5.0 out of 5 stars A must-have for music lovers, October 12, 2001

By 

Esther Pan (Cape Town, South Africa) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Shine (Audio CD)

Absolutely the best a cappella group in the world! (In my humble opinion.) I've loved Talisman since 1993, and have watched them grow from a talented college group to one of the most decorated and recognized vocal ensembles in the country. They deserve the awards - their consummate musicianship, their soaring harmonies, their clever arrangements and their eclectic, intelligent choice of songs raises them far above the pack. I've seen them sing at the Atlanta Olympics and memorably, in a South African townships - one Xhosa woman grabbed me in amazement and yelled, "They sing Xhosa like Xhosa people!" The real thing. Do yourself a HUGE favor and buy this CD. Buy two, even. You won't regret it for a minute.

5.0 out of 5 stars Outstanding, surprising, thoughtful mix of quality music., September 23, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Shine (Audio CD)

This epic two-disc set is a refreshing mix of exotic, unusual tunes sung in unfamiliar tongues, and great standards expressed in fresh, unique ways. The striking thing about this music is its energy. Every track is sung with a thoughtful enthusiasm which makes it universal. The musicians are talented, and the composition and arrangements are brilliant.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Choral Group That Shines, February 6, 2002

By 

Perry Martin (Cheyenne, WY United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Shine (Audio CD)

I have been involved in choral music all my life and have become super critical of how people abuse their voices. Talisman is a group that deserves the highest praises. Their close harmony and precision, melded with real feeling, make them a pleasure to listen to.
