This is Chanticleer's 25th recording and also marks its 25th anniversary season. The title refers to the group's wide-ranging repertoire; this disc includes Mexican baroque, traditional American songs in various styles and music commissioned by Chanticleer itself. A program that tries to please everybody is bound to disappoint somebody; however, no one could be disappointed by the singing. The sound of these 12 unaccompanied male voices has an unearthly, celestial beauty and purity; their blend is perfect. Though the singers rarely use vibrato, their intonation is impeccable both together and in solos. Their expressive range and stylistic versatility are incredible: they can project tenderness, pleading, and bitter protest and are equally at home in plainchant, Latin hymns, blues, spirituals, shouts and crooning. Among the highlights are the three opening hymns, settings of two poems of Torquato Tasso by William Hawley, commissioned by Chanticleer, which combine 16th- and 20th-century styles, and the two final folksongs, the last with a stride-style piano accompaniment, making a rousing, exuberant ending. The booklet, in three languages, is well laid-out and informative. --Edith Eisler

Customer Reviews:

Amazing, ecclectic album.......2007-07-11

This CD is a great example of Chanticleer's phenomenal versatility, and it has something for everyone to appreciate. The Appalacian twang on the two Billings pieces is a bit much, but otherwise Chanticleer is in top form here and really shows what they are made of. As for the recording itself, something about the micing or acoustics in the recording process causes the countertenors to be just a tad too strong on a few tracks, but it's not a major problem.

To me, the most extraordinary tracks are: The Un-Covered Wagon with it's surreal effects and incredible array of vocal techniques, Willow Weep For Me, Jeanie With The Light Brown Hair (Michael Lichtenauer's solo floats so effortlessly in a mixed vocal register, I have never heard anything like it!), and Whispers.

Warning: This CD Is Addictive.......2006-12-10

I purchased this CD after hearing this magnificent choral group sing "Calling My Children Home" in a recent concert. Written by Doyle Lawson (from the group "Quicksilver"), Charlie Waller and Robert Yates, the song is a standard bluegrass number I had known for years (Emmy Lou Harris for one has recorded it); but I had no idea it had found its way to San Francisco. Chanticleer has made this song their own. I cannot imagine anyone else's version coming close to theirs.

The group sings 17 other songs on this CD, most of them arranged by Joseph Jennings, Chanticleer's music director. Their version of William Billings' "David's Lamentation," a Sacred Harp work, will blow you away. Another favorite of mine is "Wayfaring' Stranger." There are also two Stephen Foster songs included, "Jeanie with the Light Brown Hair" and "Camptown Races" as well as Gershwin and other American composers.

There seems to be no kind of music that this group cannot sing better than most other groups. They remind us that there is no musical instrument more beautiful than the human voice.

This CD should be one for the time capsule.

Well worth buying.......2005-08-16

Chanticleer fans know what to expect in terms of vocal quality, and won't be disappointed. I agree with another reviewer that the Appalachian accent is a little over the top, but I thought the shape-note style was perfect: brilliant sound, but not that nasal.

I enjoyed the many styles of music in this CD, but since I tend to listen to CDs straight through as albums, I found it a little disconcerting to go so suddenly from one style to the next (e.g., Mexican Baroque to shape note).

That being said, everything is splendidly, sensitively performed. The renditions of "Whispers" and "The Un-Covered Wagon" are breathtaking. By all means, buy and enjoy this!

Good variety of American Choral Music.......2005-01-03

This album features a wonderful selection of "American" choral music. I'm not a big fan of the "stylized" singing of the shape-note pieces (with the nasal voices), but that is my only complaint. My favorite piece is Steven Stucky's "Whispers" which is an artfully crafted homage to Orlando Gibbons' "Drop, Drop, Slow Tears" and William Byrd's "Ave Verum Corpus." Joseph Jennings and Chanticleer effectively demonstrate that there is no "defining" American choral music and it is this rich panoply of variety which is so enchanting!

