Music reviews of Unforgettable Sacred Classics
Music Review: An excellent compilation of beautiful choral music
Rating: 5 Stars
This is a really good album as a taster for choral music for those who perhaps are new to the genre.
I will readily admit that I am no classical music expert and so was a little unsure what to choose. I was particularly aiming for an album with Mozart's "Laudate Dominum" on it - a piece that I love - and had already picked up two albums where the soprano on the song was far too warbly. "Sacred", however, seems to have chosen the less warbly/operatic and perhaps purer-sounding singers and it has worked really well for me.
Yes, it's got most of the 'famous' songs that one would expect - "I Know That My Redeemer Liveth" by Handel, the Mozart, Franck's Panis Angelicus and other well-known songs (including the Lloyd's Bank advert song "Zion hört die Wächter singen" by J S Bach) - and there are no great surprises in terms of the way the songs are performed but it's not an album aiming to be different. It's a compilation pure and simple - no two singers are the same, there are choirboys and female and male soloists and others - and is a very good way to get hold of some enjoyable music by different composers to give you an idea where to look if you want to delve further into this genre of music.
