1. Faure: Requiem and other choral music Faure: Requiem and other choral music
by Stephen Varcoe
Price: $17.99

Customer Review:
John Rutter made substantial changes to the previously most-performed version of the Faure Requiem when he recorded this. He went back to the version of 1893 to do so, rather than using the more famous, more heavily orchestrated later version. One difference is that the violins in the Sanctus are... more info

2. Billy Elliot Billy Elliot
by Steve Pearce
Price: $16.99

Customer Review:
Wow, what a musical. This is the best one Elton John has written. The subject, Billy Elliot, learning ballet in a working class English coal mining town is great. The movie was excellent but this sounds so much better. I am only sorry that the musical has not come to Broadway yet. Just wait until it... more info

3. Bryn Terfel - Simple Gifts Bryn Terfel - Simple Gifts
by Simon Keenlyside
Price: $13.99

Customer Review:
Simply superb. I don't know what our local (Wash DC) paper was talking about when they said Deep River was the weakest link. I was enthralled from beginning to end.

4. Russell Watson middot; The Voice Russell Watson · The Voice
by Russell Watson
Price: $18.98

Customer Review:
I'm glad that musical artists besides opera singers are encouraging the art of opera. I also like some of his more upbeat selections as well. In my opinion though, I couldn't listen to his CD for very long. A couple of his arias sounded a bit splatty at times, and back in the throat at others. I... more info

7. Renee and Bryn: Under the Stars Renee and Bryn: Under the Stars
by Renee Fleming
Price: $16.98

Customer Review:
I truly enjoy Terfel's vocal talent and found it to be well suited for this genre. Fleming's impeccable soprano voice is a bit overpowering for this style of music. (I own this CD)

8. Stravinsky:Symphony of Psalms/Mass/Canticum Sacrum Stravinsky:Symphony of Psalms/Mass/Canticum Sacrum
by Stephen Roberts [baritone]
Price: $21.98

Customer Review:
One aspect of the founder of modernism that gets little press is his deep faith rooted in the Russian Orthodox Church. Stravinsky's ballets use the savage irregular rhythms and epigrammatic melodies of Russian folk song. The sacred choral works featured on this disc are "Russian", too, but theirs is... more info
