Two thumbs up5
I am in agreement with the first reviewer. I have purchased and enjoyed this CD and their previous offering, Recquiem. When I listened to Requiem, I thought the musical accompaniment was less than satisfactory for such high quality singing and I was also disappointed that there were no songs which showcased the other fine voices so strongly tauted on the cover. Both of these concerns have been amply remedied in this offering. This CD is already one of my favorites. The only complaints I have are that the cover booklet is almost useless, giving very little information about this talented group of boy singers or the music they bring to such vibrant life, and that there are so few CD's from this group available. I eagarly await thier next offering.

OUTSATNDING --- I have been a fan of Boys Choir music for some time now and own some of the best in the world. The tonal quality and harmonics of the young male voice is unmatched for beauty. This album is no exception the performance is breathtaking. It is just stunning!

BUY IT NOW!

For those who really enjoy this, I would recommend the Jeremy Budd in "Hear my Prayer" another outstanding treble voice. In addition, I suggest the British Columbia Boys Choir for your listening pleasure.

Wow. This recording simply knocked me off my feet the first time I heard it. It is a superb example of treble singing. The pieces are very well chosen and arranged. My top favorite is the "O for the wings of a dove" which is surely a classic masterpiece and brings a tear to my eye every time I listen to it. The piece is perfect for showing off the vocal talent of Edward Burrowes and brings out every subtle nuance of his beautiful voice. It simply must be heard, and is quite beyond words. I would even go so far as to say it is a better performance than the highly acclaimed 1923 performance by Ernest Lough and the Temple Church choir.
