This series of 11 church anthems is a sterling example of doing more with less. Though their format is multiple movements for soloists, chorus, and orchestra, inviting grand treatment, Handel had available only a couple of oboes and a small string band and choir (with no violas or altos for numbers 1 to 6). Yet each one of these anthems is a gem. Handel's music captures well the changing moods of the Psalm texts--from somber penitence to serene bliss to infectious joy to the raging of storms and seas. Though James Bowman's arias lie uncomfortably low for him, he and Michael George do fine work; Lynne Dawson, Patrizia Kwella, and Ian Partridge are delightful. Harry Christophers leads his choir and orchestra in subtly inflected and beautifully paced performances. --Matthew Westphal

Divine!.......2007-06-17

These psalms set to music, for use in church services, are divine! Handel never fails to please and the recording is top notch.
Now that you've heard Handel's versions, be sure to check out what Henry Purcell did a generation earlier with the same material.

Oh, I love Handel!!.......2007-04-18

Why haven't I heard of this music before? I have long loved the Messiah, in fact, I have about 15 different CD versions of it! Now I can listen to Handel all year long, and for me this is all new music! If you love Handel's Messiah, you will love this collection! I just started listening to it on my drive to and from work, and I was transported! I enjoy the solos, the duets, and then the whole ensemble singing gloriously together. I am very happy I purchased the entire set!

Why aren't these better known?.......2006-04-14

It boggles my mind that this seems still to be the only complete set of the Anthems available on CD. The first of the discs came out in 1989 or so and volumes 1 and 2 were among the first CDs I ever bought (late adopter, I admit); I eagerly awaited and bought the others as they came out. Not that there's much to criticize about these performances. Oh, you may not like the tenor's very heavy dependence on mixed voice to hit high notes -- I don't mind it and for all I know it's faithful to the style of Handel's day -- or like the sound of the countertenor soloists or even the particular vocal qualities of one or the other of the sopranos (I find nothing wrong with any of them), but the chorus and instrumentalists sing and play crisply and very well. These Anthems were written to be lively and entertaining as well as full of honest devotion. Handel's grasp of English was still shaky at the time, and the choice of metrical versions of the Psalms for many of the texts is, well, questionable. More that one phrase will raise a smile: "That God is great we often have/ By glad experience found/ And seen how he with wond'rous pow'r/ Above all other gods is crown'd" is a prime example -- but listen to the bass (under-used by Handel in these Anthems, sadly: perhaps he lacked a reliable one at the time) sing Handel's setting, which reminds me of a beautiful, affectionate puppy of a large breed: slightly ridiculous, a bit bumbling, but attractive and strong and lovable. Or the chorus about "snares, fire, and brimstone" pouring in a "dreadful mixture" on the wicked: clearly the choristers are having great fun, just as I would, given the chance to sing this absurd version of the Psalmist's words. Buy this set, get your local choral society to sing one or more of these Anthems (I got to sing #11 once), spread the word.

Excellent - one of the best Handel CD's availible........2001-11-29

This baroque era "Praise Music" is light years beyond the vacuous pablum that passes for praise music in churches today. I have had these four CD's for almost a decade (previous release) and they are still among my favorites. Almost all the songs (all the spoken music that is - a few songs are instrumental preludes) are Bible scripture verses set to music - similar to what Handel did in the Messiah. The musical quality of the CD is excellent. You would never guess that only 16 people are doing the choral parts. If you only have 10 CD sets of traditional Christian music this CD set should be one of them.

Rediscovered, the Chandos anthems deserve your ears!.......1998-10-27

Handel's Chandos anthems are apparently being rediscovered, as the release of several new recordings bears witness. This set is surely the best available, and is certainly the only complete collection. Especially beautiful are the duets ("O Worship the Lord in the Beauty of Holiness" and "Wash Me Th'roughly") and the tenor's recitatives. Performance is brisk and tight, though never rushed. Those who favor Simon Preston's even snappier style may prefer his rendition of Anthem 10 (now distributed with his very fine, and affordable, "Israel in Egypt"), but overall no one can be disappointed with this collection of too-rarely heard works.

