I was present at the live concert at the Barbican in August 2007 when this was recorded. It was probably the best concert ever attended, and the recording shows this in it's energy, yet passionate and sensitive qualities.Harry Christoper ,The Sixteen and the Academy of St martin's in the field have produced a superb C.D..

Unlike some classical recordings, the orchestra doesn't overpower the choir in this one. This is especially important when there is a children's choir involved. The Mass of the Children is a beautiful piece - fans of Rutter will not be disappointed.

Fabulous from beginning to end.I deeply resent the blindness of the so-called "experts" who have deprived my experiencing this glorious music for my sixty years of listening.This is an unfolding tissue of music that is at once luscious,philosophical, erotic, impassioned, sensuous and magnificent. It is the only work I know to equal Delius's Mass of life and Elgar's Apostles.As the great critic Ernest Newman once said of it, "the choruses are almost crushing in their greatness".

This disc has blown me away and would be my choice for Disc of the Year - and it is only February. I am not over keen on the music of RVW but purchased this disc out of curiosity. It has some of the most beautiful English song I have ever heard on it. Quite simply at times it is ravishing and a joy to listen to. There are so many highlights on it it seems unfair to pick one out but I will - "O the sky shall be our roof" is a soaring duet of love. Why has so much of this music not been recorded before? Glyndebourne take note there are works here that need to be performed and I will be first in line for tickets to see these operas in performance. Thanks to the RVW society for putting this CD out. Don't hesitate, buy ... Read More:

A great price for a wide selection of British Classics. The pieces are performed and recorded well and make an enjoyable alternative to the more serious classical music that is normally on offer. However if you are looking for full emotional depth in your music then these pieces will seem a bit too light for you.
