Title: The ultimate compilation of Rutter's best choral music
Product review: Much has been said of John Rutter's ability to bring out the best in his choirs..."Gloria" is no exception. All three movements of the title piece are splendidly performed by the Cambridge Singers, soundly accompanied by a world-class brass choir and organ. A perfect integration of instrument and voice highlights one of Rutter's best sacred works yet, as the composer combines both the reverence and the joy one experiences with the spiritual. Filling out the program is a wide variety of Rutter's single anthems, from the joyous "Praise Ye The Lord" and "All Things Bright and Beautiful", to the haunting but beautiful arrangement of "God Be In My Head", based on the 150th Psalm, and his arrangement of "The Lord Is My Shepherd", a piece originally released as the centerpiece of his "Requiem". A wonderful album, "Gloria" will stir the soul and warm the heart.
