5.0 out of 5 stars Simply Sublime!, December 12, 2006
By 
This review is from: All Angels (Audio CD)
OK, this really IS pure, fresh, angelic singing that gives you that "tingle factor"! (I know, it's hard to find that, but this did it for me!)

Simply gorgeous singers, crunchy arrangements, top-notch instrumentalists, fresh sound, well-crafted engineering and production. It's hard not to gush with positive adjectives!

I like the mixture of mainly classical favorites with a few pop, folk and spiritual songs thrown in. I'm a classically trained singer/composer/musician who also loves pop and rock, so I appreciate good quality music of many genres, especially those that integrate different influeces, like this does.

When you play this CD, you will find it hard to do anything but listen in awe - it makes your skin tingle, your soul awaken, your breath deepen! It's better than a shot of...well...you can fill in the blank!

I know all these songs are "popular" classics, so maybe some music snobs won't like the "mainstream"-ness of this. But on the other hand, those who aren't "into" classical music would actually like this (I challenge ANYONE not to like this CD!)

It was fun (and a nice surprise) to hear an arrangement of the British pop artist, Robbie Williams' song, "Angels" on the CD! This was one of Robbie William's big hits that made it across to the USA (I think)...

And what an orgasmic arrangment of "Windmills of your mind" - I love the subtle accordion in this, just tugging further on the heart strings! Wow.

I've heard many different arrangements of the classical songs, "The Flower Duet", Pachelbel's "Canon in D", "Barcarolle", "Cavellera Rusticana", "Ave Verum", "Ave Maria", and Barber's "Agnus Dei", but these really are fresh sounding and stirringly performed. Enough to make even the seasoned classical musican sit up and take notice. And entrancing enough to hook the new-comer to classical music.

I've started playing this CD to my young kids - what a fantastic introduction to classical music for them. (Watch out, it will make them distinguish good quality from cheap imitations!)

Infact, I'm so impressed with this CD, I am now going to buy several copies of it to give to my musician and non-musician friends for Christmas... I'm pretty sure they will all get as much joy from this as I have.

This would also be wonderful for wedding music, or any special occasion. (As well as just lovely for relaxing to at home). Very powerful.

This review is from: All Angels (Audio CD)
If you are even considering buying this CD, do so - you will love it! The beauty of this music, and their voices, is beyond explanation; you must experience it. The choice of songs was wonderful for their talent. This CD is absolutely some of the most lovely music ever recorded.

4.0 out of 5 stars Just heard them on Classic FM, December 2, 2006
This review is from: All Angels (Audio CD)
It's Saturday here in Chicago. I just heard these girls being interviewed on Classic FM.

They sound like great girls, each already more than a little accomplished. Interspersed in the interview were at least four complete tracks from the CD. Unbelievable sounds, harmonies and individual solo passages. Angelic is a perfect description.

I'm here today to buy it for myself.

I heard a track from this CD on the radio and knew I had to hear more of this wonderful group so I purchased the CD "All Angels". I have not been disappointed, each track is uplifting and exciting, beautiful and pure. I just love this CD and have since purchased another CD by 'All Angel' as well.

5.0 out of 5 stars SIMPLY SUBLIME, October 26, 2011
This review is from: All Angels (Audio CD)
What a wonderful debut cd, what a very well gifted voices these girls have; I love every song and all the arrangements are exquisite; the classic numbers are beautifully sang with marvelous fourth part harmonies from the bass and high notes creating an excellent balance for all the girls; songs like BARCAROLLE, AVE MARIA, AGNUS DEI and SALVE REGINA are very pleasant and ethereal; I also like the pop numbers which are sung in a very classic (and degightful) style: ANGELS, THE WINDMILLS OF YOUR MIND and SONGBIRD and very well done; and some traditional beautiful Gospel numbers like POKAREKARE ANA, SILENT NIGHT, HOSSANA, AVE VERUM CORPUS and STEAL AWAY; an incredible cd with an unique and exquisite sound!!

I bought this for a birthday present for a friend and she loves it. The girls sing like the Angels they are named for and the selection of music on this CD is wonderful. I would recommend this to anyone wanting to listen to calm and serene music.

5.0 out of 5 stars All Angels is Beautiful, October 4, 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: All Angels (Audio CD)
Such beautiful bell clear voices, & such beautiful arrangements, both vocally & the scoring. Such wonderful mood music. In this hectic world full of chaos & discord, this entire CD transports you to a world of harmonious splendor. If you are a Sarah Brightman & or Il Divo, Josh Groban fan, you'll love All Angels.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of a kind, May 31, 2010

Just Frazzled (From the Shop Around The Corner) - See all my reviews

This review is from: All Angels (Audio CD)
I have spent a couple-a-few years searching for pretty young girls, to be amazed by their voices that is. All Angels is the only group of it's kind that I have found. Choral harmonies. Not just choral, not just harmonies. Classicalized choral music. Whether the song was originally pop, classical or bluegrass. It is All Angels now. I got a funny feeling these girls will be staying on my play often list for a long time. Favorite song (as though possible), The Flower Duet.
