CD Reviews

Good recording of a great set of performances

Matthew T. Phillips | Winston-Salem, NC USA | 03/17/2001

(4 out of 5 stars)

"The title "Hymns through the Centuries" is easy to use, but this recording actually does a wonderful job of representing hymns from several time periods, including music from the late twentieth century that deserves to be in such a collection. The choir's performance is very good, as is the work of the organist, which unfortunately is balanced poorly with the choir in the recording (the organ is at too quiet a level behind the choir, a condition I am sure did not exist in live performance). I am a choral music fan, but I truly love the organ, so that problem keeps me from rating it higher. The fantastic selection of hymns, as well as the well-though treatments thereof, still make this a wonderful CD for church music fans to own."

A wonderful collection of traditional hymns

rockerford | Oregon | 05/29/2000

(5 out of 5 stars)

"These hymns are splendidly performed by the Cathedral Choral Society. The choir deftly moves from plaintive whispers of sound to magnificent block-chords -- complete with soaring descants -- without a sense of whiplash.This disc represents a top-notch set of inspirational hymns performed exquisitely by a well-rehearsed choir backed by a magnificent pipe organ. It is fabulous."

Sublime

rockerford | 01/14/2001

(5 out of 5 stars)

"The organ, choir, and occasional bells blend together here in the sonorities of the Washington National Cathedral. This disc is a must-hear if you enjoy choral music at all.The bells and subtle accompaniment in "Let all mortal flesh keep silence" is marvelous. Some of these hymns, like "Abide with me" are quiet and reflective. Others, like "Praise, my soul, the King of Heaven" have a wonderful organ intro; the first verse is sung unison, the second verse is sung in parts and the third verse is sung unison with celestial descants that are superb.You will hear "Amazing Grace" like you have probably never heard it before. It's done acapella, and it's powerful! There are moments of tenderness and grandeur spread liberally throughout this disc; it is one of the best discs I have ever purchased."
