5.0 out of 5 stars A wonderful CD---great selection with beautiful singing, April 26, 2000
By Suzanne Amara "stuzle" (MA) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)      
When I first developed an interest in CD recordings of hymns, this was the first CD I bought, and I still number it among my favorites. It includes most of my favorite hymns, and they are sung in a very traditional way---with lots of meaning but without lots of overdone singing drawing attention more to the singer than the words or meaning! I don't know much about the Statler Brothers, who wrote the liner notes, but if this is the kind of music they like, I think I would like them!

4.0 out of 5 stars All Things Wise And Wonderful, June 14, 2001
By David Bradley "David Bradley" (Sterling, VA USA) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
Despite the attempt at a 'just us folks' attitude--the liner notes are written by third-rate country singers the Statler Brothers, for some reason--this is a very English album. Aside from the fact that the choirs are from Cambridge, Paisley Abbey, St. Marks Church North Audley Street, the Royal School of Church Music and others, the inclusion of "All Things Bright And Beautiful" and "Crown Him With Many Crowns" leave the impression of a fine service in an English country church.

I disagree with the assessment that this is somehow a sonically challenged recording. It sounds as if you're in the 12th row of a mid-December service, and that is as it should be.

Hymns played in the traditional way with full choir and organ accompany only. In the style I grew up with.
