Customer Reviews:

Two tracks I really like.......2007-07-21

The Mission Impossible theme is performed well.
The Fireball theme is actually much improved on this version. I prefer the orchestra and the vocals over the original.

Quantity Over Quality.......2007-01-15

As a musician myself, I know too well that one of the most important ingredients in ANY performance (live or recorded) is passion. The recordings here generally lack the same passion and sheer drama of the originals. Much of the instrumentation has been reduced to a cheezy, thin, plastic synthesized replica. The performances are simply a watered-down lackluster version of the classic originals. If it were not for the sheer volume of tracks compiled here, I would have rated the comp only "one star".

Mediocre.......2006-05-17

The sound quality for this collection isn't much better than the samples offered by Amazon.

One Hundred Greatest TV Themes.......2005-08-06

I have watched almost all the shows that are on these 4 cd's. Many were made before I started watching TV. Most I've seen once or twice before.

Pretty close to original recordings.......2005-07-24

Definitely not as good as the originals. You'll probably notice the slight differences since it's stuff you saw and listened to every week or everyday in reruns growing up, but it's still an amazing collection.

Customer Reviews:

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.

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

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!

Hymns in the Anglican Tradition Beautifully Performed.......2007-01-24

This is one more example of hymns in the Anglican Tradition, sung by the always excellent choir of King's College, Cambridge. It is a splendid example of the sonorous sound of men and boys, accompanied by a classic English organ and, for the quieter hymns, the gentle sound of harp. All the familiar hymns and hymn tunes are here. You will not regret adding this CD to your collection.

Very inspiring music.......2005-07-06

I always enjoy listening to this Cd and particularly because of the orchestra and mellifluous choir. I especially enjoy: A Mighty Fortress, Come Down, O Love Divine, Praise to the Lord, the Almighty, and Thine Be The Glory. Some of the selections are soft such as "The Lord's My Shepherd" and "Drop, Drop, Slow Tears." Still, it is a fabulous selection and one of my favorites.

Great English Hymns.......2005-02-10

This was one of my Christmas gifts and I really looked forward to listening to it. I had just visited King's College, Cambridge back in August and really liked it--you should try to make it out there if possible.

Anyway, this CD was great to listen to. Some hymns are scored for orchestral accompaniment, choir and organ, while the majority of tracks are just for choir and organ.

Recorded in the King's College Chapel (the front cover has a great shot of the ceiling's trademark "fan" stone carving), the hymns are pure English sound--boys' treble voices along with men's changed voices singing with a pure, clean, straight tone. It's very sweet-sounding.

The hymns chosen are also great; "Be Thou My Vision," an Irish classic, appears along with "When I Survey the Wondrous Cross," "All People That on Earth Do Dwell," and "Morning Has Broken" (later recorded by Cat Stevens).

The singing isn't especially elaborate--they're just simple hymns. They're orchestrated very well, however, and they sound great.

Religious people may prefer these recordings more in general--these are Christian hymns after all--but I think it's a great recording and is worth listening too, especially if you enjoy that English sound!

Buy this CD!.......2004-09-20

Having heard Kings College Choir twice, in the flesh, at Kings, this CD is a wonderful example of what you might hear. If you can't make it to Cambridge, buy this CD. It contains many of the old favorites and also some hymns that are not found on other English hymn CD's.

English Choirs.......2002-12-18

Having visited many Cathedrals throughout the UK and listened to the enchanting voices of the boys choirs, I was disappointed with this particular rendering from Kings. Perhaps I am biased in that I enjoy the organ background or no background but the use of a full blown orchestra, in my opinion, tended to overwhelm and was totally unnecessary and somewhat grandoise choice on the part of Stephen Cleobury. Apart from that, much of the music was excellent. In comparison with other CD's from Kings, this was disappointing.

The best Cronos-era Comp!.......2005-09-27

This is the best Cronos-era compilation, track listing-wise. Sure, "In League With Satan" is remastered, while this is a mid-price release, but this has the ORIGINAL versions of "Black Metal", "Welcome To Hell", and several other well-known songs. On "In League..", "Black Metal" is a VERY abbreviated 40 second live version, and sounds much newer. Other songs are later live versions as well on that one. That one is supposedly the "official" comp. but this is best. Get this, and "The Collection", a mid-price comp. of the Demolition Man years, and you will not be disappointed!

