Wedding/Love Songs CD.......2007-02-15

This is a fantastic CD with truly the "best" love songs. In addition, to songs about romantic love, there are songs appropriate for friendship and also songs about the love to/from God.

Great Music.......2006-10-04

I bought this CD when planning my wedding just to get ideas for wedding music. I still listen to this CD after my wedding, because it has such great Christian songs commonly used in weddings. I loved the music was all sung by it's original artist. It's a must have CD of Christian Wedding/Love songs.

Great Wedding Music!.......2005-10-17

I recently purchased this CD which I happen to find while browsing in Amazon.Com. After listening to sample clips, I was convinced that this compilation of various artists was the best choice of all the other wedding music CD's that I have viewed. This cd offers a variety of music styles from comtemporary artists. Very romantic, perfect for your wedding! I highly recommend this cd for those who are just can't find the right music to play at their wedding. I highly recommend it!

Great music to use at your wedding ceremony!.......2005-10-01

Some of these songs are good for playing at your wedding ceremony.

Cheesefest.......2005-09-25

If you want really corny, "top 40"ish music, this is fine. But if you want really good wedding music that doesn't make you feel like you're on WPLJ(top 40), then this is not it! Very cheesy - I'm not using a thing on it. Oh well.

Customer Reviews:

This CD is one of my all time favorites!.......2007-04-14

Honestly, I love this CD! Almost every song is really, really good! Only a handful are average and the rest are GREAT! I have had the CD for sometime now and it's about all I listen to in my vehicle. I love singing along with it and the music makes you feel good! As I have told my wife, I plan to buy several of these 'Top 25 Praise Songs' CDs and give them to friends and relatives as gifts. It is that good!

great songs, a little too slow.......2005-10-27

This CD has some of the greatest praise and worship songs ever, but they are all just a little on the slow side, and I find myself wishing they were just a step up on the tempo. Most of the songs are not in my key, and I can't really sing along with this one very well, maybe that's my singing voice, not the cd, but just the same, I prefer the "Songs for Worship" CD's instead.

This CD Will Lift You Up!.......2003-11-29

I bought this CD for my seven-year old's birthday. He has listened to secular rock with me for years, and I felt like we needed something else to listen to in the car, and I knew that both my kids liked praise songs from church. Wow! I also bought him a CD player at the same time, and I have been amazed how much he chooses to listen to these songs, over and over and over. We all sing to these songs, even my Pearl Jam-loving husband! I've never been one to listen to Christian rock, prefering either true gospel or secular rock. I love this music and the sound of my son singing to God. I may order another one just like it so that my twelve-year old will have his own.

Great songs -- wish they were longer............2001-08-07

All the songs are great, beautiful..... just wish they were longer in length. Seems they are all shortened versions. All the songs seem to be less than 2 minutes each.

For alone time with God.......2000-10-10

This CD provides me with the environment I often need to "settle" in and worship Jesus. The songs speak to me and let me know that Jesus is just a breath away. "Give Thanks" is definetely the best track on this CD. I feel so close to God during that time. It is not too intrusive into my bible study time with really distracting music.

A musical treasure-box.......2006-09-10

Both the music and this actual product are masterpieces. John Dowland's collected works here - covering 12 compact discs - exhibit the depth and power of this composer, a composer who many now regard as suffering from clinical depression. I doubt that the issue of the diagnosis of Dowland's depression can ever be settled, however, it is certainly obvious from his music, so completely on display here, that he was a man with very dark depths and corners in his mind. Dowland's various manifestations and "takes" on his own tune, "Flow my tears"/"Lachrimae" are here. This tune has haunted me ever since I first heard it when I was a child. It seems to sum up Dowland's feelings - at least Dowland seems to have thought so.

The First, Second, Third and Fourth Bookes of Songes, A Musicall Banquet, the keyboard transcriptions, all the lute music, consort music are here and virtually everything else written or supposedly written by John Dowland. Anthony Rooley and The Consort of Musicke perform this music with style and feeling throughout. This 12 CD set is something of a monument to the ensemble - I only wish they'd finished their collection of Monteverdi madrigals, which was equally good (La Venexiana are currently doing a magnificent job of recording all Monteverdi's books of madrigals for the GLOSSA label).

This is an expensive set, however, you will probably never need to buy another John Dowland CD again after buying and listening to this collection.

I bought this CD set on a mild Summer evening of 1998 and listened to it while sitting in my sun room - which a glorious orange sunset in progress, and a glass of wine. It brought back so many memories.

a beautiful journey into melancholy.......2001-06-15

I'm amazed at how many people tend to associate John Dowland's music with a tragic sense of drama. While no doubt this is art highly based on sadness, the "tragic" sense of it is more a legacy from the Romantic period. During the Renaissance, however, sadness was undestood as a very aesthetic way of approaching life. That is also the reason why Shakespeare's tragedies appear more sophisticated than his comedies.

