Customer Reviews

Seamlessness
Absolutely incredible performance. No overdubbing here, friends. With Rutter at the helm, this group plays as if the piece never existed on paper, floating seamlessly through this many metered montage of ethereal aural bliss. Buy this now, strap on your Sennheiser's and prepare for a very serious voyage.

Superb CD
Rutter's Gloria is a superb piece of 20th century music and this recording is crisp and caputes this composer at his best. I'm a singer and our group will perform this work in December. Many in our group have purchased the CD to help learn the music. It's ideal because we hear not only the music but also the spirit that I think Rutter intended.

Simply amazing
If I do make it to heaven, I don't know what it will look like, but I do know what it will sound like - listen to the vocals in the Second Movement: Andante . They are worth the price of the whole CD.......
a miracle, really.
