Lead Me On Amy Grant.......2007-05-26

Hello. This is a powerful album with a positive messege. These are good songs.

Great CD.......2007-04-21

The more I listen to this cd, the more I like it!

At first I thought it was an Amy Grant Lemon, but the more I listened, the more I realized the songs were terrific; it was just the 80's production value I disliked: heavy drum synthesizer sound on practically all the songs, etc.

Unlike the previous reviewer, "Sure Enough" and "All Right" are two of my favorite songs on the cd. Very catchy, upbeat tunes that stay with you long after the cd is over.

I've been an Amy Grant fan for years, but I didn't own this one, until just recently. Very nice, and I enjoyed Gary Chapman's musicianship on this one. Really miss his music.

Great cd.

Some of her best stuff..........2007-03-04

It has been an interesting thing to watch the various iterations of Amy Grant's career over the past three decades, who seems to have run the gamut from being the poster child of Contemporary Christian Music through her secular hits and a more recent return to songs about her Christian faith heritage. The "Lead Me On" album seems to be a high point in the transition from CCM success to a more mainstream focus.

"Lead Me On" is a solid effort. Grant wrote many of the songs herself, which I always appreciate. The title track is great, as are "Shadows" and "Wait for the Healing." "If These Walls Could Speak" is probably my favorite track, with great lyrics and a beautiful melody.

Of course, this album has a very dated 80's sound to it. And there are a few clunkers. I don't like the very drum-heavy "All Right." And "Sure Enough" has a very strange guitar solo that just doesn't fit with Amy Grant's style.

A few minor gripes notwithstanding, I really enjoy this album. For those who don't mind the sound of the 80's, "Lead Me On" is a good album to get a taste of how Amy Grant hit the charts and laid the groundwork for the multi-platinum (and far inferior) "Heart of Motion." Other than my personal favorite Grant album, "Collection," I recommend "Lead Me On" as a good place to hear and appreciate why Amy Grant has had such a successful career over the years.

Simply a Fabulous Album.......2006-03-07

I am 19 years old, and I can still remember hearing this when I was 3 and 4 years old along with all other Amy Grant albums. There is just something about this one and 2 songs in particular that captured me when I was a little kid and I still love these songs today. I am one of the few young people who know that Amy Grant is almost solely responsible for Chrisian music being what it is today......artists now owe alot to Amy Grant and Michael W. Smith, Rich mullin...etc.

Saved by Love is very well done vocally with Amy hitting the different harmonies.Many other songs are great also, but without a doubt the powerhouse song on this album is "Lead Me On".

Lets start with the intro to the song....if you have only seen the video or heard the shorter version you are cheating yourself. It starts off with just the base pedal and soft electric guitars in the backround. It slowly builds up to the chorus with a great lead guitar part. Then fades to the verse. There are many great musical performances on this song but the best is the Drumming....Fantastic. Now lets get to the lyrics. It discusses the slavery of the Jews in Eygpt before their deliverance. The second verse talks about the holocaust. It is very haunting but done very well. The chorus is infectious. Lead Me On, Lead Me On To a place where the river runs into YOUR keeping....Lead Me On Lead Me On the awaited deliverance comforts the seeking ....Lead On. The bridge does something not many christian artists did back then....it left you pondering WHY these things happen??

There is a reason why this album is rated the #1 by ccm as the greatest Christian album of all-time. This is a must have, by the greatest chrsitian artist there has ever been.

One of Amy's Best.......2005-10-04

This cd was one of my favorites growing up. Then it was on a cassette which left out songs like "Wait for the Healing" and "If You Have to go Away" off the tape. The cd is awesome. A must own for an Amy Grant fan or anyone who likes rockin' Christian music.

The Price Club.......2005-04-28

"I am here," said Leontyne Price when interviewed as she opened the new Metropolitan Opera with Samuel Barber's underrated ANTONY AND CLEOPATRA, "and you will know that I am the best and will hear me. The color of my skin or the kink of my hair or the spread of my mouth has nothing to do with what you are listening to." Back in the 1960s Price was one of the greatest divas in all of opera, and it wasn't just her voice but her magnificent stage presence, combined with her social activism. All of the above come into play in this collection of secular songs and ditties, some of them traditional plantation chanties and others, art songs and a scattering of pop music. And some of them, like Gershwin's "Summertime," cross the ever-permeable boundaries between Broadway and classical. These recordings were made at different times in Price's career, and her voice, while always angelic, has different shadings and reaches a different range of timbre in each separate recording date, but there is no question that, as time goes by, she is able to impart a richness of life experience noticeably absent from some of her earlier work.

