Beyond this recording's new age packaging and title is a splendid sampling of some of the world's finest choral music, sung by one of the world's outstanding choirs. This "anthology of sacred choral music" spans 400 years and includes such masterpieces as Allegri's Miserere, Bach's "Jesu, joy of man's desiring," and Barber's exquisite Agnus Dei, which is the composer's choral setting of his famous Adagio for Strings. Along the way we also hear Mozart's sublime "Ave verum corpus," Elgar's "Lux aeterna," and the Kyrie from Palestrina's Missa Papae Marcelli. There has been a choir at England's New College, Oxford, since the year 1379, and this impressive line of experience shows in the intelligent, unfaltering, and finely polished performances by today's ensemble of 16 boys and 12 adults. --David Vernier

You'll love this music. This is music for all moments of your life

5 out of 5 stars Wow!.......2006-07-08

I'm a long-time listener of all things rock-'n-roll, from Classic rock, to Alternative, and even a little Metal. I first heard this CD while having dinner at a friends house a long time ago, and I loved it. I've always been enchanted with choir music, so I bought this CD. Well, after years of listening to it to help me to unwind in the evening, I somehow misplaced it. So I came to Amazon to order both I and II. Of the two CD's, the first one is still the best, and it still helps me to relax after a long day. The choir show tremendous range in their singing, the assorted instruments are well-played, and I can almost imagine myself sitting in a centuries-old cathedral, enjoying the music and how it rings throughout the cathedral.

Buy it. You won't be disappointed.

5 out of 5 stars Profound sublimity.......2006-02-27

This album offers music that is profoundly moving and sumbline. It takes the listener onto an inner journal of extraordinary emotional depths and heights

5 out of 5 stars Beautiful music.......2006-01-18

The first song I've heard on this CD is "Miserere Mei..." and I loved it the first minute. I've heard it from a friend who likes classical, and I would've never bought this on my own.

All other versions of these songs I've heard since don't compare to the versions on this CD. Maybe because it was my first listen, maybe they're just good.

Album Description

Libera is the extraordinary vocal group made up of no less than 24 boys aged 7-16 who meet for several hours every week at a church in South London to rehearse and perform. Visions, amply demonstrates their musical prowess; with shimmering, mystical chords and exquisite harmonies, Libera prove they really are unique. Of the13 tracks on the album, some will sound familiar such as 'Locus Iste', which is based on Johann Pachelbel's (1653-1706) famous piece, 'Canon', a piece of baroque music that has been interpreted by many over the years, even finding its way into modern pop music. There's an entirely original arrangement of 'Ave Maria' and an uplifting version of the traditional hymn, 'Abide With Me' (words: Henry Lyte, 1847. Music: William Monk, 1861). The remaining tracks are entirely original with titles like 'New Day', 'Sing Forever' and 'Something Sings'. Several new soloists are featured: Michael Horncastle, Connor O'Connell, Tom Cully, Joseph Sanders-Wilde, Callum Payne, and James Verecken. Libera's previous album Free spent several weeks in the top 3 position in the UK Classical Charts. The album was also nominated for 2005's Classical Brits Awards "Album of the Year". EMI. 2005.

5 out of 5 stars Libera "Visions" is Fabulous!.......2007-05-12

This music is unbelievable! You can listen to it over and over and still want more. In extreme stress situations (like commuting) it has a great calming affect. I wish this group toured the U.S. sometime!

3 out of 5 stars So, so..........2007-04-12

It's nice, but not so magnificient as their last album... This is for Libera fans (like me) that won't miss a thing about them, even if some songs are re-arranged, repeated or remixed or whatever that means the same. The boys are awesome, as always, but this lacks something... Don't know quite good what it is (I've been playing the dics lately to get a hold on it, and couldn't by some reason)... Anyway, a good buy for rookies ;-)

5 out of 5 stars Libera - Magnificent - Must buy.......2007-01-16

This is Libera's 4th album and I believe that it is one of the best, included on the disk is a video, and some of the best "terbie" music i have ever heard!