Absolutely wonderful!!.......2003-10-25

This album shows Chanticleer's great talent and it displays they're wonderful voices. I've seen them perform pieces from this album and they do it with such passion. It's wonderful. If you don't get this or any of their albums you truly are missing out!!

Still At Top.......2002-02-12

In what would be the group's last full production pairing with songwriting wizard Leon Sylvers, III, magic instantly sparked gold, and as a result, the Whispers triumphantly soars with yet another blockbuster album including the hits "Tonight," "Keep On Loving Me," "This Time," "Do They Turn You On," "Keep Your Love Around," and the album's essential title track making this disc another one of their best.

Soulful and Silky Classic.......1998-12-30

The Whispers come at you again with a sound that is vibrant but filled with evening light melodies. They take you up with 'keep on lovin me' and mellow you out with 'keep your love around'! Too smooth!

This cd came out during the days of disco. The ballad: "You're number 1" is worth the price of this cd. And please don't forget, "I'm gonna make you my wife" is on this 1979 project. That great song made a comeback in Waiting to Exhale.

The Prominent Five.......2002-02-12

Solar's prominent five alongside production wizard Leon Sylvers, III stayed on top with this phenomenal album. Such breakthrough hits as the funky "In the Raw," "Emergency," and the essential romantic ballad "Say Yes," instantly turned this disc gold. Still, this album is hailed an R&B masterpiece.

When LPs side B makes the difference.............2000-04-01

In the digital era we've lost the fascinating side divisions that affected the old vinyl records. "Love is where you find it" is a marvellous B side LP (talking in CDish I could say: let's buy it.....is worth the effort just to listen once in your life to the last four tracks of this 1981 Scott brothers musical trip). Walter and Wallace, on harmonic textures that taste of jazz, are the state of the art of '80s soul expression. The title track is warm and meaningful surrounding you with sweetness and jazzy refinement. "Small Talking".....a child joke for springtime. "Say Yes": a sexy creature from the pen of another whisper....Nicholas Caldwell.

Scott twins were at their maximum. Don't loose it!

This is as good as anything they've done before or since. It is strong in the spirit of the Whispers' tradition : great singing,great dance numbers, great musicianship,production,arranging, etc. Great,smooth singing; it's what the Whispers do best.

Lori Lieberman: Worth more than just whispers........2006-06-26

I bought "Home of Whispers" on a gamble. I was first introduced to Lori Lieberman 15 years when a coworker loaned me her first album, "Lori Lieberman." I fell in love with Lori's voice from the first moment I heard it, and wondered why I had never heard of her before! I eventually bought that album, and 3 others after that. Even though I had never heard "Home of Whispers," I still loved Lori's voice, and was impressed with all the 5-star ratings, so I figured it was worth the gamble.

Thankfully, I wasn't disappointed. While I wasn't quite as fond of "Simple Things" or "Chain Of Need" as I was some of the other tracks on the album, I still enjoyed the album as a whole immensely. Not only does Lori still have a gorgeous voice as always, but her songs have beautiful melodies and wonderful instrumental arrangements. I especially liked the title track, "Home of Whispers," as well as "Something Of My Own," "These Eyes," "Girl Writing a Letter" and "Roots and Wings." Her style on this album reminds me a little of a cross between Eva Cassidy, Judy Collins and Joni Mitchell. Very beautiful and relaxing. Definitely worth buying.

The Enchantress with the lovely voice...............2006-01-21

In 1974, The lovely lady that I was going with, introduced me to Lori Lieberman, singer-songwriter, her favourite. I have been entranced by her voice, ever since. Her voice can still send shivers down my spine,even with the later releases.

a must-have CD for anyone who loves singer-songwriters.......2004-02-04

In 1995 I was lucky enough to attend a listening party when this artist previewed Home of Whispers. Since then it has remained one of my all time favorite CDs. Her voice is unique among singer song-writers. When it is combined with the wonderful words of her songs and gorgeous melodies, it brings tears to my eyes each time I listen. "Girl Writing a Letter" is fantastic!
