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.

I TAKE THIS WITH ME FREQUENTLY in my car. No words can truly describe this CD. I especially like CD #2. Some of my favorite hymns are on this--FOR ALL THE SAINTS, CHRIST THE LORD IS RISEN TODAY, LET ALL MORTAL FLESH KEEP SILENCE, ABIDE WITH ME among others. This is a must have for any devoted Christian. Buy and enjoy these marvelous hymns that exalt our God and King. Praise His Holy Name!! My name is spelled Marilyn not the one above.

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

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.
