Title: Hard to shed a tear
Review: I was subjected to this recording during a car trip with an older relative. Being a violist myself, I have played the "canon" several times with other strings. In fact, Pachelbel's canon is not a canon at all; just several variations over an obbligato base line.After hearing the "canon" for the umpteenth time, I have found it to be shallow and dull, especially on this recording. The recording is repetitious and utterly dismal. Track 5 I find to be especially abominable; the words over the intrumental music make no sense and are not sung in Pachelbel's language and style; the words are inauthentically sung. This is baroque music, not comtemporary christian. Also, there is not even an original performance with a chamber group or organ. I do not mean to offend anyone's taste in the review, I just wish to point out the characteristics of something that should be left on the shelf.
Is the review positive or negative?
