A great intro to THE finest choir around
08/24/1999
(4 out of 5 stars)

"A borrowed copy from the library, many years ago, was my first full introduction to this great choir. I had heard of them from their performances on the Mannheim Steamroller Christmas albums but I think I was probably more drawn to the CD cover more than anything. The album is a great sampler work of some great performances. It includes a piece from Faure's "Requiem" as well as his incredibly haunting piece "Cantique de Jean Racine"; it also has some beautiful, early Christmas music I never knew existed, the very popular traditional hymn "All Things Bright & Beautiful", and a piece by Rutter himself, "Open Thou Mine Eyes", that holds its own and then some.The choice of selections put together may seem a bit odd, but it provides a great road map for further exploration of Rutter & the Cambridge Singer's other works, and some of the folk tunes seem a little silly, but all-in-all 'tis a fine album indeed."