Customer Reviews:

simply brilliant.......2005-09-02

i first heard this album back in the eighties. a friend of mine dubbed me a copy on cassette and i listened to it like crazy. of course, the days of cassette are long gone, and i stopped listening to my copy, but i never forgot about it. for whatever reason, i never replaced it on cd either; that is until now. honestly, for the past, what--15 years or so--since i was listening to that cassette in my car, songs from this album would randomly pop in my head. it is wonderfully catchy, mystifyingly moving, and just brilliant. after listening you may wonder if there could have been a belle and sebastian without felt. just can't say enough. and it is true that felt is the kind of band wherein you either love them or hate them--but then all the best things seem to be that way, aren't they?

Can't stop listening.......2000-09-14

I am writing this review to warn as many innocent people as I can: Felt IS ADDICTIVE! Seriously. I imagine that either you will not find this music interesting in the least, or you will become obsessed as I have. Since I got this release I have been unable to keep from listening to it for more than 3 days. I find it especially enjoyable while in the shower. Try it out and let me know what YOU think. Oh yeah, this record has a great cover! The bar code placement is a little different than other releases. The thumbnail image doesn't do the color justice. Pantone 5285 (my guess).

Good, sometime great music.......2000-06-27

This album combines two records, Strange Idol Pattern from 1984, and Ignite the Seven Cannons from 1985. This music follows close on the heels of Felt's first and best work: The Splendour of Fear.

Overall, the 1984 record (Strange Idol) works better than the 1985 record (where they replaced their original bass player M. Lloyd with keyboardist M. Duffy). As a single CD, the music and sequencing of the tracks don't make much sense (not surprising since the two records were just put one after the other, in reverse chronological order with the 1985 record first).

Felt's music here is similar to the Speldour of Fear: lyrics that don't make much sense, vocals that are usually buried in the mix, and very strong sometime beautiful guitar work by Maurice Deebank. Some standout tracks are: Sempiternal Darkness, Spanish House, The Day the Rain Came Down, and Elegance of an Only Dream.

Sadly, they also have some rather poor tracks like: Whirlpool Vision of Shame, Caspian See (their spelling, not mine), and Black Ship in the Harbor.

Bottom line: enjoyable wierd music with some wonderful moments, worth more than one listen.

Beautiful Pop Grandeur.......2000-03-15

This is simply one of the best pop albums ever. The melodies are beautiful, the minimalist counterpoint phenomenally deft. "Primitive Painters" is a long-lost classic....how this song avoided the mainstream is beyond me. "The Day the Rain Came Down" is a pop gem, and the instrumental "Serpent Shade" is hauntingly beautiful. If you're a fan of Belle & Sebastian, The Smiths, and other such bands, the shimmering beauty of Felt is something you'll definitely want to check out. It's addictive!

Worth the listen and the purchase.......2000-02-16

If you only buy this CD for track #14, Primitive Painters, it is worth the cost. I give the overall album 3 stars, but this song 5+. I hadn't heard this song for 13 years, but after dreaming about this song recently, (yes, this song has been eternally etched in my brain!), I had to hear it again, and again and again... Felt reminds me of Chameleons UK. A lot. Very intricate and intense instrumentals...the sound really takes you back to an era of British pop and quality talent. Enjoy.

This is NOT the soundtrack of the TV series 'Victory At Sea'. Instead it has a medley of some of the tunes from that series, plus other patriotic and marching music. Althought the performances are OK, this is not what I was looking for. What in the world is the Warsaw Concerto doing in this collection...

You can actually feel the ships roll on the high seas.......1999-09-06

I can remember my folks (air force lt. col. & army nurse) playing this as I was growing up, and I can't recall any other album or recording of any other music that puts me there, in the pacific, on the high seas, rolling with the waves and seeing the big guns fired, the way this album does. As long as I live, this will remind me of the BIG ONE, and also of my mom & dad. There are such glorious movements that can and will move one to tears if they have any recollection of the war at all. A must for any collection.

