CD Reviews

Not your father's Christmas album

lionbacker | Bethel Park, PA United States | 12/03/2002

(5 out of 5 stars)

"This is quite a collection, and a must-have for anyone's collection of holiday music. Stacking a group of CD's on your changer can often yield similar renditions of the same carols. "Cantate Hodie: Sing Forth This Day!" contains some of your old favorites with a new twist, plus some delightful new and unusual pieces that have made me want to play this over and over again. You won't be disappointed with this one!"

Innovative, inspiring, and completely joyous holiday music

lionbacker | 10/31/2002

(5 out of 5 stars)

"Cantate Hodie is a wonderful new CD filled with inspirational and glorious music for the holiday season. The Bach Choir of Pittsburgh and the Pittsburgh Symphony Brass masterfully perform new works by Glenn Rudolph, Steven Paulus, Joseph Wilcox Jenkins, Mack Wilberg, and Keiren MacMillan - works that were commissioned by the Bach Choir and are premiered on this CD. Interspersed with these new pieces are wonderful renditons of the haunting 'In the Bleak Midwinter', 'Silent Night', 'All My Heart This Night Rejoices', and 'Jingle Bells'. The 'Musicological Twelve Days of Christmas' is a delightfully humorous variation from the traditional rendition. This CD is a wonderful treat - new and different - and perfect for Christmas."

Very Disappointing

"I heard the Pittsburgh Brass on Performance Today , plugging this CD, and thought it would be great. I bought it immediately and had it shipped overnight to my Xmas distination. A big waste of money. There are a lot of 'modern' pieces sung loudly by a large choir in unison with music which reminds me of stuff written in Britain after WWII--in minor keys, "important"-sounding."
