This review is from: Angels of Ecstasy / Heppner, Kasarova, Ozawa, Davis, Sweet (Audio CD)

A splendid collection of orchestral religious music. Soothing, exquisite, and an excellent cross section. Brahms, Lloyd-Weber, Mascagni, Faure and many others with pieces selected for beautiful contemplative listening. A perfect musical elegy for rainy wintry days, lined with the glow of spiritual peace and hope. A gem of a CD - every friend of mine who has heard this CD wants it.
