This certainly is a desirable compendium of some of the most famous large-scale choral pieces, primarily drawn from Deutsche Grammophon's catalog of operas and oratorios. Among the 30 selections on this two-disc set are choruses from Carmen, Lohengrin, Aida, Madame Butterfly, and Il Trovatore, as well as Messiah, Beethoven's Ninth Symphony, Bach's St. Matthew's Passion, and Verdi's Requiem. --David Vernier

Dies Irae-The Essential Choral Collection Review.......2007-07-07

This 2 disc collection of Choral music is a great introduction to classical music. Many of these selections have been made famous in movies and will be recognizable to even the most casual listener. I bought this album for O Fortuna by Carl Orff, a song that is featured in Excalibur and Jackass: The Movie. The music on these CDs is great. I especially like Symphony No. 9 by Beethoven, Peer Gynt Suite by Grieg, and Requiem by Mozart.

The Greatest Choral Masterpieces.......2005-10-02

This collection is outstanding, featuring the best choral works from operas and oratorios in classical repertoire. It begins with the fiery and intense Dies Irae from Verdi's Requiem. This piece is sublimely performed by the Berlin forces. It's followed by the anthem-like Va Pensiero from Verdi's early opera Nabucco, as conducted by Sinopoli and sounds maravelous. A brief excerpt from Beethoven's Ninth "The Ode to Joy" is a treat. The Coronation Anthem from Zadok The Priest by Handel is well-executed and powerful. The famous Bridal March (better known as "Here Comes The Bride") from Wagner's opera Lohengrin is sumptuous. A lot of this music is grandiose, and all the famous grand choruse from the grand operas like Aida (The Triumphal March scene) and the Inquistion Scene from Don Carlo. What is missing however, and I would have enjoyed, is the wondrous Finale to Wagner's Die Meistersanger which features a great chorus in praise of art. My favorite piece on here is the little known Mass of Saint Cecilia by Charles Gounod. It is absolutely gorgeous and epic sounding. The underrated but great conductor Igor Markevitch conducts. The famous O Fortuna from Orff's Carmina Burana is also on here, not to mention Handel's "Hallelujah" chorus from Messiah and other pieces from Judas Maccabeus. This is a great collection of chorus masterpieces that any fan would appreciate or if you are studying to sing in chorues yourself.

Not that bad... at first.......2005-03-26

There's plenty of free samples to this CD, and I agree that this is a great collection of music. Chances are you won't find a collection of songs, all of them with angelic choirs, as great as this. When I got it I was quite happy with it, but when I heard the same songs done with different conductors I thought to myself: 'Hey, why doesn't it sound like my CD?' It's the quality that I don't like. For example, Dias Irae is a great song, and it sounds pretty good on the CD, but compare it to another version and this one is slower, the chorus is off key, and it doesn't have that intense emotion. Same thing with O Fortuna, it's a great song, but the chorus is just terrible on this CD, the instruments are lacking in emotion: percussion doesn't add that extra 'oomph' to the bass drum, the cymbals don't have enough emphasis, the chorus sounds like they're about to go asleep, and the dynamics between fortissimo and pianissimo have little effort.

I'd recomend this if you have little cash to blow on a lot of good songs, otherwise you might want to search for a bunch of seperate CDs with the same songs.

Gread Idea, Great Performance.......2003-03-03

This CD should move people in a way that few other recordings can. The one word to describe many of the works is "exalted". This is not music for dinner parties but instead should be heard in solitary contemplation of all the great artists and their efforts in creating such an inspiring recording.

Dies Irae.......2000-03-07

I have an extensive CD collection, but since purchasing this CD, it has become my very favorite. This music sent chills down my spine. I felt transported to a different world....What amazing voices! I intend to give this cd as xmas presents to family and friends.

As good as it gets -- in THIS life!.......2006-04-13

Four years ago today (April 12) my Mom died. Dad says she passed out into the next life, listening through headphones on her 'Walkman,' to a tape of her children's choir of forty years earlier, performing (amazingly for mostly 12-year-olds) in four-part harmony, this most famous 'chorus' by Handel.

I'll always be partial to the Mormon Tabernacle Choir's delivery of the "Hallelujah Chorus" -- backed by my favorite orchestra, the Philadelphia Symphony, conducted by Eugene Ormandy. But this version has displaced all others in my heart . . . apart from the choir of young voices that will forever sing, in my mind's ear, the most perfect "Hallelujah."