Two different but great albums.......2004-08-26

I must disagree with some of the other reviews. While Cannons in the Rain -- like any JS album -- showcases amazing songwriting, the production is a tad too slick. It's still a must-have for anyone interested in the greatest living songwriter this country has. Wingless Angels, on the other hand, is not simply the most underrated album ever released by John Stewart; it may be the most underrated album ever released by anyone. "Survivors" is a celebration of, and for, Americans who understand that patriotism doesn't require blinders. "Josie" is an unforgettable portrait of a stock character of American folklore, the hooker with a heart of gold. "Let the Big Horse Run" will bring back memories for anyone old enough to remember seeing Secretariat complete the Triple Crown at Bellmont. Like Cannons in the Rain, every song on Wingless Angels is a winner. The diference is that the arrangements serve the material better.

The American Classic Story Teller.......2004-05-02

...John Stewart is one of the very few artists whose music and lyrics give creedence to the American Folk Music. Traditional folk music has always been dominated by the European Culture but here is America's Giant. America's story teller in song and music. In this collection, John addresses Political, Sports and life events at their best. Here in "Armstong" and "Let the big horse run" John captuers two very different moments in time and story. Depicting each correctly to the walking persons on the streets of America the impact of these moment. I've followed this gentleman and his career since his early days as the 4th member of the Kingston Trio replacing Dave Guard. "Survivors" correctly identifies the emotion that swept America during the "Watergate" hearings. In the Materpiece "Some kind of Love" John captures not just the words alone but also that very unique feelings that Love has presented us all at different times in our lives.

Cannons in the Rain and a Cow Mooing Would Still get 5 Stars.......2003-03-08

Cannons in the Rain is a marvel. Every song is a classic, IMHO. John Stewart and Fred Carter made an unbeatable team. They should have started a supergroup. (BTW, where would Paul Simon be without Fred Carter?!) I think Wingless Angels is John's weakest effort. Kind of lazy and hazy and overproduced, like the weather outside the LA studio it was made in. Unfortunately for John's career it came at a time of high hopes and momentum, and (momentarily) killed them. The only good thing about Wingless Angels is that John wrote The Runner and The Last Hurrah, two phenomenal heart-crushing songs (on Fire in the Wind), as a result of the negative fallout.

Mixed Feelings.......2002-07-10

"Cannons In The Rain" is one of John Stewart's early albums and I feel that it is still one of his best.

If possible I would rate "Cannons In The Rain" at six stars.

This CD has just about everything that is good about John Stewart.

I feel that his voice is at its' best and the songs are earthy with a nice balance of insight and cynicism.

I got hooked on "Anna On A Memory" the first time I heard it and I still play it again and again and again.

I guess there must be some stray dog in me.

"Wingless Angel" is a different matter, it is good but seems to be incomplete.

I never have been able to really get "into" this CD for some reason.

To sum it up, I frequently play "Cannons In The Rain" and rarely
listen to "Wingless Angel".

If these CDs were separate I would rate "Wingless Angel" at three stars.

half n half.......2001-11-13

This is my 26th JS album/cd. Cannons tunes way better than Wingless--probably why they were combined. Wingless is JS's weakest effort, mainly wind, eagles, rain, trains--put one in, pull one out.

Brilliant.......2004-12-09

'Make The Face' was the soundtrack to my summer, brilliantly funky , dirty, and fabulous. Loved it. Was drawn in by single release 'I like it when ya', but as far as I'm concerned, there's not a weak track on here. Especially like '23:59:59' in mellower moments...

Bears no comparison to Prince, if you're wondering. These guys are far superior, IMHO...

rubbish...........2004-11-22

this is an appalling squawky third rate Prince rip off - no wonder it bombed in the UK. horrible stuff to be avoided at all costs.

