Highest Praise

Editorial Reviews
About the Artist
Singer, songwriter, producer and musician, Gerald Cassanova is one of Central Florida's brightest stars. Since his debut more than twenty five years ago, Cassanova has written, produced and recorded several multi-tune projects, some of them R&B some Gospel. Along with being a talented artist, he has maintained the position of a high school Assistant Principal with the Seminole County Public School System for 14 years.

His first solo album, "Jus' Another Love Affair" released in 1992, netted Cassanova critical R&B reviews throughout the southeast. In 1998 he released his second major project, "Two Faces". This was an innovative mixture of R&B and Contemporary Gospel. This project garnered not only critical acclaim from his R&B contemporaries, but also unprecedented respect from his fellow Christian followers. "A Few Good Men", released in 1996, became Cassanova's first project to sell out as soon as it was released. With such phenomenal success, it is no wonder that his contemporaries have likened Cassanova to a Luther Vandross with a Kurt Franklin attitude.

In spite of the accolades and recognition, Cassanova remains remarkably humble and devoutly Christian. From the many long nights of singing in dimly lit, smoke filled lounges to the bright light and noisy crowded dance floors of night clubs to spirit filled leads in the church choir, the hard work, sacrifices and perseverance has paid off. It was "time well spent". He has become a versatile artist. Cassanova usually travels with a 17 member concert convention band while on the road and performing in concert halls throughout the world, but he is also an acclaimed solo act.

Cassanova's latest project, "Highest Praise" is slated for release in the summer of 2001. This project highlights Cassanova, some of his family members, and a few of his closest friends. It is a collection of songs that reflect Cassanova's religious walk and beautiful demonstration of his spiritual growth through titles like; Merciful Father, Blame it on The Father, Lifted, With Thee In Heaven, Promises, Angels, Club Heaven, Minds Made Up and the title cut Highest Praise.

The road chosen thus far have been a mixed bag of pitfalls and successes but a strong foundation deeply rooted in the church, the unrelenting support of his family and friends has kept Cassanova solidly grounded in reality.

Excellent Intro for Those Not Familiar with the Orchestra.......2003-11-08

The narrator and writer is a great speaker and holds your attention well. He is definitely knowledgeable. He provides musical examples for each point he makes, so you get to "hear" what he just talked about. I'd say the CDs are about 65% music and 35% narration. You'll learn about the range of instruments, some history, different ways to play them, how they sound, and how they are used in the orchestra. This CD set was a great learning experience and is sold at such a low price!

I recommend this CD for those who want to learn about classical music and those who know about it but are interested in learning more about the inner workings of an orchestra. You'll learn much useful information. For instance, the Rite of Spring (with that eerie start) is written for bassoon! I never knew a bassoon could sound like that but now I do.

The one complaint I have is the last CD. This deals with the orchestra. I wanted more of a tour of how the orchestra has been used through history up to the present. Instead, it was a tour of how different groups of instruments sound. I thought it could have been better. The other 6 CDs are excellent.

A Beautiful Collection of Russian Liturgical Music.......2004-04-20

This recording by the Novospassky Monastery Choir contains liturgical music primarily for Easter but contains other prayers and psalms as well. The CD has liner notes but no translation for the music, but for the price, this is not a complaint. The choir is strong and is able to convey both the majesty and beauty of the music.

Once again, Naxos has provided a unique quality musical experience and a budget price.

The Might of the Russian Male Choral Sound.......2005-10-03

Compare These 3.......2004-04-19

"Ikon" sung by the Holst Singers on Hyperion is the middle ground that gives a well balance & beautiful music from an English choir group. If you did not know they were English, you would think of them as Russian. Most songs are Russian classics from Sviridov, Gretchaninov, Kalinnikov, & Tchaikovsky with modern versions from Part, Gorecki, & Nystedt. The highlight is from the female sopranos which give an angelic & awl inspiring spiritual uplift that must not be missed.

"Sacred Treasures" sung by several groups including The Russian State Symphony Cappelle, The Leningrad State Academic Choir, The Bulgarian National Choir, & a few other groups on Hearts of Space give the most authentic Russian that to English ears may sound slow & uneventful. Yet to a person that knows Russian, this CD will cause the most goose bumps due to its rightful intensity with music from Rachmaninov, Bortniansky, Kedrov, Gertchaninov, Tchaikovsky, Christov, Turchaninov, & Lvovski.

"Ancient Echoes" sung by the Chorovaya Akademia on RCA Victor may give the best first impression due to its well made production that will give a serious work out to any professional stereo system, yet with further study will reveal an over dramatized style that may get in the way. Songs from the composers Sheretiev, Nikolsky, Golovanov, Strokin, Bortnyansky, Grechaninov, Riutol, Tchaikovsky, & Chesnokov.

If your into Russian "A Cappella" music, give these 3 CD's a try & decided for yourself.

Quite genuine but lacking in contemplative mellowness.......2004-01-05

The total length of this recording is 63:25 minutes.

Compared with other such cds available on Amazon.com like Sacred Treasures I and II, Ancient Echoes has a more vigorous and folk-song style. I do not want to sound sacrilegious or cynical in the least but many of the chants sound like Red Army songs.

So if you are looking for something virile and robust, something to bolster your resolution for moral rearmament, this is the kind of music that will delight you. If on the other hand you are looking for something tenderly contemplative, buy Sacred Treasures I or II or Rachmaninoff's Vespers by the Robert Shaw Festival Singers.