Venom rocks!.......2004-02-14

this is a really good band. Cronos has such a great voice. The band can really play. if you want to listen to venom i would suggest getting this cd or one of there older ones first (especially if you have never heard them) such as: welcome to hell, black metal, at war with satan, and in league with satan. well in case you didnt know this band's music is black metal so that means it has to do with satanic lyrics. if that doesnt offend you then go for it. Venom is raw and fast. so yeah i would really recommend venom.

A GOOD GREATEST HITS BY THIS BAND........2004-01-16

This cd is chalk full of venoms classic hits from when they first started.The production is bad but the songs are great and have lots of passion from this legendary band.I would recommend this cd to any fan of this band who doesnt already own all their albums.METAL RULES!!!

Terrible Production, Horrible Musicianship, Great Fun.......2003-08-06

Venom were the pioneers of extreme metal and the roads cleared by pioneers are never smooth. Consider Venom the axes and squeaky wagonwheels forging their way through the uncharted terrain of black metal. Most of the tunes here sound like they were recorded in a garage on a compact office-type cassette recorder. And Cronos, Mantas and Abaddon as musicians will never be confused with Rob Halford, Yngwie Malmsteen and Dave Lombardo. But together the recordings have a lot of (evil) spirit (boo!) and the cartoonish lyrics are great. Venom is classic!

Excelent.......1999-11-02

Venom is the most under rated band of all time. I cannot express how good this collection is.

For those who like hymns sung by an Anglican cathedral choir with organ accompaniment, this is an excellent choice. You should be aware, however, that 17 of the items were previously available on Abbey Records LP "O Praise Ye The Lord" MVP808. The 18th item is not a hymn but a motet - "Faire is the heaven" by William Harris.

Release on CD.......2002-08-21

For those who like recordings of favourite hymns by Anglican cathedral choirs, this is an excellent recording. Prospective purchasers should be aware however that all the hymns on the record were originally released on an Abbey LP in 1979 under the title "O Praise Ye The Lord". There is one addition - the motet "Faire is the Heaven" by William Harris which brings the total listening time to 54:01.

compare.......2001-08-31

I say compare because this recording, dating from 1992, shows how a fine group can get even better. Only one singer from this time, Kevin Baum, a tenor, is still singing with the group. It is fascinating that even with turnover their ensemble just gets better and better in an amazingly consistent way. The program is varied as their programs always are. For my part, the gem is "The Bluebird" by Stanford. This is one of those songs that, once heard, is never forgotten. I have several recordings of it that I always enjoyed but this one leaves them behind. It contains a solo for soprano, sung by Randall Wong which is hair raising, I know of no other way to put it. I have a friend who heard it last year in one of their programs with Christopher Fritzche in the solo. She said she heard some gasps from the audience. I can believe it, it blows me away every time I hear it. As a rabid Chanticleer fan I could recommend any of their recordings. I have all of them and cherish them all. One release is not listed in Amazon which is all the harder to understand. The "Requiem" by Palestrina. I have always collected requiems since the days of 78's and it is a rich archive of music to explore; most composers have tried their hand at it with sometimes spectacular results employing huge orchestras and choruses and smaller ensembles too. But way back in history was Palestrina with a requiem for twelve or so voices, no accompaniment, just four part singing and to my mind nothing has been done since that is any more profoundly and musically rewarding. Chanticleer recorded it first, and as far as I know exclusively. To hear them do the "Sanctus" from this mass is to penetrate to the very heart of choral music. The word, sanctus, is lofted outward into the silence of eternity over and over creating a mesmerizing effect that only Bach could ever achieve again. As much as I revel in requiems like that by Berlioz or Verdi it is to Palestrina that I return most often.
This same release contains another rarely heard treasure, "The Song of Solomon". If you like Chanticleer I strongly urge you to try this cd. It occupies top spot in my collection of serious music, not just by this group but by anyone.
