If you are trying to decide between this recording and "Cloudburst," pick this one. The female voices do not have that shrieking quality that they do on "Cloudburst" and the soprano soloist from the BYU Singers is fantastic.

I do prefer the faster pacing of some of the pieces on the "Cludburst" recording, but this one is better all around.

5 out of 5 stars My Favorite Choral Composer.......2007-03-09

Taken as a whole, Eric Whitacre is my favorite choral composer. I have to listen to his music at least once a week. As far as student choirs go, BYU does a stunning job for the most part. The few minor mistakes do not detract from the music. This is an essential album in my book.

3 out of 5 stars whitacre.......2007-01-25

I bought this CD because it included the piece "Lux aurumque", which I feel must have been inspired because it transforms the listener into another realm. The other pieces are well done, too, but none reach me in the same way as "Lux aurumque". I love the tight overlapping harmonies and suspensions.

5 out of 5 stars Choral excellence.......2007-01-07

I asked for, and received, this recording for Christmas based on the excellence of prior BYU performances and having really enjoyed performing Cloudburst in the past. This recording does not disappoint. It excels on every level. The choral writing is compelling and the performance of the BYU Singers is simply amazing. I've been around choral singing for many, many, years and the level of achievement here is stunning. Based solely on hearing recordings and seeing their recorded concerts on PBS, I would recommend anything from the BYU choral department.

5 out of 5 stars Spine tingling.......2006-12-29

I was VERY suprised to hear this kind of sound from a college choir! The blend of the choir and the emotion behind the music is enough to give anyone goosebumps. From the soaring harmonies of "Water Night" to the subdued tenderness of "Sleep" to the playfulness of "Leonardo" this disc has something for everyone. A guaranteed Best Buy!

5 out of 5 stars GREAT CD OF INSPIRATIONAL MUSIC.......2007-07-04

I ordered this CD to get one song,"We Shall Behold Him",and was blown away by the two CD's. Sandi Patty has always been a favorite of mine but I have not heard many of the songs on these CD's. The old favorites are done with arrangements that give you goose bumps. And of course when I ordered this from Amazon I never knew I would get it so quickly. Thanks Amazon.

5 out of 5 stars Extra bonus CD.......2007-03-10

Contains two CDs, both are great.... I can't decide which is my favorite. This is the best of Sandy Patti singing great hymns I grew up on and a few newer tunes. You will not be disappointed in her song selections and, as always, her fabulous voice which touches your heart and soul.

5 out of 5 stars Spectacular!.......2006-12-11

Sandi's voice has never been better! It is so clear and warm and rich. Just lovely. And sincere. The songs chosen for this CD set are absolutely perfect. If you are a Sandi Patty fan, of course you will love this album. But even if you just enjoy a beautiful soprano voice and inspirational music, you can't go wrong with any of her CDs.

I just saw her Christmas concert the other night, and all I can say is "Wow!". She is even more incredible in person, if that's possible.

5 out of 5 stars Hymns of Faith: Songs of Inspiration .......2006-08-25

I love Sandi Patty. As for the cd when I first got it. It wouldn't play after the first song. I have a cd repair kit and tried that. Now it works fine.

5 out of 5 stars Groundbreaking Album & Still Relevant.......2007-04-17

It is amazing to listen to this album from 1993 and see how truly current it still is....this album features every dimension of the Depeche Mode sound, from haunting orchestrations to soul-searching lyrics and vocals to straight forward modern music with catchy beats & melodies....

In a time where every so-called artist sounds the same and is manufactured for quick release at your local Wal-Mart or other big box, bands like Depeche Mode stand as a lone voice in the wilderness of so much crap. People think they know "modern/alternative music"? HA! Depeche Mode invented it and they continue to re-invent....Songs of Faith and Devotion is a classic....best tracks include "Walking in My Shoes", "In Your Room", "Get Right With Me", "One Caress", etc....

5 out of 5 stars Possibly the best DM?.......2007-03-18

I think so. Perhaps it is because I prefer their rock/rock acoustic side in comparison with their pure new wave sounds, still, even some of their hardcore fans recognise SOFAD as Depeche Mode's most interesting/ intriguing work.

The album contains some of their best songs and my personal favourites, such as 'I feel you', 'Walking in my shoes' and, undoubtedly, 'In Your Room' (by the way, guys, where was 'In Your Room' in your Best Of? - oh well, it was volume I, I hope it will be included in vol. II maybe?). Its dark ambience and melancholic tunes (I would say melancholic rather than depressing)are almost hypnotizing, and David Gahan's voice suits this album more than any other.

Even if you are not familiar with DM's work, this is a great chance to discover them - a much better opportunity than their Best Of - Vol. 1 release. This album is good even for an agnostic atheist like myself.

4 out of 5 stars An audio journey into new lands of spirituality and darkness.......2007-02-21

A bold - and to many listeners, shocking - venture into the transition of musical frontiers, from a band already renowned for a seemingly very different genre, Depeche Mode's Songs of Faith and Devotion hit the music world like a proverbial earthquake upon its initial release in 1993.

