Corner of Eden

Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com
One of the early pioneers in the contemporary-Christian-music industry, Kathy Troccoli continues to please fans and critics alike with her passionate vocals and honest songwriting. Corner of Eden, the 1999 Dove Award winner for Inspirational Album of the Year, is yet more proof that Troccoli's music remains relevant. The opener, "A Different Road," displays her trademark powerhouse voice with a stirring orchestral and choral backing. "We Will Know Love" and "Fill Me Up" show a looser side of the artist with flute, mandolin, and acoustic guitars providing a bed of sound for her rich voice. But Corner of Eden's finest moment is "Psalm Twenty-Three"--a stirring, magnificent piece of work written by Troccoli after her mother's death. Kudos also to producer Nathan DiGesare for his arrangements here. -- Michael Lyttle

5 out of 5 stars Songs of Inspirarion and upliftment.......2002-09-14

This is a great album by a great songwriter and singer. Her rendition of the 23rd Psalm is amazing and the song "Goodbye for now" meant a tremendous amount to me because I recently lost my daughter who was only thirty years old and I know that 'I will see her face again' because she was a true child of God and trusted Jesus as her Saviour and Lord. The two opening songs on this album describe so aptly how we are quick to pursue our own dreams and forget to consult God in what we want to do... we run too fast and move too slow. The second song is so beautiful in it's humility as Kathy sings of how she has failed her Lord again and, yet, knows His mercy and forgiving grace.

5 out of 5 stars Summer Shines in Eden!.......2001-10-15

On this incredible compilation of voice, writing and heart, the anointing comes shining through. Bruce Sudano (Donna Summer's husband) wrote two of the songs found on this CD, "A Different Road" and "He Will Make a Way" - and that is reason my wife and I bought this CD. And while those two songs are quite evident of the faith, artistry and magic that Donna Summer and Bruce Sudano continue to produce, Kathy brought them life and made us sit and listen to the whole CD again and again. We highly recommend it!

5 out of 5 stars Most inspirational album ever!.......2000-03-09

I bought Corner of Eden over a year ago, but I had to come back to Amazon to review it because I feel so strongly that this is such a great album. I sing myself, and often find it hard to find music that is inspirational. Every song on the album fits the bill! I listen to it on a regular basis and it still has the power to bring me to tears.

You must buy this album!

5 out of 5 stars Beautifully Done.......1999-10-20

Truly the work of an artist. Kathy goes straight to the heart with He Will Make A Way. It has truly blessed me along with Twenty Third Psalm.

5 out of 5 stars Truly the Best Album by Kathy! A Must for Everyone!.......1999-10-07

This powerful album expands on the sounds of one of music's most gifted and unique voices. Kathy outdoes herself on this album with powerful songs, vocal expansion, and awesome lyrics! The album takes you on a journey unlike any other! This truly is the best album Kathy has ever released!

5 out of 5 stars one of the Glories of Fine Church Music .......2007-03-21

This collection of English Anthems is a real treasure for anyone who wants to here good Church Music in a glorious Setting. The two Anthems that would simply bring tears to your eyes and send shivers down your spine for me are the Edgar Bainton And I saw new Heaven and the Kenneth Leighton Let all the world with the final chords dying out on that sonorous Double 32 Trombone of the magnificent Harrison Organ.

5 out of 5 stars The perfect performance.......2007-03-06

This recording is remarkable in the consistency of its superb sound.
The anthems selected are all excellent - most are well known, but there are a few "hidden treasures". The choir's tone is beyond criticism, as is the organ.
The performance of Harris's "Faire is the Heaven" is spine-tingling.
I can think of few recordings more fitted to begin a collection of English choral music, and if you already have recordings of most anthems on this CD, these performances are heartily recommended to hear nonetheless.
I certainly consider this CD a wonderful purchase!

5 out of 5 stars Glorious!!.......2000-09-26

An earlier LP from King's in the 70's under the then Conductor Sir David Willcocks touched upon some of these choral'gems'. The present conductor Stephen Cleobury continues this tradition with some of the same and several 20th century anthems. Glorious singing of the highest standard!! The choir is in fine form here. Particular highlight's are 'Faire is the heaven' and 'And I saw a new heaven'. Recommended wholeheartedly!!

4 out of 5 stars A fascinating anthology.......1999-01-14

This album is well-appreciated in being a well-performed anthology of choral gems by English composers. Much of the fine music here is by composers whose names may not be as familiar as Britten, et al. What is revealed, however, is the mastery of those individuals, as well as their lack of deserved recognition.
