Editorial Reviews

One of Christian music's top vocal bands, Acappella takes a different course for this 1994 album. Instead of a new set of Keith Lancaster originals, Hymns consists of a selection of traditional hymns, which may sound stodgy, especially when the first track begins in very straight TTBB fashion. Soon it breaks into a familiar groove, however, and with it comes the eclectic style that makes Acappella one of the more interesting groups to listen to. For example, the distinctly technofunk "Rock of Ages" gives way to the medieval opening of "Holy, Holy, Holy," followed by the finger-snapping "In the Garden." A number of the hymns are presented in different languages, including Russian, French, and Spanish, and a large stable of voices occasionally backs up the four principal singers (Duane Adams, Robert C. Guy, Gary Moyers, and George Pendergrass). This album may not be the most representative introduction if you're not familiar with Acappella, but fans shouldn't miss it. --David Horiuchi --This text refers to the Audio CD edition.

Family tradition.......2007-04-02

I grew up listening to this album on vinyl every Christmas. It was a staple in our family and I'm happy to have it on CD now to share for years to come.

A Christmas Classic.......2007-01-28

My father bought this album on reel-to-reel back in the '50's and it has been a part of my Christmas ambience ever since. I absolutely love it, can't have Christmas without it.

Recommended for those who love Orcastrated Music.......2007-01-09

This is a classic CD for those who love orcastrated music. It brings the spirit of Christmas in their homes. It takes you back of the Christmases long ago when it was more relaxed without the hussel and bussel, and without people being so angry. I give this 5 stars and will pass the CD down for future generations!

Love this CD.......2006-12-31

This is an album I grew up with. It holds great memories..Percy Faith IS Christmas in my home. The strings are beautiful.

A Christmas Classic!!!.......2006-03-16

This is my all-time favorite Christmas album. Some like the schmaltzy sounds of Johnny Mathis and Bing Crosby for Christmas, which is fine. But Percy Faith has a pristine ambient beauty of the wordless choir which soars to emotional heights beyond any other Christmas album.

Hymns For All The World.......2002-08-07

Each morning when I wake up, I usually lay in bed and listen to a good portion of an Acappella Company CD before I begin to get ready for school.

This morning, I was listening to "Hymns For All The World."

Hymns For All The World is one of my most favorite albums. "Just As I Am," brings me so close to GOD, and it brings tears to my eyes just listening to it. "Softly and Tenderly" does the same.

But probably my favorite from the album is "Amazing Grace." Many times, I lay on the floor, turn the lights out and listened to it. I've done this many times before, but each time I hear it, it just seems to get more and more beautiful. The peaceful whistling and humming in the beginning relaxes my mind for such a humbling message...

It's loaded with melodies that stay in my head, and it really adds to the beauty of the song. I think I have heard that particular song 20 times today. I just can't get enough of it.

All it takes is one listen!

Totally PRAISE GOD all the way!!.......1999-02-26

I love Acappella, the group, and when this album came out, I was ecstatic. I love their music and the way they put new twists to old christian greats. Thank you Acappella!!!!

Fantastico!.......1998-10-30

Quite a stretch for a company based in Tennessee. Others have favorably commented on the various lingual pronunciations. I enjoyed the renditions of hymns mixed with many languages. This was no small feat. Listen to the hymns, notably "Just as I am", "All Hail the Power"and decide for yourself if Acapella doesn't bring new life to these favorites. The joy they produce is very worthwhile.

One of their best!.......1998-09-17

I have listened to Acapella for years and love their work. This one, like the others, is wonderful. It takes a step toward other cultures that other albums haven't.

They Censored the Lyrics.......2006-12-17

You know, you can have the most awesome choir in the world, yet it could rise as a foul odor to the Living God. The Mormons do not believe that Jesus Christ is God come in the flesh, so they eliminated the second verse and replaced it with brass alone. Here is what they left out...

Christ by highest heav'n adored
Christ the everlasting Lord!
Late in time behold Him come
Offspring of a Virgin's womb
Veiled in flesh the Godhead see
Hail the incarnate Deity
Pleased as man with man to dwell
Jesus, our Emmanuel
Hark! The herald angels sing
"Glory to the newborn King!"

This CD will ring hollow for many. I suggest looking to other works. If they can't handle the entire song, they should have just left it out and sang "Here Comes Santa Claus" instead.

Take your breath away this Christmas!.......2002-09-27

I love Christmas music and I love the Mormon Tabernacle Choir, so this CD is one of my favorites! Some of the songs are not the traditional carols I grew up with, but they are no less enchanting. This season when we celebrate the birth of the Savior, I highly recommend that you add this CD to your collection and get lost in the true spirit of Christmas.