Dowland, a contemporary of Shakespeare, discovered that meditating on a sad theme is, at the same time, a way of discovering a special beauty that we tend to avoid (maybe because of the "tragic" heritage of the Romantics). So, in the end, meditating on sadness is an uplifting experience! This box set is a journey into melancholy that includes songs, chamber music, pieces for lute, some rare sacred music and -as a highlight- Dowland's beautiful collection of seven pieces for viola which he called "Lachrimae" (Tears).

Great Choice for Children's Choirs!.......2006-01-21

I teach in the choir program at a Methodist church. I've used these songs with kids from 1st through 4th grade. They love two of the pop-rock style, more contemporary songs on the second disc - Let the Walls Fall Down, and I Walk by Faith (even though the intro to this one is kind of strange). We've also used the song Beloved for our children's church anthem. On the first disc, the arrangement of As the Deer is quite beautiful, and great training for young voices. This is a bargain at the price listed today as I'm writing - $7.

Destiny for all children.......2001-05-20

We should train/lead our children down the right paths in life. In doing so, I have found that praise songs can be a great asset! Praise songs help children with developing the right attitude to conquering any rotten moment. My 14 yr old says "helps to build confidence and its very peaceful" her comments on top 25 praise songs. My family has been listening to kids praise songs for over 15 years. I recommend this album for anyone's personal library, whether, you have children, grandchildren or neices/nephews.

Triumphant return of Flor's Mendelssohn.......2005-06-01

At last Claus Peter Flor's Mendelssohn symphonies, overtures and piano concertos (with Edelmann) have returned. On the basis of these recordings (all previously issued) Flor, who is probably in his early 50s now, is still one of the better Mendelssohn conductors out there.

In particular, his Symphonies Nos. 2 and 5 have been hailed by critics on this side of the Atlantic for their beauty, proportion and Mendelssohnian sensibility. His other symphonies are also good and his collected overtures have been revered on both sides of the Atlantic by critics from Gramophone (which gave the overtures a rosette) to American Record Guide (which continued to promote his works even after they were out of print).

Flor's regualr partner in these performances, the Bamberg Symphony Orchestra, is a European band of the second rank. While not being confused with the more well-known orchestras in Vienna, Berlin or London, they perform universally well in these CDs in recordings that sound better than ever.

This is a very good collection of Mendelssohn's symphonic music and piano concertos that will rank with the best recorded boxes including Abbado and Karajn. In musical terms is far exceeds the collections led by Masur, Ashkenazy and the newer Naxos cycle of mixed quality.

Collectors that have never heard Flor conduct (or have never heard of him) can rest assured that this is a worthy alternative collection in this music. If this grouping and this price are attractive, go for it.

Uneven quality but great value.......2007-04-30

Brilliant Classics has found a niche with their extremely low-price multi-disc collections of the work of a single composer or performer. The Bach, Mozart and Chopin Complete Editions are legitimately considered to be artistic and economical triumphs. But the Masterworks series are more uneven. Currently available from Amazon France at about a buck per CD, they're still a bargain for those interested in quickly building a music library. But it's worth keeping a few things in mind. Unlike the Bach and Mozart Editions, these are not always historically informed performances. In this Mendelssohn set, the Hanover Band puts in a cameo (in Calm Sea and Prosperous Voyage), but most of the ensembles use modern instruments, techniques and proportions. This doesn't always work out, as in the case of the ponderously heavy recordings of the String Symphonies by an apparently full complement of Gewandhausorchester Leipzig strings (Mendelssohn likely wrote these early works for a much smaller group). The caliber of the performances varies too, ranging from good to poor, and from marquis musicians such as Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau to a few Dutch who-dats. The chamber musicians generally acquit themselves well (though the Octet recording is marred by an engineering flaw in the last movement, distortion, at least on my copy). But the symphonies suffer from some substandard performances, such as the Italian Symphony's live recording with not only audience noise but also ensemble flaws such as a distracting clarinet squeak in the first movement's recapitulation. Another strike is the lack of program notes. Brilliant's Complete Editions provide a booklet or CD-ROM with program notes, but here you'll need to do your own research.

Despite these shortcomings, this set is still good value (at least at Amazon France's current price of 31 Euros). And it's a fine way to become acquainted with Mendelssohn's music.

A superb collection of Mendelssohn.......2007-03-24

Let me preface this by saying that most of these works were not new to me - I own many other Mendelssohn CDs and have enjoyed his compositions for some time now. Also, this set is available much cheaper elsewhere, particularly from European retailers.
The symphonies are well-performed. 'Reformation' is an inspired live recording. The 12 string symphonies, written in Mendelssohn's youth, are also included. The concertos are exceptional - the violin concerto is as good as you'll find anywhere. The oratorios Elijah and Paulus are included, as well as the complete chamber works and a diverse assortment of choral works. The last few discs include the Lied ohne worte, the epic organ sonatas, and excellent renditions of A Midsummer Night's Dream and Fingal's Cave. While there are a few sketchy performances in the choral and chamber works, the performances and recordings are generally very solid, and the body of work couldn't be better.