----

This rendition of Handel's masterwork -- by Robert Shaw's 200 assembled voices, plus the Cleveland Orchestra -- is a brilliantly-engineered recording; with the sort of spatial definition that places the listener right in the midst of the most glorious music this side of heaven.

Equally breathtaking highlights on this CD include "The Creation: The Heavens are Telling," by Haydn, and Mozart's "Lacrimosa." An extravagance of riches!

Oh yes, and the tempo of Handel's masterwork, as conducted by Shaw, seems perfect to my ears . . . which is to say EXACTLY the pace at which our kids' choir of forty years ago was conducted by "Mom" -- Grace Blackburn of Ottawa Canada.

----

On this anniversary of her passing (into a world where we may hope even more celestial music reigns) a friend who sang alongside me in that children's choir -- Brenda Zanin of Ottawa recalls,

"When you are 12 years old, your perspective of grown-ups tends to be pretty narrow.

"To me, Grace Blackburn was the soft-spoken choir director at St. Thomas the Apostle Church, who persisted week-after-week, to teach us Handel's Hallelujah Chorus. We had no written music in our hands. She taught us the high notes and ethereal phrases by rote, in small groups . . . a few bars at a time . . . until we knew it in our sleep.

"We were just kids, so, deprived of proper tenors, she transposed those lines for our higher voices. And it worked. To this day I can sing the entire chorus verbatim - and did so this past Easter in my church choir.

"What a delightful surprise to read (in the Ottawa Citizen newspaper) that all these years later, the recording we were so proud of way back in the early 1960s played softly in Mrs. Blackburn's ears as she passed on.

"And what an eye-opener to discover that this kindly lady had made such significant contributions to the wider community (including a United Nations environmental award).

"I am sure she is enjoying the heavenly music of an infinitely greater chorus, while here below we continue to enjoy the many fruits of the labors from which she now rests."

"symphonic in scale & eternal in their appeal".......2000-12-04

RCA Victor presents Robert Shaw the preeminent choral conductor of our time and The Cleveland Orchestra Chorus in sacred choral works that are symphonic in scale, and eternal in their appeal. Newly remastered with state-of-the-art 24/96 technology, this superb album presents the magic of these performances in the widest range of musical reproduction ever.

If you love the sound of a full chorus, this CD is for you - made up of students, secretaries, teachers, doctors, engineers, mechanic - all races and national origins. They sing for the "love" of it, and when they perform the "MESSIAH:HALLELUJAH CHORUS" by Handel, at that moment when all 200 voices abound you feel the heaven-sent with all it's glory...as in "THE CREATION: THE HEAVENS ARE TELLING" by Haydn, "pure" power and heart-felt emotion as only a large choral gathering can interpret.

It's difficult to imagine - these masterpieces from world renown composers - Brahms, Mozart, Beethoven, Mendelssohn, Schubert and Bach were recorded in 1961, the clarity is astounding...a must have for your ever-growing collection of music that will live on forever and forever - HALLELUJAH!

Religious Hit Parade.......2002-04-08

I was torn between four and five stars for this album. In the end, it got five because of the inclusion of the two wonderful traditional Jewish songs - "Alvinu Malkeinu" and "Tzadik Katamar". They are the highlights of the disc for me (no, I'm not Jewish, but that doesn't matter) - and really, where else are you going to find this kind of music?

This CD serves the same purpose as a sampler disc - enticing the listener to buy the full works - Handel's "Messiah", Pergolesi's "Stabat Mater", Faurè's Requiem Mass, and what have you. Believe it or not, I had never heard any of "Messiah" - not even the Hallelujah Chorus in its entirety - before I purchased this CD. Now I realize what I've been missing and checked it out from the local library. Ditto for the unearthly beauty of Pergolesi's "Stabat Mater" - check out the samples of "Stabat Mater Dolorosa" and "Quae Moerebat" if you don't believe me.

The quality of the performers is excellent, and how can ANYONE pass up that price???? That is what ultimately clinched it at a solid five stars. I consider this CD one of my greatest finds - you will too.

