4.0 out of 5 stars hymns we sang in church, February 16, 2003

By	"vrildox" (Plano, TX United States) - See all my reviews

i grew up in a traditional presbyterian church that had a pipe organ. i wanted a cd of many of the hymns that we sang in church sung by a choir and accompanied by a pipe organ. this cd fulfilled my wishes perfectly. the hymns are performed in a very straight-forward fashion with no show-boating or excess flourishes which is exactly what i wanted. this is not gospel music but what i refer to as liturgical music to indicate that it is religious music but not gospel music. i would give it 5 stars but there is a slight hiss. other than that the recording quality is very good.

5.0 out of 5 stars Inspirational!, October 8, 2004

By	Caroline Campbell "lover of classics" (Memphis, TN) - See all my reviews

Majestic hymns sung with British accents. A great combination! I haven't noticed any objectionable sounds on my copy.

5.0 out of 5 stars Highly recommended!, April 22, 2008

This two disc rendition of church hymns is very well done. The sound quality of the individual presentations is excellent. I wish only that the full lyrics to each hymn were included, but that really is a small oversight.
