This CD is absolutely beautiful. I can't bear to put it away after the holiday season is over! The voices of the Clare College Singers, accompanied by the orchestra blend together to make a heavenly sound. The songs are so gentle and almost mystical. I discovered John Rutter and the Clare College Singers by listening to the local classical music station, and fell in love with their unique sound. "Shepherds Pipe Carol" is one of my favorites, but all of the songs are wonderful on this CD. I also purchased "The Holly and the Ivy" (also with the Clare choir and John Rutter), and it is beautiful too. 5 stars is not enough. If you enjoy gentle, spiritually uplifting Christmas music, buy this CD. You won't regret it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Early John Rutter, August 23, 2000

By 

Daniel G. Berk (West Bloomfield, Michigan) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Carols From Clare (Audio CD)

This collection first introduced John Rutter to most of us. The recordings were made 30 years ago, when Rutter, in his early 20's, was directing the choir at Clare College. This was a big hit when it was first released on LP. In fact, for the first couple of years, if you didn't buy the LP early in the season, you could forget it. The record store would be sold out

The unique Rutter choral sound was apparent from the first, particularly on his own compositions: Shepherd's Pipe Carol and Nativity Carol. Now, many years and several recordings later, Rutter's work has lost none of its beauty or appeal.

Delicious Rutter carol arrangements with beautiful pure singing by Clare College Singers of Cambridge, England.

I was delighted to find "Carols from Clare" which includes 11 of the 12 recordings of my Capitol International Series LP recording , "Christmas in Cambridge, " featuring the Clare College Singers and Orchestra, Rutter as arranger.NEVER THOUGHT I'D FIND !!! It has been my FAVORITE Christmas holiday recording for 19 years. Only piece missing is "Of the Father's Love Begotten" which I will be searching for, of course, on another Rutter CD.
