5.0 out of 5 stars A Choral Classic......, January 30, 2004

By 

soprani (United Kingdom) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Choir (1995 Masterpiece Theatre Television Mini-Series) (Audio CD)

Choral music at its best. Bright, sharp, uplifting....Anthony way the solo treble, matured as a chorister rather earlier than most, as he was only aged about 11 when this lovely recording was made.
His Panis Angelicus is certainly one of the most gentle and enjoyable I've personally bought by a young male artist. Superior to Charlotte Churche's recording of the same song, also made when she was about the same age, although both are sweet and ethereal.
All the choir in this wonderful musical accompianiament to the absorbing tv adaptation of the same name, perform to perfection and I'd highly recommend The Choir to any fans of classic choral music.

I fell in love with this music while watching the Masterpiece Theatre production of 'The Choir' back in 1995. Anthony Way is simply incredible; not only as a singer but as an actor in this his debut role. Sad to say the DVD of the mini-series is next to impossible to find, but thank heavens the CD is still around. I recomend this soundtrack to anyone who loves great choral music. Buy it now while it is still available!
