Wonderful recording!,
By
This review is from: Healey Willan: In the Heavenly Kingdom (Audio CD)
This is a wonderful recording! Healey Willan was a Canadian organist (Anglican) and composer of music for the church. His music is not particularly virtuosic or complex; it is music to be used in the context of worship for ennobling the soul, illumining scripture and edifying the listener. My favorite piece here is the gorgeous "Rise up, my Love". It never ceases to affect me no matter how many times I hear it.The Elora Festival Singers, based in Canada, is a superb choir. Their conductor, Noel Edison, is first-rate. The only fault I can find is that the cathedral acoustic blurs the choral sound a bit more than I like. I doubt that you will find this music performed better than it is on this recording. Add in Naxos' low price and the disk is a must have for choral music lovers. Highly recommended. Note added July 30, 2008: I just got around to reading the Jan/Feb 2007 American Record Guide where this recording is listed as one of the best recordings released in 2006.

This review is from: Healey Willan: In the Heavenly Kingdom (Audio CD)
This is a well-sung recording of Healey Willan compositions. Willan is typically Anglican in his compositions and at his best. I was happy to hear such a variety of anthemns. As a church musician, I appreciate how well he composes for the average choir. But of course the recording was with a professional choir to show-case his beautiful music. I was very happy with this CD. I used it to enjoy myself but to let my choir director hear some anthems that would be useful in our church.

This review is from: Healey Willan: In the Heavenly Kingdom (Audio CD)
This is a great disc of choral music from one of Canada's finest composers of choral music. Totally worth checking out. He was a colleague of Robert Hunter Bell who I once worked with. Dr. Bell spoke of him often, and this led me to check out these works. I am so glad that I did.