Some fans rejoiced, others fulminated, and many more were for the most part just plain confused, as the line between the band's former (and considered to be, signature) style of music and that of more traditional rock seemed to blur for a moment.

To say, however, that Songs of Faith and Devotion is simply Depeche Mode's experimental crossover into a more rock-oriented genre would be both an injustice and an understatement. At closer listening, one begins to realize that this album is not about Depeche Mode becoming a rock group; rather, it is about the band's artistic journey into new lands of spirituality and darkness, touching upon subjects of a more noetic nature than those in previous albums, and with a greater depth and emotion than is found on the songs of most other albums.

Amongst the very best of SOFAD:

In Your Room (one of the greatest songs ever recorded)
Walking in My Shoes
Higher Love
Mercy in You
One Caress
Judas

This album is, in my opinion, one of the 3 greatest ever done by Depeche Mode - along with Violator and Black Celebration.

SOFAD is an audio journey most definitely worth taking - and returning to time and again, no doubt.

5 out of 5 stars Yes, this one's great too........2006-12-09

I tend to find that the people who don't like "Songs of Faith and Devotion" are in two categories: Electronic purists who are so set in their ways that DM doing a guitar based album is a travesty (although hints started with "Black Celebration"), people wrongfully accusing it as an attempt to stay relevant (followed "Violator" and most of these are songs that Pearl Jam and the likes never have & never will make). But beyond that, there isn't one single bad song on "SoFaD." It may take awhile to digest it though, I'll admit. It took awhile for me to get used to the "noir-gospel" of "Condemnation," but I now really love that song. The lyrics are not really embarassing, and "I Feel You" is one of Depeche Mode's greatest songs ever (that says a lot!). Another classic is the six-and-a-half minute "In Your Room." Martin Gore sings on a couple of slower-toned, orchestral tracks like the dark yet beautiful "Judas" and string-heavy "One Caress." Sure, the single version of "Walking in My Shoes" is better than the one on here, but that doesn't make this "not worth owning." Not only this, every song still sounds like Depeche Mode. The songs I didn't mention are still wonderful too, and I particularly like the punch of "Get Right with Me" and the pseudo-industrial "Rush." Gore is usually great when he writes the type of dark lyrics on this album, part of its greatness.

In short: It's worth owning because it's a wonderful band at a creative peak, it's cheap, and even if the cover art is lackluster the music will help you overlook that (but I think that's why some people presumptively dismiss & mock the album). Hey, the first two albums have my favorite cover art and are my least favorites that the group did.

5 out of 5 stars Mercy in You.......2006-12-07

This album is excellent, lots of good reviews so mine will be about one song from the album, Mercy in You. This song for me, has been what DM has meant to me over the years.

I would lose my way again
Be led hopelessly astray again
Just so I could pray again
For the mercy in you

These words are such a strong statement to do wrong, to do bad, if only for the forgiveness that is offered, to return again. This has been for me a taunting of religion, of sin and how foolish and at the same time rewarding the whole process is. Alot of events in the lives of DM happened after this album and Ultra was released with the abscense of Wilder.

    The first time I heard Daniel O'Donnell was on PBS. I will never forget it because I ususally never stop on that particular channel. But there is something about his voice - and his stage presence - and the songs he was singing that made him unforgettable to me.

    This is a magnificent collection of inspirational songs that Daniel O'Donnel has sung so beautifully. "You Raise Me Up", "Surely The Presence of the Lord", "Here I Am Lord", are my mentionable favorites.

    A+

    5 out of 5 stars An Irish ambassador to the world!.......2005-12-11

    American audiences probably - and unfortunately - didn't get their intro to Irish singer Daniel O'Donnell until Public Television aired his 2003 concert of this two-disc, 24-song collection. And what a debt we owe PBS. A truly phenomenal singer, O'Donnell has blessed just about every field of music - pop, rock, country, inspirational - with an incredible punch. This collection is an interdenominational collection of inspirational music that O'Donnell treated a packed audience in a live show in his native country. There's little, if anything, that O'Donnell can't do to his selected songs in this jewel of a CD - from standards like "Nearer My God to Thee," "I Saw the Light," "Sweet Queen of Peace" and "Let There Be Peace" to crossover inspirational pop hits like "Wind Beneath My Wings," "Put Your Hand in the Hand" and "One Day at a Time." As an Irish Catholic, O'Donnell unleashes one of the most inspirational versions of "Make Me a Channel of Your Peace" (The Prayer of St. Francis). As if he needed it, O'Donnell has terrific backup from a gifted group of singers and musicians. In particular, Irish singer Mary Duff joins O'Donnell in "Will the Circle Be Unbroken" and goes solo in an upbeat rendition of "He's Got the Whole World in His Hands" and which gets the audience stirred up enough to join in. O'Donnell does the Irish proud, and if the United Nations ever needs an Irish ambassador to the world, it ought to check out O'Donnell. For us in the audience, though, O'Donnell gives us the treat of an incredible range of talent and entertainment, and this collection in particular has little - if anything - to criticize. An amazing, wonderful talent!