"Ave Maria" sounds heavenly no matter which way you slice it, and as for "I Wonder As I Wander," it brings tears to your eyes. If you have a heart that's beating you will be moved by this rendition. "Ein feste Burg" is pretty strong, but Price seems more comfortable with the traditional spirituals, though perhaps it is the slightly off-kilter sounds of the Ambrosian Singers (what a name) who back her up on many of these tracks, that detract slightly from the experience. Compare "Lead Kindly Light" for a clear sense of what constitutes authority vs. what is a wee bit overproduced. If you had this compilation, and perhaps one of Leontyne Price's Christmas albums, you could attain nirvana any time you wanted to, just flip a switch and close your eyes, let her lift you up on wings of song.

A living legend.......2005-03-10

Leontyne Price (still alive) and already passing into immortality amongst vocal artists, both classical and popular. Leontyne Price stands at the pinnacle of her classical art, but those who only know her work in La Forza del destino or the Verdi Requiem are in for a heart rending treat with this album where Leontyne Price goes home to her roots in Mississippi and gives an unabashed account of the classic spirituals she sang as a young woman. Like John Mc Cormacks rendering of Irish songs there is a personal longing and devotion expressed here that reveals a side of the artist not known in the bulk of their "classical" repetoire. A sense of going home like Citizen Kane's rosebud, or as Dorothy Gale observes at the end of the Wizard of Oz "everything I could ever have wanted was right in my own backyard "

not your daddy's old timey spiritual.......2004-06-23

Agreed this is a good cd for a beautiful voice, but this is not, repeat not, for someone who wants to hear that old-timey religious fervor that you think of when you've been to a Black Baptist hand-clapping, standing, swaying, and singing service.

Immaculate Vocals of Leontyne Price.......2003-12-31

IMMACULATE, SUPERB vocal range and style! There's no other words that can complement Miss Leontyne Price's vocal arrangements. Miss Price's voice is strong, and shrills very nicely to the instruments played on many songs listed on this double CD which is a joy to treasure; every song listed are songs I was raised to hearing and singing. Miss Price is the reason why many of these songs remain in popularity and presently used. Miss Leontyne Price has been incredible in many of her past performances. This is my fourth CD of Miss Price and I am glad to own this particular CD forever and ever. Many thanks to the executors who found this remarkable album and upgraded it to a CD format! **Angi**

Great Gospel Stuff.......2001-04-12

This is a great CD. The only problem I have with it is that on some of the selections there is a boy's choir screaming in the background, and this takes away (a bit) from her performance. That said, her best selections are those that are either unaccompanied or those where her voice is not buried. Songs that strike me are - His Name So Sweet, He's Got The Whole World, Were You There, I Wonder as I Wander, Lift Every Voice and Sing, and my all time favourite Summertime. Enough said.

Nice Collection.......2007-03-05

I have many collections of Purcell's Music. This collection stands up to them at half the price. Solid buy.

PERFECT!.......2006-10-26

There is only a word with which I can describe this set of discs: perfect!
The only flaw there is, is not related to the singing or playing: no text enclosed.

Great singing and excellent value for money.......2004-09-19

This is probably one of the best anthologies of Purcell songs around, and not just because it's two-for-one pricing means it contains twice as much music (CD1:74'24" & CD2: 77'41")! Nancy Argenta has an irrepressible sense of style and crystal clear diction. But unlike Emma Kirby, whose vocal purity can become tiresome, these renditions radiate warmth. She is also, I have found, more consistently involving than any one of the singers in Hyperion's three disc survey of Complete Secular Songs (recently reissued as a single set). One marvels at how she judiciously balances restraint and emotional forthrightness. The accompaniments (archlute, viola da gamba, harpsichord, and organ) are well judged and blend with the voice, all helped by an excellently defined recording acoustic. This is an absolute winner at any price!

More than two hours of beautiful 17th century 'ayres'.......2001-08-02

Two CDs, totaling more than 150 minutes of sparsely-arranged (never more than 3-5 instruments at a time), sweetly-sung, 350 year old 'ayres' (a typically English form of secular music). Nancy Argenta's soprano voice is lovely, silvery indeed as her name implies. The instruments are a discreet but friendly accompaniment to her solo voice. Perhaps the instruments are a little too discreet -- there are times when I wish they were a touch more prominent. But that is a very, very minor complaint. A beautiful collection, and quite well worth the money.

Majestic hymns sung with British accents. A great combination! I haven't noticed any objectionable sounds on my copy.

hymns we sang in church.......2003-02-16

i grew up in a traditional presbyterian church that had a pipe organ. i wanted a cd of many of the hymns that we sang in church sung by a choir and accompanied by a pipe organ. this cd fulfilled my wishes perfectly. the hymns are performed in a very straight-forward fashion with no show-boating or excess flourishes which is exactly what i wanted. this is not gospel music but what i refer to as liturgical music to indicate that it is religious music but not gospel music. i would give it 5 stars but there is a slight hiss. other than that the recording quality is very good.

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.

Horrible Sound! The Quality is Poor!.......2006-12-11

With the exception of the hit single "Lead Me On", the rest of the material is dull and uninspiring. Terribly produced and the sound quaility is awful! Buyer beware!