Compiled especially for use in the church, America's 25 Favorite Praise & Worship Choruses is a stellar volume in a series of Brentwood Music recordings for this purpose. Graceful and soothing or zippily rhythmic, these brief choruses make wonderful invocation, offertory, or postlude hymns, and will be enjoyed at home or in the car as well as at the sanctuary. Each piece features the rich unified sound of a large four-part choir, with clean production that amplifies well over any system. Don Marsh's choral harmony and orchestral arrangements include superb renditions of Rich Mullins's "Awesome God," the inspirational "He Is Exalted," and the mystically powerful "Seek Ye First." It is little wonder that these pleasing melodies are beloved standbys in congregations across the nation. --Joe Ben Amanda

Don Marsh: America's Best P&W Arranger/Conductor.......2005-10-01

I bought all 4 volumes in this series together as "America's 100 Favorite...." Don's gifted style results in moving P&W from Sunday to 24/7 in your car or portable CD player. I searched the web for all possible P&W CD's, and conclude his arrangements are a quantum level higher than most everyone else. Great news in 05 for his fans. [...] See my review on that web page; with more and more even greater and anointed P&W songs being published year by year, his 05 CD takes it on up to another level; the best is probably still yet to come from the song writers. Check out "Forever," "Now Is The Time To Worship," and "He Knows My Name," etc., and see for yourself.

Short but what do you expect from choruses? Great selections though and very uplifting!.......2005-08-10

I see some negative reviews for the 3rd and 4th volumes of this series but these are openly described as choruses and so they will naturally be short. However, as I only have this first volume, all I can say is that I'm very pleased with the track selections which are among my favorite worship songs.

The recording quality is also quite good and I find this cd to be very uplifting. The shortest track is 1 minute and 7 seconds long ("Awesome God")while the longest track is 3 minutes 34 seconds long ("Give Thanks"). Looking at the selections in the other volumes though, it appears to me that the best tracks are here.

A great compilation of my favorite choruses with reasonably good sound quality and so 5 stars!!!

America's 25 Favorite Praise & Worship Choruses.......2001-03-28

This is a really great C.D. Some that I have bought in the past have not been very good quality C.D.'s. I would recommend this to anyone who loves worship music.

this is such a good cd for all ages . I work with teens 7 and 8th graders. We have the cd but we don't have the words to put on the over head, can you help me to find them. We are trying to play the songs every week. thanks

My all-time favorite CD.......1999-08-11

This is the best music for drawing closer to God. I have shared it with so many of my friends and they always love it as much as my husband and I do. I keep having to get one of my friends a new tape because she keeps giving them away also. This CD has truly been a blessing to me and my husband. We also love being able to listen to just music or just vocals. I never get tired of listening to this CD over and over. I can't say that about many other ones.

Not THAT bad!!!.......2003-05-07

Yes, I'll admit... this isn't the BEST praise and worship collection I've heard. In their attempt to stylize some of the songs the songs lost their power. But, some of the arrangements are very good! All of the tracks are studio recordings. And although there are some (very few) tracks that have a modern rock/alt. flavor, there is absolutely no GRUNGE on the whole CD... hehe. Some highlights are "Let It Rise," a Stevie Wonder-esque version of a P&W classic. Has a great groove, we sing this arrangement in our church. "All Things Are Possible," "Come, Now Is The Time," "Open The Eyes of My Heart," and "In the Secret" are great recordings and do not stray far from how we have always heard them. Yes, there are some strange tracks, but I applaud Maranatha for trying to bring some new life to songs that have recorded by everyone! I'm giving this CD five stars, not because it is that good, but to counteract the unfair one star ratings. (I would rate it 3 otherwise).

For the Christian who loves grunge music.......2003-04-16

What a disappointment. And this from Maranatha! The song selections are the lure but after my purchase, I was so disappointed that the songs were recorded in the alternative music genre.

The recording artists sound awkward and I don't recommend using this for any type of worship atmosphere. It's very distracting.

Sorry but that's what I felt.

For alternative music lovers only.......2003-03-02

I hardly recognized some of the songs on this CD; lured by the great selection, I bought the split track version for group use at my bible study, but found many of the tracks quite unusable. I have heard, own, and love many updated/modern versions of worship songs -- for example, I love SonicFlood and the "Worship Together" collections -- but I found many of the arrangements on this album simply unattractive and distracting. Even if you like them, you may have trouble singing along, as the uncomfortable keys do not lend themselves well to participation...even the singers, many of which have a very distinctive grunge-band sound, are heard to strain painfully at times. A higher percentage of mainstream treatments, or at least a clearer indication of the nature of the album, would have been welcome.
