5.0 out of 5 stars Marvelous, January 18, 2007
By 
compassrose (Honolulu, Hawaii) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Lighten our Darkness: Music for the Close of Day - The Cambridge Singers (Audio CD)
This is superb a capella singing. Each note, each syllable, is just right. John Rutter has a genius for writing and, as is the case here, performing religious choral music. The sound is gorgeous. Highest recommendation.

5.0 out of 5 stars ravishing..., July 2, 2007
By 
This review is from: Lighten our Darkness: Music for the Close of Day - The Cambridge Singers (Audio CD)
if this recording is not on your short list of things to hear/do, it should be.
the Byrd setting of "Oh Christ who art our light and day" is one of the loveliest things that I have ever heard.
I play it ever day at the same, appointed hour; so comforting, so beautifully well-sung.
the Compline setting on Disc 2 is pretty memorable, too.
a strong rec.

5.0 out of 5 stars Lighten our darkness CD, October 21, 2007
This review is from: Lighten our Darkness: Music for the Close of Day - The Cambridge Singers (Audio CD)
The singing of John Rutter's choir in Cambridge is fantastic. The quality of the disc is most satisfying. And Amazon's service, as ever, impeccable.
