5.0 out of 5 stars The ultimate compilation of Rutter's best choral music, October 15, 1998
This review is from: Gloria: The Sacred Music of John Rutter (Audio CD)
Much has been said of John Rutter's ability to bring out the best in his choirs..."Gloria" is no exception. All three movements of the title piece are splendidly performed by the Cambridge Singers, soundly accompanied by a world-class brass choir and organ. A perfect integration of instrument and voice highlights one of Rutter's best sacred works yet, as the composer combines both the reverence and the joy one experiences with the spiritual. Filling out the program is a wide variety of Rutter's single anthems, from the joyous "Praise Ye The Lord" and "All Things Bright and Beautiful", to the haunting but beautiful arrangement of "God Be In My Head", based on the 150th Psalm, and his arrangement of "The Lord Is My Shepherd", a piece originally released as the centerpiece of his "Requiem". A wonderful album, "Gloria" will stir the soul and warm the heart.

5.0 out of 5 stars The most beautiful music ever created, August 3, 1999
This review is from: Gloria: The Sacred Music of John Rutter (Audio CD)
I believe John Rutter has captured the essence of God's beauty and grace. The musical progressions coupled with the text offer the listener a pleasing sound to the ear and a moving spiritual experience in the heart. The "Gloria" CD contains a wonderful sample of a genious composer!

5.0 out of 5 stars Gloria: The Sacred Music of John Rutter, October 23, 2003
By 
Robert V. Ely, III (Tucson, AZ United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Gloria: The Sacred Music of John Rutter (Audio CD)
The name John Rutter is synonymous with beautiful choral music and this album is a perfect example of that beauty. With the rich vocals of the Cambridge Singers and the elegance of Rutter's compositions, this album will bring joy to all who love fine choral music. It includes past favorites like For The Beauty of the Earth as well as his masterful composition Gloria in three wonderful movements.
