5.0 out of 5 stars Kids' voices definitely make the best music!, November 22, 2000

It is said that human voices are better music compared to any musical instruments, and this CD is the definite proof. With their heavenly voices, the St.Phillips Choir boys brings you to the land of serenity and offers you the peace of mind. This CD features 20 Christmas carols, some very popular, like White Christmas and The First Noel, but some seldom heard, like Saviour's Day and When a Child is Born. New song or not, the choir boys have added an innocent ambience to each song that absolutely touches the listener's heart. Also, some songs have their melodies modified in a way which make them all the more euphonious, like O Little Town of Bethlehem and While Shepherd Watch Their Flocks By Night. Walking in the Air is also an excellent piece, and the instrumental part is positively capable of sending you to tears. Having had so many Christmases and heard so many Christmas songs, many of the traditional ones are becoming banality to me. Angel Voices III, however, offers a brand-new and refreshing experience.

5.0 out of 5 stars Absolutely stunning voices! My favorite Christmas album., December 4, 2000

I just can't get enough of the choirboys from St. Phillips's Church in London! Their new-age album "Libera" and the more traditional "Angel Voices" discs are THE most accessible treble voice recordings on the market. The instrumental backing is very fresh and subtle on Angel Voices III and lets the voices dominate. The music selection is an excellent mix of contemporary and traditional Christmas songs, with some of the classics done to new melodies - "Oh Little Town of Bethlehem" sounding wonderfully new and very beautiful. Most of all, however, the boys' voices are just INCREDIBLE! Some of the best treble singing you will ever hear. Many people are only familiar with boys' choirs from the English cathedrals and the Vienna Boys Choir (although Billy Gilman has shown country music fans how good a boy can sing). Well, Angel Voices takes the sound into the recording studio, freshens the arrangements and the accompaniment, and produces music that will appeal more broadly than the traditional boychoir sound. I bought my copy of this CD from Amazon/UK just two weeks ago, and it's by far my favorite holiday CD. You can find the first two albums on Amazon/UK at a very good price. I recommend starting with Vol II. I've played these albums for family and friends, and they are all totally blown-away by the quality of the singing.

5.0 out of 5 stars Exquisite, beyond 5 stars, December 25, 2004

I am new to the field of treble voices, though they have haunted me through my life. I just rec'd Angel Voices3, and was tearful from the first couple notes. This is what God hears, when God commands music be played. Except for the sparrow and the mourning dove, and the lil canary in the cage, I have not heard a sound like this that could lift me up spiritually and physically with such joy.
This exquisite sound is a peak experience, maybe because it only lasts 3-4-5 years, then it is gone. Liam O'Kane and the other fellows in this incarnation of this troup took me to a place I forgot. That of magic, boy giggling, secrets shared, and wonder, knowing I would never return.
Absolutely ,and untouchably exquisite. Pure magic. Perhaps when Jesus said "Suffer the little children to come unto me", he saw these eyes full of wonder and heard the songs they sung.
I want to know more, and know of no one personally who has been struck by this beauty. Except for buying more and more, perhaps purchasing cast off or less than this perfect a product, I know of no one to point me in the path of more and more and more of this. Am I too effusive? Sorry! There comes a time when the pure human voice outstrips the machinations of product hawkers.
I am so pleased that Angel Voices3 came into my life!
Recommendations? Please, I am open and ready!
