Title: A definitive John Rutter collection
Product review: This CD contains superb performances of some of Rutter's most famous anthems and choral works. I have had the privilege of performing nearly all these works with my church choir because our director is something of a Rutter fanatic. I also had the honor of performing some of his major works, notably his Requiem, while in college. Rutter's compositions have modern conventions but are faithful and respectful to traditional styles as well. The Cambridge Singers are, as usual, wonderful. The "Gloria" is superb. Some of the other pieces, like the "Gaelic Blessing" and "For the Beauty of the Earth" are not as "classical" as Rutter's major works, and perhaps a little too fluffy for some, but they are nonethless beautifully performed. Recordings by the Cambridge singers are a treasure to own, whether you are a fan of great choral singing or a singer yourself.