The boys who make up the vocal band Libera have been described as "normal" and "ordinary". However, as their recordings and performances demonstrate, the music they produce is truly extraordinary. With shimmering, mystical chords and ecstatic harmonies, they are unlike any other group you have ever heard. At times plaintive, at others climactic and transcendent. These are truly sounds to lift the soul. Celestial sounds for a new time.

5 out of 5 stars Just amazing.......2006-08-03

Exquisite is the only way to describe these young boys voices. The selections and arrangements from beginning to end are unique, so beautifully done and have an other-worldly quality to them. Put aside everything while you listen, you'll think you're not far from heaven. We Are the Lost will bring tears to your eyes and Abide With Me is by far the most moving version I have ever heard. The words to all are included in the booklet. Buy this one, you'll keep it forever.

5 out of 5 stars Libera Visions is absolutely angelic........2006-03-27

I love this CD! I can listen to it over and over. I first heard it on a flight to China, and couldn't wait to get on the return flight home a couple of weeks later so I could hear it again. In fact, while I was in China, I got on line and ordered it, and it was waiting for me when I got home. Outstanding vocals and great music combine to create a mood that's difficult to describe, you just have to hear it to believe it. Truly amazing.

5 out of 5 stars Essential Performances from a Great & Beloved Singer.......2004-01-09

For those of us who grew up on Janet Baker's recordings (and were lucky enough to hear her "live" as well), the sound of her voice and her singular artstic personality - British restraint coupled with fierce emotional and spiritual commitment - are indelibly imprinted in our minds and hearts. The closest current equivalent is Lorraine Hunt Lieberson, another superb artist who has charted her own course, and not surprisingly there is some overlap of repertoire, in the music of J.S. Bach, of course, but also Berlioz's Didon and Beatrice, Handel's Ariodante and Britten's Phaedra (composed for Baker).
This wonderful compilation is complementary to EMI's 2-CD "The Very Best of Janet Baker" -- no overlap of repertoire whatsoever. Unlike that set, which focused on concert repertoire (with orchestra or piano) there's a generous sampling here of Baker's operatic roles including Handel, Mozart, Purcell, Rameau, Gluck, and Britten. Also welcome is "Phaedra," one of Britten's strongest late works. And it's good to have the Berlioz: "Cleopatre" and "Herminie" complete, the big aria from "Beatrice et Benedict." (Why EMI included nothing from her recording of the last 2 scenes of "Les Troyens" is unfathomable.) The wide time-span allows us to hear Baker's voice in all its youthful, "sappy" warmth, as well as in its artistic maturity (though truth to tell she was pretty much a complete artist from the start). There are a few signs of wear in later items, nothing serious, in fact rather less than I remembered. I could have done with fewer of the "Arie Amorose" in favor of more cuts from her Gluck LP, which I believe has never been issued complete on CD, but that's just personal preference. The focus here is entirely on orchestrally accompanied works (or, in the case of the marvelous early disc of Ravel, Chausson & Delage songs, with chamber ensemble) so for Baker the supreme interpreter of English, German and French song you'll need to go elsewhere (the EMI has a fair sampling, especially of her Schubert). But everything here is indispensible.

4 out of 5 stars 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.

5 out of 5 stars 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.

5 out of 5 stars It is a great CD.......2001-03-22

I get this item and I can say is great, if you really want to get an idea about the vienna boys choir's work, you have to get this, you can admire the soloist voice, Emanuel Cencic, he has an outstanding voice, principally the track "let the bright querubin" but in general is a great compilation, you can stop listening.

3 out of 5 stars Found it to lack real depth.......2000-01-12

The songs are nice and the music pleasant to listen to, but the titles are fairly short and there is something missing. I just didn't find it to be very moving, perhaps it's just the recording.

