With this disc, Chanticleer, the internationally renowned, all-male 12-voice chamber choir, celebrates its 25th anniversary. Presenting songs from earlier albums plus one not previously recorded, the selection displays the group's remarkable stylistic and linguistic versatility, as well as all the qualities that have made it famous: the impeccable precision and intonation; the pristine tonal purity; the deep, inner expressiveness; the infinitely variable range of colors, textures, dynamics and moods; and the incredible vocal control that allows voices to stand out as well as to blend into a seamless, sonorous whole. Not for nothing has the group been called "an orchestra of voices" with its ability to sound like a big band in chordal passages and to imitate bass pizzicati as well as patter-songs and gospel shouts. The sopranos take off into stratospheric heights with florid coloratura; it is hard to believe that these are male voices. The program ranges from Gregorian chant and liturgical music of the 16th and 17th century, through traditional and jazz-influenced folk songs and spirituals (some in deplorably bad arrangements), to works by contemporary composers. Chanticleer's mostly vibrato-less vocal style still reflects its roots in its original Renaissance repertoire, but the way the singers use their voices in the popular, jazzy songs makes one aware of the evolving kinship between the two traditions. Though primarily an a capella ensemble, Chanticleer is occasionally joined by various instrumental groups, from period instrument orchestras to a jazz trio, and Dawn Upshaw adds her radiant, smiling, unmistakably "real" soprano to a delightful, high-spirited performance of a Spanish Carol. This disc is a fine, varied sampling of Chanticleer's discography and should inspire listeners to search out all the complete albums. --Edith Eisler

My idea of heaven.......2007-02-17

If you liked Norman Luboff's Song's of the Sea's "Shenandoah", the price of this CD is worth it alone. That's why I ordered the CD. I heard Chanticleer's version and immediately ordered it. The rest is just the icing on the cake.

Then there is the one Kiri Tekanawa (sp?) offering, which is the only female voice on the recording.

Wonderful, but not quite the best of I had hoped.......2006-07-18

Some great material truly shines on this album, but I wsih that the group had been a little less populist in their choice of repertoire. There is a little too many arrangements and folk-like material, with the exception of the wonderful "Dulaman", and I would like to have heard some more varied repertoire. That said this is an excellent starting point for this amazing group.

A treasury.......2005-11-06

As you can tell from the samples, the music here is amazing and covers a wide territory. It is less obvious that much of this is available on other CDs. I am confident, for example, that "We Shall Walk Through the Valley In Peace" is the same track that you will find on their phenomenal and highly recommended gospel collection, _Where the Sun Shall Never Go Down_, and I see a number of familiar-looking titles from other CDs. My advice is: if you're looking for a broad sample of the group's repertoire, then you can't go wrong here -- but if you've already got several Chanticleer albums, then you'll want to check your existing collection for potential duplications before buying this 'treasury.'

Chanticleer: A Portrait.......2005-10-26

This is a marvelous singing group of all males with a little addition of Dawn Upshaw on a couple of pieces. They are thourally amazing at what they can sing with Male Voices usually unaccompanied. Obviously they have good strong Contra-Tenors that can manage the high notes without any problems. I would recommend this album to anyone who enjoys vocal music, unaccompanied and like Male Voices

Dulaman.......2007-01-04

I especially liked the songs: Dulaman, Siuil a Ruin, Ma Mhoire, and Jug of Ale, although the other ones were also good. I find Maire Bhrennain's voice soothing as well as haunting despite the transgression of time. I have since listened to other Clannad songs including: Harry's Theme and Newgrange and I find them also very appealing.

Excellent.......2003-07-28

As a child I used to sing the chorus of the song Dulaman whenever my mom played her LP version. I absolutely love this cd; this is Clannad at their best. Two Sisters is a a very popular song...it's just one version out of many different versions about a tale where the oldest sister pushes the youngest sister into the water just because of a man. Lorenna McKennitt has made a a version of this: The Bonny Swans. And after hearing the Two Sisters, Clannad's version is remarkably better. Give this cd a chance, you'll be glad you did.

Excellent.......2003-05-16

I was never much of a fan of Irish traditional/folk music. I mainly liked Clannad for their later, 'new age' music. But I was given this album and, let me tell you, it rocks. The songs feature great musical arrangements, especially "Eirigh Is Cuir...Coiriu," my favorite fast song on the album. It's a really catchy song (I especially love the instrumental-only part of the song) that will get your feet tapping. The album also includes some beautiful, moving ballads, such as "Eirigh Suas a Stoirin," which feels like a soft mist descending and then rising. Those 2 songs alone make the album worth buying, but the other songs are great also. In fact, if I were more of a traditional-music fan to begin with, I would probably give the album 5 stars.

Best.......2002-04-04

My dad got this CD for me for Saint Patrick's Day, and I couldn't pull myself away from it. The music is haunting and beautiful, and though I can't understand the lyrics, the tunes and songs are so pretty you can't help singing (or humming) along.

the essential recording from Clannad's early period.......2002-01-08

Dulaman was the third studio album from Clannad, circa 1976. As with much of their early material, a first airing might convince listeners that they are in the presence of a fairly traditional and pleasant if somewhat unadventurous Irish band. This is a complete delusion. From day one Clannad were much more than this. The jazz and world influences, the use of harp and flute in lieu of the more standard fiddle and accordion, the unique vocal stylings, and the sense of magic and mystery have affected all of Clannad's work to varying degrees, and in these early years took them and their fans where even the modern Celtic bands fear to tread. Maire's vocals had matured considerably by this time as had the accompaniment of her kith and kin. The interpretations are liberal and yet respectful, especially on the stunning title track, the musically cheery but lyrically macabre "Two Sisters", the classic "Siul a Run", the dissonant "Mo Mhaire", and the gorgeous instrumentals "Cumha Eoghain Rua Ui Neill" and "Cucanandy/The Jug of Brown Ale", the latter suite being one of the most spiritually uplifting epilogues imaginable. The production is superb and the acoustic instruments blend into the channels in a gratifying way. Before Clannad were complex, before they influenced Enya and she in turn influenced them, they were deceptively simple, understated, and rock solid, as demonstrated by this timeless work.
