This is the one. If you're looking for good old hymns - both vocal and instrumental - done in the classic tradition, this is it. These pieces seem to have all the key vocalist talents, big orchestras, and thousand-voices choirs that make tears flow like spring rain. It is worth more than the price, to have all these on one disc. Inspiration is too small a word to describe what many of these recordings do for me during my prayer time.

I WAS ALITTLE DISAPPOINTED IN THE RECORDING QUALITY OF THIS CD, AS SOME OF THE HYMNNS VERY HARD TO HEAR

I have many CD's of hymns that I listen to when I'm going to sleep at night. This one is not as calming at times as some of the others that I have. Nevertheless, it has many of the "old favorites" and worth buying, just for that reason.