MONOTONE.......2006-07-04

I Own the LP that this CD is based on. I even have a 45 of "Lead me on" with "Love me Like you Mean it" as a B side. Other reviewers aparrently discovered what I did upon listening to this CD. It is recorded/mastered in MONO SOUND. Is this the end of the world? No, but it is a bit dull considering the rather wild and rich stereo sound the music was actually recorded in. Had I known then what I know now about this disk I might have waited for a better alternative. FOR DIEHARD OR TONE DEAF FANS ONLY!

Amazing!.......2006-06-05

I bought this CD for the "Lead Me On" track and to my surprise found that most of the other tracks were really very good. This CD brings back to life the vibrance of the 70's and is an absolute must for serious CD collectors. I found the sound quality of this CD flawless as well, and I really hope there will be some more Maxine Nightingale CD releases in the not too distant future!!!

Thank GOD....finally.......2006-04-15

I have waited and thought NEVER to see this on CD.....LEAN ME ON....what I say.

Disaster!.......2006-01-09

Only buy this if you, like me, had to have it on CD. The sound is *astonishingly* awful. No excuse. Why this artist is so obscure and so difficult to obtain on CD is a mystery.

a voice teacher and early music fan.......2007-02-05

This is a really good representation of 20th century hymn tunes sung by a typical British Choir made up of boy sopranos, male altos and the usual number of tenors and basses. The choir sings very well using good diction and appropriate interpretation. The arrangements are varied, different groups of voices singing parts of a hymn usually alternating and eventually the full choir joins in; nothing unusual in the arrangements themselves. There is a nice variety of hymns, some more interesting than others. I will comment on a few of them as follows:
The opening hymn:'Christ, triumphant, ever reigning' is a good opener in that it is quick and begins with the boy sopranos and immediately gets your attention. John Barnard's majestic 'Guiting Power' tune sweeps the words up in a wide-ranging,flowing melody that creates from them a fine hymn.
'I, the Lord of sea and sky(Here I am, Lord) is a truly striking hymn! The words of this song begin with a proclamation in the verses; this is answered in the refrain by the singer's commitment to service. This is reflected in the tune. The melody for the verses has a vigorous movement to proclaim the work of God in creation, His continuing love for that creation,and His call for service. Both the words and music are by the American Jesuit musician Daniel L. Schutte, who has served both on college campuses and in parish ministry.
'All My Hope On God Is Founded' the tune of which is written by Herbert Howells and is called 'Michael'in memory of his son who died in childhood. It is a lovely melody and the words suit it very well.
The composer Ralph Vaughan Williams was the music editor of the 'English Hymnal'. The most widely used of his own tunes was the 'Monk's Gate' which he created from a folk tune. It is subtly contrived, as the rhythm of the alleluias shows. 'Sine nomine' simply means without a name.The resulting hymn is 'For All the Saints'.

The Wells Cathedral Choir under the direction of Malcolm Archer accompanied by Rupert Gough on the organ have produced an excellent disc.

Dan Schutte's Here I Am, Lord.......2001-01-08

I bought this collection because I saw the song, Here I Am, Lord written by Daniel Schutte. I grew up singing this song and many other pieces from the St. Louis Jesuits and this continues to be one that has deep meaning for me. In addition, the other pieces in this collection are very enjoyable to listen to, not only for worship but for time of reflection.

God is an Englishman.......2000-06-05

After the Anglican Communion, particularly the American branch, has completed its transformation from a church to a political-social club, at least it will be remembered for two things: the beautiful and influential language of its Book of Common Prayer (1662) and its wonderful music. The English Hymn, volume 1, is a promising start to another English music series by Hyperion. This series complements Hyperion's English Anthems series, its Psalms at St. Paul's (many volumes of Anglican chant), and its two-CD collection of "Mags and Nuncs" (My Soul Doth Magnify the Lord and My Spirit Hath Rejoiced). Volume 1, "Christ Triumphant," features hymns written in the 20th century. The styles of the hymns range from confident, pre-Great War, "God is an Englishman" roof-raisers to insipid, happy-clappy jingles, which inadvertently, I assume, parallel the decline of the church. The Wells Cathedral Choir sings with gusto and, typical of Hyperion, the sound quality is excellent. My only disappointment came when the CD ended - is this all there is to the 20th century? I hope Hyperion plans to include more than one volume on the 20th century in this series. If you enjoy this type of music, you will be satisfied with this CD. If you have CDs from the other series listed above, the English Hymn, vol. 1, and a programmable, carousel-CD player, now you can click your heels and transport yourself to Evensong at King's College, Cambridge, or St. Paul's, London!

The beautifully captured reverberant sound of the acoustic space is matched by gorgeous choral balance, precise diction, and definitive interpretation. In spite of the contemporary style of the compositions - Rorem doesn't shy away from crunchy dissonances - this is a very enjoyable collection of Choral music with many beautfiul moments.
