Pärt: Miserere/Festina lente/Sarah was Ninety Years Old
This was the first Arvo Part CD I ever bought, and it's still one of the best. Miserere can fairly claim to be one of Part's greatest works: its soundscape is little short of awesome, and occasionally almost terrifying. It is of course also extremely beautiful and serene (especially towards the end). Festina Lente is one of his best short orchestral pieces, and compares favourably to the most well-known... |
CHRISTMAS - THE ALBUM
SLADE / MUD / ABBA / ROY ORBISON
This is probably the best collection available for xmas. Standout tracks are East 17, Pretenders, Pogues, Johnny Mathis, Elvis and Mariah Carey. |
King's Singers Christmas
Having been a King's Singers fan for decades I was happy, but still kind of disappointed, to welcome another Christmas album from the group; this is their third such issue on CD format. Happily, the repertoire does include "novelties" (if this a suitable word for old music) and the songs are well organised. Moreover, the performances are the best so far - the recording line-up (there have been a change... |
Ultra-Lounge: Christmas Cocktails Part Two
Various
This album is great! Possibly a better selection that Volumne 1, though they complement each other very well. Buy both if you like your seasonal lounge slightly skewed. Christmas wouldn't be Christmas without hearing Bob Atcher and the Dining Sisters singing 'Christmas Island' - an absolute tiki classic. On the boring technical side, the digital remastered sound on these and all the Ultra Lounge albums... |
Scottish Christmas Dance Party
Jim Lindsay & His Band
All you need for a fun festive dance party; jigs, reels, strathspeys, waltzes and marches for dancing to, all using Christmas songs and tunes. If you fancy dancing The Black Mountain Reel to Ding Dong Merrily On High, or Postie's Jig to We Three Kings - here's your chance!
1. Christmas Reels (5 x 32)
2. St. Bernard's Waltz
3. Christmas Jigs (4 x 32)
4. Slow Air Strathspey (4 x 32)
5. Christmas... |
The Best Christmas Karaoke Album in the World...Ever
New World Orchestra
A good mix of songs and styles. This is more backing track than Karaoke so it wouldn't be suitable for a complete beginner as it sometimes takes some working out to find out where to sing. The lyrics leaflet is in very tiny print and in blue so not easy to read. The sound is good, though, and matches the original tracks quite well. There is no guide tune given - just the backing vocals (which I like... |
Christmas Dance Party
Jive Bunny & The Mastermixers
For some unknown reason, this album was repackaged two years after it's initial release and entitled "Jive Bunny's Spectacular Christmas Party". Why, is anyone's guess, but please check the track listings if you intend to buy both albums so as not to make the same mistake I did.As for this CD, well, imagine all the top Christmas records from the past thirty years or so and you probably have a good... |
![Weihnachtsoratorium BWV 248 - Christmas Oratorio Part 1 To 6 [1999]](http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51WB6B82CHL._SL75_.jpg)
Weihnachtsoratorium BWV 248 - Christmas Oratorio Part 1 To 6 [1999]
Claron McFadden
Brilliant. Absolutely, stunningly, mind-blowingly brilliant. This was the kick-off concert for the Gardiner Bach cantata pilgrimage of 2000, performed in the Herderkirche, Weimar. I have Gardiner's CD of the Weihnachtsoratorium, which I previously regarded as the best version. Not any more. This knocks spots off it. Soloists (vocal and instrumental), the EBS and of course the marvellous Monteverdis... | |