Love these guys.......2004-11-15

This is the Loose Cannons debut album and it's HOT & yet achingly cool. They are top funksters , dirty disco barons who are currently making clubland grind to their heavy beats on the dance floor.
The infamous London DJing duo Kaiser Saucy and Lord Fader invite us into their debauched world called Cannonia, in which each song is populated with snatches of conversation, phone chats, kids, laughter and quotes, like there's a party of people huddled round your ears.
This album fell off the planet before it had a chance to be properly heard cos of the usual probs with big labels not being able to handle anything but inane boy bands. And this is a grown-up band. And it's got mixes from hip-hop legends The Jungle Brothers, DJ/producer Mark Ronson and Moto Blanco, Make The Face is an album to get excited about. It's dance, funk, it's psychedelic, it's urban. And all this behind dirty grinding bass lines allied with punchy drum machine beats.
Each time I listen to it I 'get' something more.
Superbly evocative lyrics , thick fat bass.sexy sexy sleaze. I love ''Got it All (wrong)'. and 'Out 4 the Nite' is me to a T.
To me.......the whole album is soooooooo right.

Music to be remembered and replayed.......2006-06-21

First heard John Stewart in the 70s. "Cannons in the Rain" is my all-time favorite. Bought it first as an album, then a cassette and now a CD. How's that for standing the test of time! Thirty plus years and I'm still listening to it. When I want to drift back to a memorable time and place, I let John Stewart's songs take me there.

A Classic.......2001-12-25

Cannons in the Rain is pure John Stewart.

This is one of his early albums recorded after his time with The Kingston Trio and I feel that this is a definitive John Stewart classic.

"Anna on a Memory" is almost without equal as a example of the man and his experiences.

You listen to this music and you get the feeling that this is a man who has done a lot of living. Not only has he done a lot of living but he has translated life into music that is earthy and straight forward.

This is not what you would call "commercial music". This is music is more of the reflective thinking type of music that Stewart does so very well.

This CD was first recorded as a album in the late sixties and time has not taken anything away from it.

Let the Big Horse Run.......2001-11-13

"Wingless Angels" sometimes gets less-than-stellar reviews (Stewart himself points out that it is not his best), sub-par engineering most often cited as the culprit. Owing to ears not as discerning, for my money it is as good as anything he's done (except maybe "California Bloodlines"). It has a great amount of diversity in its offering with "Let the Big Horse Run" being a rouser that's well worth the price all by itself. "Cannons in the Rain" makes a nice match as there is some fine music played by some very good musicians.

John Stewart - An artistýs artist.......2000-03-28

John Stewart is an artist's artist. His work is recognized by tunesmiths such as Rosanne Cash and Nanci Griffith, but he has never broken into the mainstream of popular music. The subjects addressed in Cannons In The Rain (1973) and Wingless Angels (1974) are as scarce in popular music today as they were in the early 1970's. Patriotism and love of country are the themes of `Armstrong/Spirit' and `Survivors.' The women in John's songs are always viewed with gentleness and reverence (Anna On A Memory, All Time Women, Josie). These aren't ladies that you'd see shopping at the MegaMall with cellphones in their hands and an SUV parked outside. John's romantic interests are from small dusty towns far off the interstate.

Cannons In The Rain was recorded in Nashville and has an overall country luster. The original pressing of Wingless Angels was marred by substandard production. The CD version shows a marked improvement, but is still flawed. Perhaps John Stewart's world is too idealistic for mass acceptance, but that's OK by me. When I want realism, I'll turn on the 10 o'clock news. Don't miss John Stewart's enticing lyrics and admirable musicianship.

these songs are about us!.......1999-08-14

while no songs on this cd are classics(except"SURVIVORS")if you were to turn off the t.v.,throw away the newspaper,and turn on the stereo AND LISTEN,you will hear songs that tell about you and what you have gone through,what you went through growing up,what you like to remember as well as what you would like to forget.these songs will make you "feel"

sit back,listen,and go home again.and mr.kane,there is nothing uncomfortable about patriotism. enjoy, js99@gateway.net
