i love classical music and originally got this CD for 'Walking in the Air' but i cant stop playing 'Tears in Heaven' and 'Panis Angelicus'. its great!

I just got the album, and its really nice, though pretty driven to catholic music, so if you don't like that kind of music don't buy it -- it will bore you to death. Also, a warning: DO NOT buy this version of the album, its a ripoff. Instead, buy this one:

The reason? Well, I bought this one and got the other one instead, so I can assure Amazon.com ripped 15 dollars off me (I'm emailing them for a refund immediately, I can have what i received but at least they should take the excess charge).

When it comes to the proper content, here are reviews for some of the songs, and once again I must tell that most, if not all of them are EXTREMELY QUIET, so if you're looking for more upbeat stuff simply do yourself a favour and don't look for it on this album. I've only listened to the album once, so my views might change as the album grows in me.

Ecce Homo - A great song, properly choral. One of the few where the three boys actually sing together.

Tears in Heaven - The most beautiful song in the album, which made me buy it. A must listen.

Do You Hear What I Hear? (Feat. Hayley Westenra) - This is a good one, though I haven't listened to it much. Hayley Westenra is a great addition (Oddly enough when I received this album the package also had hayley's Odyssey).

He Ain't Heavy, He's My Brother - Nice song, really into the quiet side though.

I am a girl that listens to rock music all the time and when i heard them sing 'Tears in Heaven' i fell in love with their voices and i listen to them all the time! Its amazing how pure their voices are especially Ben's voice because i think it is him who can hit all the really high notes!

I really enjoyed listening to these young boys sing such wonderful songs. I have to say Danny boy is my most favorite song that they sing. Tears in heaven is also very good. I would really recommened buying this cd because these boys are truly wonderful singers.

These little boys eleven and twelve years old sing like angels. Aled Jones, (who sang like an angel himself at that age) has done a wonderful job bringing these boys together. Just sit back, close your eyes, forget the world for a while and let this beautiful music touch your spirit. The beautiful opening of the CD with Ecce Homo gives you a taste of what's to come and it never loses its charm. Walking on Air, In Paradisum, Pie Jesu, and Let There Be Peace On Earth. This CD is definitely a MUST if you are a classical music fan. Its quite simply, beautiful.

The music is angelic, the selections wonderfully varied, and the talent outstanding. As pefect a recording of boy "trebles" as one could ask. Highly recommended.

A dear friend told me about these boys and their singing Tears in Heaven...I love this song to begin with, but absolutely fell in love with it after hearing such innocent sweet voices sing it. Pure delight.

Tears in Heaven is beautiful. That's why I originally bought the CD. After watching tons of their videos on YouTube, I decided that it was time to buy their album.

However, I have to admit that I was slightly disapointed. They sing with no feeling! Libera, another classical boy band, sings with such emotion. I love their music. The Choir Boys are perfect with their pitch, and they technically do everything right. However, I think that their success would have been greater if they had sung with more passion.

the buys are one of the best groups i have evered i give them a A++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

I just love this CD because I needed to find a song (Pie Jesu') to play in Church during my mother's first memorial mass and the sound of these young boys it's absolutely angelic. I know my mother would have liked to hear them; Their angel voices filled up the Church in a sublime way. I absolutely loved it; it's also great because it is very relaxing and invites you to open up to a bigger spirituality. It invites you to think.