    5 out of 5 stars The greatest songs ever?.......2007-07-26

    I heard 'clear or cloudy', from this recording, on the radio recently and had to purchase it. It is strange but it is the sort of song that makes life prior to listening to it different from life after. I find it sad that so many people haven't heard it. There are also many other wonderful works in this collection. Given you get twelve well recorded CDs with top quality performances, this has to be one of the bargains of the age.

    Please buy it.

    5 out of 5 stars 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.

    5 out of 5 stars 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).

    Many know Georgia Stitt as the vocal coach on the primetime reality series Grease: You're the One That I Want, but she has a thriving "side" business as an arranger, conductor, musical director, pianist and songwriter. It's the latter aspect that gets showcased on this album, in which Stitt's songs are performed by a collection of topnotch Broadway pros. The overall mood is one of thoughtful longing, emphasized by largely acoustic arrangements, mostly by either Stitt or her husband, Jason Robert Brown (The Last 5 Years). While perfectly crafted, the songs quickly blend into each other; their share a certain polite, "beige" elegance that also lacks inner fire. This makes the tracks breaking from that mold stand out even more: Jenn Colella brings a nice twang to the rollicking "Big Wings;" Faith Prince sounds positively delighted on the jaunty "I Get to Show You the Ocean;" and Kelli O'Hara demonstrates why she's one of the finest interpreters on Broadway on the sepia-tinted "Perfect Summer," which sometimes sounds like something cut from a 1940s musical (Stitt herself plays the piano on all three songs). --Elisabeth Vincentelli

    5 out of 5 stars Georgia Stitt has something to say.......2007-05-15

    Georgia Stitt has something to say. She speaks with sincerity through lyrics that notice the details of living and find substance. Her music is equally honest in it varied flavors from artsong ("These Two") to my least favorite--country ("Big Wings") to fun show tune ("I Get to Show you the Ocean") to power ballad ("The Holy Secret" and the stunning "I Lay my Armor Down") to the intimate, more sophisticated than pop, title track. No matter the flavor of the music, the unifying factor is a fresh look at the little gestures of living that unintentionally expose a bit of truth.

    5 out of 5 stars One of the brightest new voices in the American theater........2007-05-13

    Bravo to the folks at PS Classics for issuing this splendid disc dedicated to songs by this terrefic young writer....you could not ask for better performances.

    5 out of 5 stars A Triumph!.......2007-05-13

    If you're looking for music from one of the most influential up and coming Broadway writers of our time, with people who actually know what they're doing behind the microphone, then you've found your match with this album!

    Through this whirlwind roller coaster ride of emotions, we get to know a little more about Ms. Stitt, and are all the better for it. She's got some of Broadway's brightest stars singing her emotionally wrought lyrics and soulfully moving themes. Between her and her husband, we may be looking at our generation's Comden and Green!

    The highlight of this CD, for me, is Faith Prince's rendition of "I Get to Show You the Ocean." If you've any love of Broadway at all, BUY THIS CD!

    5 out of 5 stars Gorgeous!.......2007-04-26

    I'm SO glad I bought this CD! Each beautiful song is a mini One Act play, with glorious and surprising melodies, and sophisticated, engaging lyrics. Oh, and the voices! Kelli O'Hara singing "Perfect Summer" is simply gorgeous, and Faith Prince's light-hearted and touching vocal on "I Get To Show You The Ocean" is perfection. Every song is a winner!

    5 out of 5 stars The Isaacs - Wonderful musicians and people.......2003-12-07

    I own every Isaacs CD on the market. And this newest one is way up there on my list. Beckys version of "I Surrender All" she sings it with such feeling. I've met this wonderful group and my band had the opportunity to open for them. Its just so awesome to know they are for real. I strongly recommend this, esp if you love older gospel tunes. They've truly made the old songs their own. Keep it up guys!! God Bless

    4 out of 5 stars Wonderful Collection.......2004-11-05

    This collection is wonderful. The music easily flows through your mind and doesn't easily leave. This is normally a bad thing for some music however this collection of songs stays with you the way a memory of Summertime as a child stays with you. One of the better "Best of" collections I've ever purchased which is striking considering my favorite artist is Bjork and I generally don't like easy listening music. A must Buy.

    2 out of 5 stars Disappointing.......1999-09-13

    Prepare yourself; the first six tracks are not in stereo.

    Percy Faith re-recorded the song Baubles, Bangles and Beads in stereo, and that version is wonderful! The original was stale and flat by comparison. I was very disappointed when the CD was played, and the monophonic version lacked the quality, bass transients, and depth of the stereo version by this artist.
