5 out of 5 stars Great CD.......2007-03-09

Wish I could have been at this concert live! Very good contep. Christian Music!Hope to hear more music like this.

5 out of 5 stars Singable? Worship+Able.......2006-06-18

This is a good CD and I've often seen people comment on how "canned" and "unsingable" a a CD set might be but it shouldn't apply to this great compilation.

This is a very good CD with excellent worship songs. They can be sung and enjoyed alone in the car or in the corporate worship setting. Many of them are in use in churches around the country for times of corporate worship.

There isn't a bad song on this CD and I love the few that I find like that. Usually you buy a CD for one or two songs and ignore the others. Not so with how great is our god. Enjoy every song and sing away!

4 out of 5 stars Conference Memories.......2006-06-10

I think what many people do not understand about this CD, as well as Sacred Revolution, is that they are live recordings from conferences such as OneDay and Passion. The songs on these CDs are mere snippets from the over-all experience of each conference. To me, they serve as reminders of the conferences & bring back memories of what I learned & experienced there (which, at a Passion conference is always profound & challenging). Unlike at a concert, where the focus is on the music & audience enjoyment, the songs at a Passion conference specifically coincide with what is happening, either the message that was just given, or perhaps the focus of the moment (missions, prayer, adoration, a specific verse etc). The CDs contain the "most memorable" songs & moments for those who participated, which probably doesn't necessarily resonate with those who weren't there. The artists on the CD all have their own albums, which are probably more representative of their musical abilities & are produced for a wider audience. If you haven't attended a Passion conference, you may not "get" this CD. So instead of complaining about this album, I'd recommend all the artists' individual projects: David Crowder Band, Chris Tomlin, Charlie Hall, Shane & Shane, Christy Nockels.

1 out of 5 stars poor excuse for worship music.......2006-05-03

This is a pep rally on CD; an unsingable, emotionally charged pep rally. It really upsets me that this is the face of today's Christian music. The melodies are not easily singable at all, and the songs use all the same musical cliches. This is worship manipulation at it's best. If you read the words to learn something concrete about God, you will find nothing of substance. They talk about actions to give God and our response to God, but no meat-and-potatoes of WHY we should be doing this. God IS great, but WHY? This is VERY disturbing, and completely unacceptable for congregational worship.

5 out of 5 stars Anointed music!.......2006-02-25

The one song that I love is "How Great Is Our God" and this group does it wonderfully. Very anointed!

    4 out of 5 stars Enjoyment of old Russian liturgical nusic.......2007-01-09

    The Basso Profundo recording reminds one of the recordings of Tibetan Monks in chant and is very stirring.

    4 out of 5 stars Finally, a recording I can sing along with!.......2006-11-04

    As a low bass and wannabe octavist, I really enjoy singing along with this recording. Luckily, I have performed the Rachmaninov "All Night Vigil", Tchaikovshy "Liturgy of St. John Chrysostom", and other works in Old Church Slavonic, so the words are mostly familiar.

    I still find it amazing that these singers can make notes in the midrange still sound low! Enjoy!

    5 out of 5 stars Good Music from Russia.......2005-07-21

    This CD is very good for those who like orthodox music. Buy it!

    5 out of 5 stars Great CD.......2003-03-02

    I have done a good bit of research on basso profundo's, contrabasses, etc and these guys seem to be lower than any I've heard. The soloist on "Do Not Reject Me In My Old Age" has a full voiced G1, below low bass C which he hits a number of times on the CD. Very amazing recording... good musically, not the VERY best choir I've ever heard or anything, but definetly good. Russian music is great, many of the tracks are very dark musically, but there are some more majestic tracks, and a few tracks that sound kinda militaristic.

    5 out of 5 stars Well Below the Bass Range.......2002-01-15

    The music on this CD won't be to everyone's liking, but the unique sound of the voice of a "basso profundo" or "octavist"
    is a musical rarity that shouldn't be missed. These basses have a gripping effect, with a timbre resembling that of an organ's pedal tones. These basses can sing the low A below the bass range. They are, simply, extraordinarily powerful voices. Savor the unearthly sound of them. Who knows - you might just get to like Russian polyphonic liturgical chant, as well.

    5 out of 5 stars The picture.......2006-12-11

    I haven't purchased the CD but the picture of the inside of a church on the cover is not of a British church, like one would assume since it says its a recording of British choirs. This picture is of Notre Dame Basilica in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. Just thought i'd let you know. I'll be honest; I'm one to judge things by it's cover and if the company took such care to choose a 'British' church for their British choir CD, I'm willing to bet the music is equally well selected... I'm being sarcastic. But I gave the product 5 stars because I didn't want to hurt its ratings just because i'm cynical. But check out the church if you're ever in Montreal, it's truly beautiful... here I'm not being sarcastic.

