5.0 out of 5 stars A Beautiful Christmas Gem, November 28, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Dancing Day - Toronto Children's Chorus - John Rutter (Marquis Classics) (Audio CD)

This CD was astoundingly beautiful. I knew I would like it, as I love Rutter's compositions, but I liked it even more than I thought I would.The harpist is probably the best that I have heard-her technique is absolutely brilliant. The Toronto Childrens Chorus has a crystal clear sound that is beautiful-no harsh tones or forcing here. The young soloist is especially nice-not pushed or artificial.This has become a Christmas favorite in just a few days. The young people involved in producing this CD have something to be very proud of. I hope this chorus continues to produce such glorious works for many years!

5.0 out of 5 stars Absolutely wonderful!, December 23, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Dancing Day - Toronto Children's Chorus - John Rutter (Marquis Classics) (Audio CD)

My all-time favorite Christmas CD. The kids in the Toronto Children's Chorus beautifully handle complex music and harmonies, ancient and modern songs, and lyrics in English, Latin, and French. Harp solos layer on more atmosphere. The overall result is rich and gorgeous. The final cut, Twelve Days of Christmas, is a little gimmicky, but what the heck, the kids probably had a blast with it. The rest of the disc is so beautiful it could make you cry.

I won't go into specifics regarding composition, direction, etc. I'll just say this is one of the most gorgeous CDs around. I've had it for years and it remains one of my MOST favorite of Christmas CDs. It's a must for every Christmas music collection.
