CD Reviews

Simply Sublime!
Toria Burrell | Riverside, IL | 12/13/2006
(5 out of 5 stars)

"OK, this really IS pure, fresh, angelic singing that gives you that "tingle factor"! (I know, it's hard to find that, but this did it for me!)



Simply gorgeous singers, crunchy arrangements, top-notch instrumentalists, fresh sound, well-crafted engineering and production. It's hard not to gush with positive adjectives!



I like the mixture of mainly classical favorites with a few pop, folk and spiritual songs thrown in. I'm a classically trained singer/composer/musician who also loves pop and rock, so I appreciate good quality music of many genres, especially those that integrate different influeces, like this does.



When you play this CD, you will find it hard to do anything but listen in awe - it makes your skin tingle, your soul awaken, your breath deepen! It's better than a shot of...well...you can fill in the blank!



I know all these songs are "popular" classics, so maybe some music snobs won't like the "mainstream"-ness of this. But on the other hand, those who aren't "into" classical music would actually like this (I challenge ANYONE not to like this CD!)



It was fun (and a nice surprise) to hear an arrangement of the British pop artist, Robbie Williams' song, "Angels" on the CD! This was one of Robbie William's big hits that made it across to the USA (I think)...



And what an orgasmic arrangment of "Windmills of your mind" - I love the subtle accordion in this, just tugging further on the heart strings! Wow.



I've heard many different arrangements of the classical songs, "The Flower Duet", Pachelbel's "Canon in D", "Barcarolle", "Cavellera Rusticana", "Ave Verum", "Ave Maria", and Barber's "Agnus Dei", but these really are fresh sounding and stirringly performed. Enough to make even the seasoned classical musican sit up and take notice. And entrancing enough to hook the new-comer to classical music.



I've started playing this CD to my young kids - what a fantastic introduction to classical music for them. (Watch out, it will make them distinguish good quality from cheap imitations!)



Infact, I'm so impressed with this CD, I am now going to buy several copies of it to give to my musician and non-musician friends for Christmas... I'm pretty sure they will all get as much joy from this as I have.



This would also be wonderful for wedding music, or any special occasion. (As well as just lovely for relaxing to at home). Very powerful."
As many stars as there are in the heavens

"If you are even considering buying this CD, do so - you will love it! The beauty of this music, and their voices, is beyond explanation; you must experience it. The choice of songs was wonderful for their talent. This CD is absolutely some of the most lovely music ever recorded."
Just heard them on Classic FM

"It's Saturday here in Chicago. I just heard these girls being interviewed on Classic FM.



They sound like great girls, each already more than a little accomplished. Interspersed in the interview were at least four complete tracks from the CD. Unbelievable sounds, harmonies and individual solo passages. Angelic is a perfect description.



I'm here today to buy it for myself."
