many less known musical gems awaiting a fresh hearing.

She served as Program Chair for the 1992 National Conference of the American Harp Society. She has been listed in the International Who's Who in Music since 1990 and is on the touring roster of the California Arts Council.

If you're already stocked up on your favorite Christmas carols but are looking for a nice solid anthology of sacred music, this one certainly has a lot of enjoyment to offer. True, a little more thought could have gone into this themed compilation. What does the Largo from Handel's opera Serse, featuring countertenor Andreas Scholl (his name consistently misspelled on the CD, by the way), have to do with the Yuletide season? No matter, it is after all one of the world's supreme melodies, and Scholl is part of the motley collection of big-name performers Decca has culled from its catalog for this release, which also includes Luciano Pavarotti, Cecilia Bartoli, Marilyn Horne, Bryn Terfel, et al. The anthology is weighted heavily toward the baroque, with a number of Bach selections and seven tracks from Messiah (another work that has by popular tradition become most associated with Christmas even though it was conceived as an Easter celebration). The latter make a sort of mini-anthology within this anthology, giving you a series of "ultimate" moments from Handel's masterpiece--but you certainly won't want to be without the entire work. --Herbert Fellows

Customer Reviews:

Awesome voices.......2003-12-24

This CD is eloquent and so magnetically alluring. It begins with the ever so popular (sopranist) Ms. Leontyne Price's "Ave Maria" and finishes beautifully with the entire operatic voices of the English Choir in the song "Amen". I'm always floored by the voices of Ms. Leontyne Price and Mr. Jose Carrera. The instrumentalists and the great composing of many of the fine songs listed on this CD is superb; well job done by the conductors, very.

When I read what is on this CD and who performs it, I can not wait to order. Now only 4 stars, but I am sure that the 5th will be given after I heard this album. Kobus Kortmann

Beautiful..........2000-07-23

The King's Singers really do deserve all the amazing reviews they get, and this CD is a wonderful example of just what audiences and critics love about the group. The arrangements serve the songs perfectly, and several tracks feature added musicians and two guest soloists, only adding to the beauty that the Singers provide on every track. The liner notes give a nice background essay which serves to put the music in a nice historical context. Each song was also chosen to showcase a specific time or emotion of the night. The CD leaves the listener with a feeling of peace and beauty, making it perfect for a relaxing evening of listening in front of the fire (or on the porch in front of the fan for summer listening). Buy this CD and enjoy.

Customer Reviews:

One of my favorite Christmas albums ever!.......2007-01-11

I bought this album because one of my favorite soprani, Janice Chandler-Eteme is featured. I was not disappointed in the quality and I was thrilled to have a good recording of so many of Bach's Christmas-related chorales. I actually listen to this one year-round because much of it is not strictly Christmas music.

A stunning performance of Avo Part's Magnificat.......1999-08-04

The Havestehude Chamber Choir, under the direction of Claus Bantzer, perform Avo Part's "Magnificat" with exquisite dynamic control, and flawless intonation. This is a CD not to be missed. The focused sustained dissonances in the "Magnificat" will make you shiver with estacy. Part's music is not for the average amateur chorus, but with the considerable vocal resources that the Harvestehude Chamber Choir brings to bear the performance is stellar. The other works on the CD are also noteworthy, and exquisitely performed. This CD is a bargain at twice the asked-for price.

A wonderful recording, but you can find it repackaged for less.......2006-12-07

As of December, 2006, harmonia mundi has repackaged this cd as part of their "2006 Christmas Edition," calling it "Stille Nacht." It's a wonderful, atmospheric recording of the RIAS Kammerchor performing traditional German carols. Do yourself a favor before purchasing the product on this page, however. Look on Amazon for the "Stille Nacht" version, which features the identical tracks, comes in a small slip case, and sells for significantly less money.