Very uplifting.......2000-05-21

This is a great bargain CD with excerpts from some familiar classics and some lesser known treasures. Many listeners, including myself, will want to own the complete performance of most of these works, but this CD is a good way to hear composers such as Lewandowski and Pergolesi, whose works may not already be a part of your music library. The opening movement of Vivaldi's Gloria as performed by the Atlanta Symphony and Chorus conducted by Robert Shaw is terrific. True to his reputation as one of the greatest choral conductors of all time, everything sounds just right under his baton. The other performances were not as highly distinguished in my humble opinion, but overall most of them were good, and many were excellent. For Handel's Messiah though, I highly recommend Sir Georg Solti conducting the Chicago Symphony and Chorus, starring Kiri Te Kanawa (once you hear the Solti version, most other Messiah performances don't feel as moving). And if you enjoyed this CD, you'll really love Kiri Te Kanawa's Ave Maria album.

Customer Reviews:

It delivers!.......2007-01-10

Naturally, one must posess a predisposition for this music appreciation. That said, when played to restore your inner-energy...it works. The specific selection and sequence provide that balance best meant to reenergize. Normally, I'm not 'that' into this music-presentation. For some reason at the time of perusing, it seemed logical to give it a try. Ultimately, I am very glad that I did...powerful stuff, indeed.

this item IS your money's worth of masterworks.......2006-03-17

this recording is worth the money to buy, especially since it has two c.d.s inside. the songs are indeed fine music, many of the masterworks which you "need" to have. but it is neither the finest recording, nor is it a collection of the finest performances. i am in a near-spectacular choral group which performs these works, and i tend to get overly emotionally involved with grand art. so it is especially helpful, that like the other reviewer said, you can consider playing this through an audio player at your workplace.

Great for the office.......2005-09-24

This stays in my stereo at work, and is perfect for "those days."
These CD's are excellent resources for those who don't realize some of the musical heritage has been lost by the Church and needs to be reclaimed.

Excellent Music.......2005-08-14

This is a very good CD and for those that love the music of the old cathedrals this is the CD you want to have in your collection.

A beautiful variety.......2003-06-10

This has got 2 be 1 of my fav. cd's of all time. The variety & arrangment seems 2 be very well planned. While all of the songs are very beautiful & breathtaking, my 2 favs are the Requiem for My Friend by Preisner & the Dies Irae immediately following it. If you ever run across the Preisner Requiem I would highly recommend that you buy it b/c it is soooo expressive & emotional.

What do you get when you take one of the most beautifull, largest organs of the world, in a place with great acoustics, fill it with the world's best organists?
Exactly! This CD!
The works of Robert Hebble alone are worth buying it. I'm astounded that he is so little known in the world of the organ. His composition "A Symphonie of Light" is such a fantastic work of art, it's serious, complex, it has mystique, it's radiant, exuberant. Well I just love it!
This CD is VERY good, the recording also is pretty good, but you only get a distorted view of distances. That still makes it worthwile!

A must for any organ-collection.......2001-03-08

This is an impeccably recorded CD. Perfect balance of organ and audience applause--there is little indication of it being a LIVE recording, except for the applause. The performances are awesome. Tom Hazleton's theatre-organ influences can be heard in his interpretation of Bach's T & F in d-minor. As flamboyant as Fox himself would have played it. The concert ends with F. Swann playing an emotional Come, Sweet Death with 20 tolls of the great bell (20 years since Fox's death). He then leads the attendees in O God, Our Help in Ages Past. Splendid singing by what must be an audience of musicians, and fantastic hymn-playing as only Swann can do on the great 5-manual Riverside organ--utilizing all of its vast resources in the final 'amen'.

Kimberly Marshall rocks Bach!.......2001-10-04

Professor Kimberly Marshall demonstrates with this recording why she is one of the world's finest interpreters of J.S. Bach's organ music. Professor Marshall's playing is tremendously vibrant throughout the disc, with registration and performance nuances showing how sensitive she is to historical performance practice.
With Bach and the Italian Influence, Professor Marshall has contributed the most compelling performances on record of the F Major and the Dorian toccatas. Her Bach/Vivaldi performance is unparalleled for its vitality and clarity.
Two bonuses on this recording: the famous Stanford University Fisk Organ has never sounded better, with Professor Marshall ingeniously using both of its two temperaments (tuning systems); and Professor Marshall's insightful and accessible liner notes offer a musicological mini-course.
This is a must-have recording for organ-lovers, Bach-lovers, and music-lovers more generally!
