What a brilliant idea!- By: Four Violets, 02 Feb 2008 I've always enjoyed choral music but never reallly been sure what it was I was listening to, apart from the reallly well known tunes, some of which, shamefully, I recognised from adverts or films. Many well known ones are included here of course, such as "O Fortuna" from Carmina Burana, the "Chorus of the Hebrew Slaves", the "March of the Toreadors" from Carmen; "Ode to Joy", "Zadok the Priest" & of course chunks of "The Messiah".
This double CD with well over 2 hours of music & 33 samples is the perfect way to discover (and put a name to!) other beautiful pieces of music. I was particularly pleased to hear Allegri's "Miserere" which has always sent goose bumps up & down my spine, & the "Humming Chorus" from Madame Butterfly.
I think its incredible value for money with some of the tracks being almost ten minutes long. I'm going to use it as a jumping off place to explore further the music of the composers of my favourite tracks.
