Hymns in the Anglican Tradition Beautifully Performed.......2007-01-24

This is one more example of hymns in the Anglican Tradition, sung by the always excellent choir of King's College, Cambridge. It is a splendid example of the sonorous sound of men and boys, accompanied by a classic English organ and, for the quieter hymns, the gentle sound of harp. All the familiar hymns and hymn tunes are here. You will not regret adding this CD to your collection.

Very inspiring music.......2005-07-06

I always enjoy listening to this Cd and particularly because of the orchestra and mellifluous choir. I especially enjoy: A Mighty Fortress, Come Down, O Love Divine, Praise to the Lord, the Almighty, and Thine Be The Glory. Some of the selections are soft such as "The Lord's My Shepherd" and "Drop, Drop, Slow Tears." Still, it is a fabulous selection and one of my favorites.

Great English Hymns.......2005-02-10

This was one of my Christmas gifts and I really looked forward to listening to it. I had just visited King's College, Cambridge back in August and really liked it--you should try to make it out there if possible.

Anyway, this CD was great to listen to. Some hymns are scored for orchestral accompaniment, choir and organ, while the majority of tracks are just for choir and organ.

Recorded in the King's College Chapel (the front cover has a great shot of the ceiling's trademark "fan" stone carving), the hymns are pure English sound--boys' treble voices along with men's changed voices singing with a pure, clean, straight tone. It's very sweet-sounding.

The hymns chosen are also great; "Be Thou My Vision," an Irish classic, appears along with "When I Survey the Wondrous Cross," "All People That on Earth Do Dwell," and "Morning Has Broken" (later recorded by Cat Stevens).

The singing isn't especially elaborate--they're just simple hymns. They're orchestrated very well, however, and they sound great.

Religious people may prefer these recordings more in general--these are Christian hymns after all--but I think it's a great recording and is worth listening too, especially if you enjoy that English sound!

Buy this CD!.......2004-09-20

Having heard Kings College Choir twice, in the flesh, at Kings, this CD is a wonderful example of what you might hear. If you can't make it to Cambridge, buy this CD. It contains many of the old favorites and also some hymns that are not found on other English hymn CD's.

English Choirs.......2002-12-18

Having visited many Cathedrals throughout the UK and listened to the enchanting voices of the boys choirs, I was disappointed with this particular rendering from Kings. Perhaps I am biased in that I enjoy the organ background or no background but the use of a full blown orchestra, in my opinion, tended to overwhelm and was totally unnecessary and somewhat grandoise choice on the part of Stephen Cleobury. Apart from that, much of the music was excellent. In comparison with other CD's from Kings, this was disappointing.

A new type of Celtic rock.......2004-05-30

This cd is a great collection of ecletic tracks from excellent artists with a variety of themes. All are done in rhythms that have at least your head bopping and foot tapping, and usually give you an incredible desire to stand up and dance.

What a find!.......2003-02-18

I have a huge CD collection and this is one of my favourites of all time. This is one of the best obscure CDs of all time. Every song is a masterpiece, often mixing contemporary styles with traditional Irish ones. You will be shaking your head as I do and saying "why are they people not famous!". Most of it has a soft-rock feel, but not in the pejorative sense. It was great to find 6 new artists that I'm now a fan of.

Well, it certainly is Celtic........2000-11-25

My friend let me borrow this album. He said he hated it. He wanted to know what I think. I played it, I don't think I heard one electric on there. I did hear an acoustic on every song though. I also heard an abundance of flutes and fiddles though. I don't recall hearing any rock on this album, maybe a lot of folk, but not rock. Even so, some of the songs are cool. I like "Bonnie Winds" by Bohinta. But, in my opinion, if you REALLY want to hear Celtic music, and you aren't used to folk, go get some Van Morrison, U2, or the Cranberries. Not worth your hard earned money, no matter how cheap it is.

2 stars, 1 for good acoustic guitar riffs.
1/2 for some pretty nifty lyrics.
1/2 for the use of instruments I don't hear too much of.

The different groups in this CD did and excelent job........1999-07-13

I thought that this was going to be just another boring CD, but when I got it home I was surprised to find that is was a mix of these different bands who all have very interesting styles. Once I had listened to all of the songs on there I wanted to get all of there ceperate CD's. Hey if anyone knows how I can get the different CD's from the groups on Celtic Invasion please write me.
