This review is from: Westminster Choir at Spoleto Festival U.S.A. (Audio CD)

This is a really wonderful CD of The Westminster Choir. It contains music typical of a Westminster Choir concert program, such as Brahms, some 20th century pieces, spirituals, and folk songs. There is a very warm tone to this CD. I would, however, like to criticize the recording and editing engineers of Gothic. The disc was recorded in a very dry space in Charleston, S.C., and there was no reverb or spaciousness added to the sound at all. Maybe they were going for a more "pure" tone, but I think they could have done more. The recording in general is a little dry.