    5 out of 5 stars "Lord, How Come Me Here".......2007-06-18

    I must add, to the praises above, that Kathleen Battle's "Lord, How Come Me Here" is the best "quick" explanation of the long-lasting effects of slavery that I can think of. The line, "They sold my children away," says it all.

    And the VERY funny "Scandelize My Name" is also worth the price of the total album!

    5 out of 5 stars WOW!.......2007-03-22

    You know, after owning both the CD and VHS of this performance, and having been coached by Sylvia Olden Lee herself, it is no wonder why spiritual mean so much to me. And these two ladies bare their souls and bring these masterpieces to life! WOW!!!

    5 out of 5 stars uhm......yeah right!!.......2006-06-21

    Clearly you are mistaken. I don't know who that guy is-the person below recommended-but there is NO COMPARISON to JESSYE NORMAN AND KATHLEEN BATTLE!!!! Jessye Norman herself has *30* HONARY DOCTRATES from places like Harvard, Juliard, Yale, Cambridge....I mean HELLO!!!! That guy had no where near the ease, the musicality or even the breath support as these two veterans show!! It is a beautiful CD though it came out in 1991 and I HIGHLY recommend it.

    2 out of 5 stars Broadway takes on the spiritual ..........2004-01-29

    ... takes it on and puts it on the canvas by the end of the first round.

    I'm going to be the dissenting voice here: thank goodness I signed this disk out of the public library 'cause I'm sure not going to listen to it twice.

    There is nothing wrong with the performances. Jessye Norman and Kathleen Battle sing beautifully, and there's no problem with the pick-up orchestra under James Levine.

    The problem, and it's huge, is the conception of the show and the musical arrangements. To make the video marketable, I suppose, the producers decided that the concert had to be big: big names, big arrangements, big effects. So we have eighteen spirituals given the musical theatre treatment, with a philharmonic chorus providing chain-gang sound effects, big brass, and big percussion -- including a chinese gong. A chinese gong in a spiritual??? Spare me! Almost every track turns out sounding like either a curtain-raiser or a big, end-of-act production number with cute and predictable modulations between some of the stanzas and the sort of curly-cue orchestral ornamentation typical of Broadway shows.

    And you know what? It all kills the spirituals stone dead. The spiritual is one of those musical forms where less is more and very little is best of all. That's how they started, after all. That's how and why they worked for their original audiences, and that's why they were powerful enough to make the transition from folk song to art song. If you want to hear Battle sing spirituals that are irresistible, listen to the set on her Salzburg recital CD, also with Levine (ASIN B00000E31B). There, the music speaks for itself and speaks with a strength and a beauty that the tracks on this disk never approach.

    5 out of 5 stars Glorious.......2006-07-31

    I have listened to a great deal of Orthodox music and I think this is by far one of the most beautiful collections I have ever heard. Actually, it is one of the most georgeous pieces of music of any kind I have heard.

    5 out of 5 stars Awesome... heavenly... ethereal Russian Choral Music.......2006-05-21

    This Awesome, ethereal, heavenly ANCIENT ECHOES was a gift of my friend, Dick Talley last year. Seldom does my early awakening miss listening to these choral chants of the Orthodox Monastery!

    If I could choose the more interesting, comforting, fasinating polyphonic chants, they would be No.3 "The Only Begotten Son" of Golovanov, No.5 "The Lord Speaketh" and No.6 "Glory be to God in the highest" both by Bortnyansky!

    Only Russian Choral Treasures are equally awesome, spiritually refreshing. When I awaken every morning around 4:00, I began listening to both these recordings, before reading or praying for friends, such as, Dick and Anita Talley.

    Upon becoming 75 years of age, I tend to simplify my habit of listening to Choral Music. Most fondly reviewed by Retired Chaplain Fred W Hood, "Barbara377" (Fayetteville, GA USA)

    5 out of 5 stars The Might of the Russian Male Choral Sound.......2005-10-03

    The Russian liturgical music, especially that for the high holy days of Christmas and Easter, owns a mystery all its own. This splendid recording by the Chorovaya Akademia conducted by Alexander Sedov is a fine a sound as any produced on recording. Though few of the composers (with the exception of Tchaikovsky and Grechaninov) are well known outside Russia, the works are all beautifully composed and hauntingly performed. There is somewhat of a sameness to these religious works (little variation in tempi, expressive range, dynamics) but the overall effect is one of humble spirituality.

    This is a fine example of the Russian choral music that is growing in popularity one the recorded repertoire and it is for this listener one of the best. Grady Harp, October 05

    4 out of 5 stars Compare These 3.......2004-04-19

    There are 3 different CD's about Russian Choir "A Cappella" music which can be discussed & reveal a certain enjoyment to different people with different needs or means:

    "Ikon" sung by the Holst Singers on Hyperion is the middle ground that gives a well balance & beautiful music from an English choir group. If you did not know they were English, you would think of them as Russian. Most songs are Russian classics from Sviridov, Gretchaninov, Kalinnikov, & Tchaikovsky with modern versions from Part, Gorecki, & Nystedt. The highlight is from the female sopranos which give an angelic & awl inspiring spiritual uplift that must not be missed.