Awesome Performance.......2002-02-01

This is CD is one of THE BEST CDs I have ever listened when it comes to Chorlal Music. Two of my favorit arrangements are Jingle Bells and Lippai/Upon the Mountain. These two songs were arranged by Mr. Donald Ripplinger and it is always a pleasure to listen to them. The Mormon Tabernacle Choir set a pretty high standard of how sacred songs should be sung. Excellent Job! These songs can always be sung in church and they will for sure tickle the sensible strings of the human heart.If you are thinking about buying this CD...DO IT WITHOUT HESITATION. You will not be dissapointed.

Alternative Arrangements.......2001-11-21

May be a interesting choice for those bored with traditional melodies and arrangements. Not a sing-a-long due to variations. Mix keeps your hand on the volume control.

The Mormon Tabernacle Choir does it again.......2001-11-05

The diction is perfect, the ensemble is perfect, the arrangements are perfect - this bargain disk is a far better Christmas value than Christmas albums costing three times as much.

Somewhat disappointing.......2005-09-25

There are some unique and interesting songs of this album. Unfortunately the performance does not shine. I found the singing and accompaniment a bit slow and monotonous and uninspired. Furthermore, it was difficult to understand the words at times (indistinct enunciation). There are a few exceptions: tracks 3, 4, 9, 20, 21 I gave 3 stars in iTunes; all the rest got two stars or less. If you want beautiful, traditional choral music, I recommend any of the albums featuring the Cambridge Singers over this collection.

A Perfect Introduction to Mario Lanza.......2004-11-28

What a pleasure to find two excellent Lanza LPs on one CD. The compilation album You Do Something To Me, first released in 1958, was arguably the best sampling of Lanza's versatility that RCA ever put together. Whether by accident or design, the album offered stunning examples of Lanza's prowess in different genres: popular ballads, operetta, opera, and Italian song. While one might quibble at the absence of Neapolitan songs, it should be noted that at the time of this album's release, Lanza had not yet recorded his finest collection of that genre - the album Mario! (now available on the CD Mario! Lanza At His Best).

The standout tracks from You Do Something To Me are the title song; the thrilling (and rarely heard) Some Day from a 1951 radio show; the song Beloved from the film version of The Student Prince; and a sublime rendition of Che Gelida Manina from La Boheme. There are also impressive renditions of the aria O Tu Che in Seno agli Angeli from The Force of Destiny; the lovely Sylvia; Song of India; and the exciting Lolita. Unlike many of RCA's other Lanza compilations, there is nothing downright bad on the album, though Lygia and the over-exuberant Flower Song should have been remade.

The other album featured here is Lanza's first (and best) album of Christmas songs and carols, originally released in 1956. (Note: the same renditions also feature on the BMG CDs Christmas With Mario Lanza and Christmas Hymns and Carols.) Recorded between 1950 and 1956, most of the numbers showcase the tenor in fine vocal fettle. Ignore the moments of sharpness on O Holy Night, The Lord's Prayer, and Joy to the World, and instead revel in the beauty and commitment that Lanza brings to his singing here.

All in all, a splendid introduction to a vocal phenomenon.

The Greatest Christmas Album Ever.......2004-07-27

I remember this album from the few Christmas records my parents had when I was a very young child, which they would play only once or twice a year. Listening to this album at such a young age formed the visual impressions of the Christmas carols that to this day I still see whenever I hear them. Mario Lanza sang with such passion, I can actually remember trembling to his haunting rendition of Guardian Angels. I guess to a 3-year old it is actually a pretty frightening song. I am thrilled that this album is finally available in CD format and will become a permanent addition to my collection.

THE ULTIMATE IN CHRISTMAS MUSIC BY MARIO LANZA!!!.......2003-11-30

I really like this album (and the cute picture of Mr.Lanza on the cover) of one of Lanza's best Christmas collection. He did a very good audition of "Guardian Angels","O Come, All Ye Faithful" and "The First Noel" and he did them with allot of passion although he should have practiced a little more for the rest(but not much). His songs will make you cry. My boyfriend can sing just like him (and maybe better) this is also his favorite album. I have heard some other Christmas albums that he has done and I think this is his best! I think that they should add more songs to this album to make it even more special. We will always remember him. I hope he is singing in Heaven.

Mario Lanza = THE ULTIMATE.......2000-12-21

My parents had this CD in record form when I was young. I was so happy to hear it again! "The Lord's Prayer" is perfect. "Guardian Angels" is moving beyond words. All of the Christmas songs are incredible, particularly where there are climactic endings (such as "The First Noel"). This is an absolute treasure of a Christmas collection!

The most wonderful Christmas Collection Ever.......2000-12-13

This collection has been in my family for years. We pull it out ever year and listen to Mario Lanza's wonderful voice. Time can never change the feelings that come up when I listen to this collection. The Guardian Angels song is a must for anyone that truly loves the Christmas Story.
