This review is from: Rorem: Works For Choir And Organ (Audio CD)

Upon listening to "Rorem: Music for Choir and Organ", as performed by the incomparable Harvard University Choir, some of the adjectives that come to mind include: "sublime", "poignant", "dilatory", and "fecund".

Having actually performed on this CD, I can vouch, with no lack of certainty, that this is the greatest choral CD ever recorded.

If you buy only one CD this year, let it be "Rorem: Music for Choir and Organ".

One minor criticism, however; I felt that the choir sound could have used a little more liquescence. Notwithstanding, the Harvard University Choir's "Rorem" will surely go down in the annuls of classical musical recordings as one of the finest CDs ever produced.