5 out of 5 stars John P. Cutler.......1999-12-29

This CD covers a wide range of music.The Vienna Boys Choir have done another great job. I believe this CD is a great choice, one that You will be happy with.

5 out of 5 stars Outstanding English Recording!.......2006-03-22

This is so outstanding. Beautifully sung and recorded. You might not imagine that is would sound this good in English but it does. If you are a Christian, you owe it to yourself to experience "THe Last Seven Words of Christ". It really says it all.

4 out of 5 stars Wonderful Performance.......2006-02-26

I thought the performance of "The Seven Last Words of Christ" was wonderful. I personally prefer the translation from the old Theodore Presser edition better the the G. Schirmer. The quaility of the soloists and the choir was exceptional. The recording level volume causes you to turn your stereo up and down at times but I found that to be only a minor distraction. It provided my choir with a great sampling of the excitement this wonderful old work can bring. I recommend this recording highly.

5 out of 5 stars A recording absolutely worth your consideration.......2003-07-15

I actually purchased this CD because it has 'Hear My Prayer' on it. However, the clarity and balance between choir and organ on this CD is the best I have heard in any recording. If you're tired of hearing the organ blast away choirs' words or listening to choirs that sound as though they're singing in a huge cavern where all the words join as one, this CD will bring you much needed relief! Not only is the recording quality simply outstanding, the clarity of the choir and the soloists is very, very good.
BTW, the first piece on this CD - 'Hear My Prayer' - is so good that I can still listen to it several times a day. I can not imagine hearing a better recording of this piece of music.

5 out of 5 stars A Gift of God to man.......2002-06-24

This work is a gift of God to man through the talents He gave to one composer and to the musicians who performed it!!

5 out of 5 stars Seven Last Words of Christ.......2001-09-04

I have listened to this CD every day since I got it. I say that without exaggeration. This piece is beautifully done. The music and message are spellbinding. It is a timeless classic that has meaning for anyone who wants to understand the personality of Christ and the essence of his message. The Choir of the First Methodist Church in Lubbock, TX has done a wonderful job. The soloists are powerful. I can't say enough good about it.

5 out of 5 stars Melancholic and wistful--very dreamy.......1999-08-31

The soundtrack is one of the better ones you'll hear. Thematically it is similar to the music of the Christopher Reeve/Jane Seymore film Somewhere In Time. The music also sounds as if it hails from the era of French Impressionism. The strings and woodwinds I find achingly beautiful. I am transported everytime I listen to this sound track. Visions of the scenes of Venice from the movie can be revisited when listening to this soundtrack. I loved it more than the movie itself!

4 out of 5 stars A wistful, melancholy soundtrack.......1999-05-16

The soundtrack contains few melodic highlights except a recurring theme that is associated with the character Millie. But, almost each track conveys a number of moods that changes sometimes abruptly, sometimes subtly in the space of that track. More complex than typical film scores, when that sendimental melody rises from the murk, in those moments, you feel the grace of Millie's love with bracing clarity. This balance of love/friendship and deception, pervasive in the music, beautifully evokes those same conflicts in the characters of the movie. Though I don't think the film score stands well enough on its own, I highly recommend it for any fan of the movie!

5 out of 5 stars Extraordinary.......1999-02-11

"Wings of the Dove" is one of the most compelling scores i've ever listened to. Every time i listen to it, i get reminded of how beautiful the movie (and helena-bonham carter of course) was

5 out of 5 stars This honest and beautiful Soundtrack, will break you heart........1999-01-03

The Wings of the Dove, in it's self is a movie that changes the way you look at things. The soundtrack does the very same. When you listen, you can feel every moment. It Makes you look at life in a new way, while pinpointing moments that, in the movie, touched your heart.

There is a haunting Theme present through out the score, that Brings out the sadness you feel for the Protagonist Milly Theal, and the distaste that you feel for the antagonist Kate Croy. If you loved this movie, The soundtrack will not disappoint you.