    "Sacred Treasures" sung by several groups including The Russian State Symphony Cappelle, The Leningrad State Academic Choir, The Bulgarian National Choir, & a few other groups on Hearts of Space give the most authentic Russian that to English ears may sound slow & uneventful. Yet to a person that knows Russian, this CD will cause the most goose bumps due to its rightful intensity with music from Rachmaninov, Bortniansky, Kedrov, Gertchaninov, Tchaikovsky, Christov, Turchaninov, & Lvovski.

    "Ancient Echoes" sung by the Chorovaya Akademia on RCA Victor may give the best first impression due to its well made production that will give a serious work out to any professional stereo system, yet with further study will reveal an over dramatized style that may get in the way. Songs from the composers Sheretiev, Nikolsky, Golovanov, Strokin, Bortnyansky, Grechaninov, Riutol, Tchaikovsky, & Chesnokov.

    If your into Russian "A Cappella" music, give these 3 CD's a try & decided for yourself.

    3 out of 5 stars Quite genuine but lacking in contemplative mellowness.......2004-01-05

    The fantastic cover of this cd notwithstanding (the monk in red habit is a Catholic monk, probably a Carthusian, Orthodox monks wear a different habit), this is a cd of authentic Russian religious music for Christmas and Easter composed in the last 200 years and sung by an all-male choir: the Choravaya Akademia under the direction of Alexander Sedov.

    The total length of this recording is 63:25 minutes.

    Compared with other such cds available on Amazon.com like Sacred Treasures I and II, Ancient Echoes has a more vigorous and folk-song style. I do not want to sound sacrilegious or cynical in the least but many of the chants sound like Red Army songs.

    So if you are looking for something virile and robust, something to bolster your resolution for moral rearmament, this is the kind of music that will delight you. If on the other hand you are looking for something tenderly contemplative, buy Sacred Treasures I or II or Rachmaninoff's Vespers by the Robert Shaw Festival Singers.

      I have both disc in the series. I liked the music on this disc much more than the first. The selections seem more focused and the sounds are much clearer. Also, the particular pieces fit better together. I love the sound of this group and hope they make more in the future.

      3 out of 5 stars Not as good as version 1 in this series.......2004-09-03

      This is by the same group who did the wonderful & engaging Early American Choral Music 1. Somehow this CD did not live up to its predecessor in some ways. The performance is still top notch, but somehow the CD as a whole isn't quite as engaging to listen to as the first. Perhaps version 2's strength is also its weakness. Its diversity of composers allows you to pear past the shadow of William Billings and sample other notable early American hymn writers. That exposure is valuable & appreciated. I just couldn't get into it as much.

      A final note: many of the texts are beautiful (and available from the publisher's web site). However, I would criticize "Who is this that cometh from Edom?" as dwelling just a bit too much on the Jews' rejection of Jesus. Among other reasons & issues, Christianity says that we are all sinners & there is no cause to single a particular group out negatively.

      4 out of 5 stars Same as 'Goostly Psalmes: Anglo-American Psalmody 1550-1800'.......2004-02-21

      Please note this CD is a duplicate of His Majestie's Clerkes's "Goostly Psalmes: Anglo-American Psalmody 1550-1800" -- identical contents but a different name and cover. I ordered both and was irritated to discover this. This CD is cheaper, so I recommend this one. It is a lovely choral work from a little-known period of sacred music.

        Customer Reviews:

        5 out of 5 stars Almost Perfect!.......2007-03-06

        I find this CD so frustrating! The Lord's Prayer was the first LP I ever purchased, and it's impact and beauty have never left me. I had all but given-up every seeing it on CD until this reissue came along. Both LPs on one CD, how can you go wrong? You can't actually UNLESS you want the complete first LP. They left out ONE SELECTION ("O, My Father") - probaby a time consideration. In any event, two great LPs, the remastering isn't much. It pales against the original LPs, but its great to have most of the albums.

        5 out of 5 stars Re-released at Last!!!.......1999-02-01

        I have been waiting to find this on CD for years, and am so happy to have found it. One of the best albums of religious music ever. The interpretations are simple and exquisite, the phrasing clear, and each choice harmonious and moving.

        Now if you'd just offer the sequel, "The Lord's Prayer II"...

        5 out of 5 stars probably the best of the MTC recordings - A REAL CLASSIC.......1999-01-16

        I have been listening to this recording in both its vinal and cd form since about 1966. I think it is the best of the MTC recordings of religious music with a good cross section of both Mormon and Mainline music.
