A Festival of Nine Lessons and Carols(more) »rank: 1934by: King's College Choir, Stephen Cleobury
: :This disc could be more succinctly titled Christmas for Anglophiles. Few sounds are more British than the boy soprano-dominated Choir of King's College in Cambridge. And the group is heard--in some sections recorded live--in an actual Christmastide service amid the generous reverberation of a cathedral acoustic with little more than a tasteful though austere organ accompaniment. The repertoire isn't just conservative, traditional hymns and carols. One is harmonized by Ralph Vaughan Williams, and there are a number of contributions by contemporary composers Thomas Adès, Judith Weir, and John Tavener, all of which are probing, sincere, even personal examples of their art (and some ... |

We Three Kings(more) »rank: 5414by: Anthony Kearns, Ronan Tynan, Finbar Wright
: :There's a commercial inevitability to holiday song collections that can tempt music fans to mutter 'humbug' under their breath. Yet while this collection (released in conjunction with the Tenors' Christmas Spectacular tour of 2003) is no less market savvy, in the end the trio's earnest, energetic performances earn their fair shair of respect. The trio's Celtic shadings impart considerable warmth to 'Fairytale of New York' and other performances, but it's the range of influences they (also in solo and duet turns, all solidly backed by the Czech National Chamber Orchestra) bring to bear elsewhere that adds compelling new dimensions to these holiday favorites. ... |

Sacred Arias [Special Edition with Bonus DVD](more) »rank: 4890by: Andrea Bocelli, Giulio Caccini, Cesar Franck, Charles Gounod, Franz Xaver Gruber, George Frideric Handel, Jean-Paul Lecot, Eric Levi, Steven Mercurio, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Louis Niedermeyer, Gioachino Rossini, Franz Schubert, Giuseppe Verdi, John Francis Wade, Richard Wagner, Myung-Whun Chung, Santa Cecilia National Academy Orchestra Rome
:Album Description:Special Edition includes enhanced CD with bonus tracks and concert DVD. :When he was growing up, Andrea Bocelli recalls finding inspiration in a favorite recording of sacred music performed by tenor legend Franco Corelli. Bocelli--who in the meantime has come to inspire millions of fiercely loyal fans himself--returns to the genre as the guiding theme of Sacred Arias. These performances are filled with the singer's phenomenally well-known vocal signature: his flair for long, sweetly floating high notes and the gentle sense of cadence he brings to a melody. It's a mistake to compartmentalize Bocelli into a singer of 'operatic' versus 'popular' styles: ... |

Beethoven's Wig, Vol. 2: More Sing-Along Symphonies(more) »rank: 2310from: Rounder / Umgd
: :From a pure-pleasure standpoint, the first Beethoven's Wig was nothing to flip over, and the second disc in the series follows suit. However, that is not to say that this is not a valuable and possibly ingenious record. Those unfamiliar with the premise will quickly get the picture: Producer/writer/lead singer/chief clever guy Richard Perlmutter gathers a bundle of important classical works (Paganini's 'Violin Concerto #2,' Strauss' 'Blue Danube Waltz') and makes up silly, catchy lyrics to lay over them, informing the listener about the piece or its composer. Standing out for their offbeat brilliance this time are 'Dvorak the Czechoslovak' ('Humoresque #7,' Dvorak) ... |