5 out of 5 stars Heavenly.......2007-03-29

This is the most uplifting music I have encountered. The angelic sounds of this choral group help me stay sane on California highways!

5 out of 5 stars The Holy Grail of Choral Recordings.......2006-07-03

This was the first choral CD I've ever purchased when I started becomming involved with choir during my senior year of high school five years ago. My director was telling the choir that he had finally found his copy at a music store and referred to it as the "Holy Grail" of choral recordings. So, I went out to find my own copy and I'm still blown away by it today. I've even given copies as gifts. The music is certainly relaxing and such, but what I most value from it is the spiritual magic. The Choir of Trinity College, Cambridge (then and now my favorite choir in the world) brings every composition to life in such a way that's pure, elegant, and deep. Listening to this music and enjoying this choir has allowed me to set my own standard of singing and compositional excellence.

5 out of 5 stars One Small Correction.......2004-03-06

I keep finding new things to love on this CD, including the fact that it has the first recording I found of Gabriel Faure's beautiful Soprano (or Soprano/Alto) duet Ave Maria., Opus 93. The same recording appears on another CD where the singers are named. The above description of this selection unaccountably adds a baritone. Incidentally, Faure also composed a shorter SATB Ave Maria, which John Rutter has recorded.

I only wish the recording included the complete text of Psalm 50/51 from Gregorio Allegri's Miserere Mei Deus. This might come from John Rutter's recently edited score, published by Oxford Press, if I'm not mistaken. I, for one, do not find this selection (or indeed the entire recording) too long and I believe that the embellishments at the end (mentioned in another review) are probably correct when considering performance conventions of the time of its composition.

5 out of 5 stars Gorgeous music, gorgeous performances.......2003-06-19

I am a semi-professional singer with a BA in Music, and I bought this CD with some trepidation because it looked like one of those dreadful "pop classical" compilations that are everywhere lately. But it had lots of great repertoire all in on place, so I decided to risk it, and I was not disappointed! In fact, this is now one of my favorite choral CDs.

As usual, the Choir of Trinity College delivers stunning performances, and the music itself is just gorgeous. Lots of "church" favorites from a wide range of musical periods. The mood of the CD is definitely on the mellow side, but it's perfect for those quiet moods. I love this CD -- highly recommended!

5 out of 5 stars Stunning collection suitable for music nuts or newbies alike.......2002-03-18

Even as an avid fan of classical music with very picky tastes, there was just so much good music packed on these two (cheap!) discs for me to take in at once!
The perfectly balanced and locked chords can really give you chills.

I gave this CD as a present to a good friend of mine who was not so familiar with the genre, with tremendous results. I think this would make a great gift to anyone with the slightest inclination towards classical music.

Tim's song starts off the CD with an amazing story of faith, followed by Leann in one of her best vocal accomplishments to date. I love JoDee's version of a classic and David's new song is absolutely incredible. Mark singing 800 pound Jesus, makes you wanna run right out and find one. The one word I would use to describe this CD is "BUY".

5 out of 5 stars Hymns and anthems beautifully sung by a fine British choir.......1999-10-22

This is a delightful collection of hymns and anthems, familiar and not so familiar, beautifully performed and recorded by a fine but lesser known English choir, with superb organ accompaniment on the Willis organ of Huddersfield Town Hall.

Here can be found examples of everything that is good in the British choral tradition: lusty hymn singing; sustained legato phrasing in Mozart's "Ave Verum"; fervent declamatory singing in Vaughan Williams' "Let all the world"; dramatic contrast and sensitive accompaniment in Mendelssohn's "Hear My Prayer"; generous, open sound in Parry's exultant "I was glad."

"Songs of Praise" has the edge over several similar recordings, by virtue of this choir's infectious enthusiasm for the music it is performing. Hopefully this is the first of many recordings. Well done, Naxos for finding them!
