5.0 out of 5 stars In The Beginning
Having sung In the Beginning with my choir, I was desperate to get a good recording of this piece. The one on this CD is fantastic- it really brings out the feelings of the piece. The Barber Agnus Dei is also very moving- this cd constantly lives in my stereo!

3.0 out of 5 stars Correct, but lacks sparkle.
After listening this disc we can say "It's ok". Every song is sung in a exact pitch and clear beat in every part, and is conducted in a correct tempo, but alas, it lacks sparkle. And this is crucial! Just listene to the "Agnus Dei" of Barber here, It is so rigid and constrained, even sound a bit wooden. It happens in Bernstein's Chichester Psalms...

For many, this will be unexpected. But its rousing, dramatic stuff here. Well sung with perfect diction and control.

This review is from: Bernstein: Chichester Psalms; Copland: In the Beginning; Barber: Agnus Dei (Audio CD)
After listening this disc we can say "It's ok". Every song is sung in a exact pitch and clear beat in every part, and is conducted in a correct tempo, but alas, it lacks sparkle. And this is crucial! Just listene to the "Agnus Dei" of Barber here, It is so rigid and constrained, even sound a bit wooden. It happens in Bernstein's Chichester Psalms too. This is a good disk for students major in conducting. He can learn from here how to make every part of a chorus sound clear. But never try to learn any interpretation about music here.
