Only Men Aloud (Last Choir Standing)

Childrens Toy Shop > Music > Classical
by: Only Men Aloud

November 24, 2008
What a great cd. Only Men Aloud are unique - there are no other choirs around that can show such versality in their singing styles. They are just as comfortable singing pop classics to more traditional songs. I love their arrangements and their range of dynamics is phenomenal. What a pleasant change to be able to understand what they are singing too with such fantastic diction used. I thoroughly recommend this cd - it's great on loud in the car!

Together

Childrens Toy Shop > Music > Classical
by: Salvation Army

November 24, 2008
Hhhmmm - a few negative reviews because this is 1) not completely Christian music or 2) moves away from the tradition of Salvation Army bands and band music or 3) not up to the standard of Army bands and the Staff band specifically.

I'm afraid I can't agree - this is excellent and exactly what the Army should be doing, reaching out to people with something a bit more accessible. Reaching out and providing help and support is the heritage of the Army, after all "Heart to God and hand to man".

Over the last few years the Army and the work it does has become less and less visible, to the point where most people under 30 have no idea who or what the Salvation Army is. As a result this CD is just the sort of marketing ... Read More:

Voices Of The Valley: Home

Childrens Toy Shop > Music > Classical
by: Fron Male Voice Choir

November 10, 2008
Another really great offering from this Welsh Male Voice Choir that compliments the previous two. I thought the mix of "easy listening" and traditional choir pieces really set out the talents of this group. The voices are complimented with some beautiful arrangements and orchestrations to make it 45 minutes of sheer joy.

Incanto

Childrens Toy Shop > Music > Classical
by: Andrea Bocelli

November 03, 2008
This is an outstanding album that finds Bocelli in wonderful voice. There's not a bad track here, with the emphasis on the great Neapolitan canzones. If one discounts Caruso as THE singer of such songs as a native of Naples, they have seldom been sung better. The song selection is excellent, with every one having a high "hummability" factor.
Bocelli appears to be a tenor at the height of his powers. The ending to Funiculi Funicula is breathtaking but a mere precursor to brilliance with the extraordinary D flat that ends Because. The latter is far from a "lounge" song as the Amazon review suggests, having been done by any tenor with his salt from Caruso through Gigli, Lanza and Domingo. I've not yet heard anyone take the final note with such ... Read More:

Some good tracks here by what are essentially amateur choirs - they really can entertain. I LOVE Cry Me A River by Sense of Sound!!!!

A Classic Christmas: the Ultimate Collection of Christmas Classics and Carols

Childrens Toy Shop > Music > Classical

This CD is a delight capturing the sparkle and fun of Xmas. It is light classical music at its very best. I play Troika and I know the festive season has begun.

The Ultimate Collection

Childrens Toy Shop > Music > Classical
by: John Rutter

November 17, 2008
This review only gives 4 stars because most of the tracks have already been included on one or two of Rutter's previous CD's. Having said that, this is the Ultimate Collection, so that is to be expected. So if you have most of the previous releases, there's maybe not much point in buying this, except of completeness, however, if you don't have them, I'd definitely recommend it.

Vivere - Greatest Hits

Childrens Toy Shop > Music > Classical
by: Andrea Bocelli

November 12, 2007
I have this CD on constant repeat! The music is so varied but holds your attention every step of the way. Bocelli's voice is one you just have to fall in love with. His "Romanza" is 1 of my favourites but "Vivo Per Lei" has me hooked also. GET THIS CD!!!!!!
