1.Walsingham Way: Hymns to the Virgin Mary by: Choir Of Saints Peter & Paul March 08, 2002

I found this CD to be a wonderful compilation of choral items and well-known hymns. What, for me, is particularly impressive in Mr Baldy's performances with the choir of Wantage Parish Church, is the way in which he really gets them to sing the words in the hymns properly. None of that breathing at the end of each line; instead, the choir uses real, sensitive phrasing, breathing only where appropriate and with a real sense of the meaning of the words. Marvellous.

It has to be said that there is little more versatile as the human voice as an instrument. This proves the point beyond measure. Clarity, emotion and total respect for the piece are in abundance throughout the album. Wonderful.

5.Cathedral Voices by: Cynthia Millar September 11, 2000
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: £6.99
This 2 CD set of Choral works is very broad ranging, and would suit a concert-goer's taste well. It is as good as actually being there! The scope of work performed is from early Baroque to modern [ Benjamin Britain], and with some works accompanied by Organ, chamber and orchestral backing, as was intended. No disappointment, here-just a perfect evening's entertainment in the full sense. Performed to the highest perfection. Highly recommended both with regard to the performers, and the quality of the recording. [It rather reminds me of New College, Oxford, where I used to attend the Autumn Term 'Choral Season']. The recording times are CD1-75.03mins. and CD2-77.04 respectively, very good value indeed- for perfection!

Make sure you listen before you buy, and be sure these are the kind of performances you want. Because although other reviews rave about this, I remain unconvinced. Mind you, these comments only apply to the first of the two CDs. I haven't heard the second and can't comment. But I was taken aback by the interpretations on CD1, some of which sound positively Victorian - slushy, wobbly and tonally wooden. And there are some vocal infelicities that simply should not have got past the editing process. Take the Mozart: even in the first two bars - just the instrumental intro - there's a slushy rit (the first of many!), a sudden accelerando and another rit just before the choral entry. Where does Mozart ask for ... Read More:

For a relaxing couple of hours just to yourself, plug in the headphones and sit back and enjoy. The music flows pleasantly from soft and light to that more uplifting fibrancy that pulls you and your heart and mind to an edge of pleasure but without going overboard into the more emotional and vibrant pieces. For myself i have preferred using a travel mask to totally remove myself from the house around me! Really relaxing!
