What the listener will think of this CD will depend partly on what he or she thinks of Rutter's musical rendition of sentimentalist religion. It's nicely executed here -- as nicely as on Rutter's own recordings with his handpicked choir -- by the Choir of Clare College, Cambridge, under Timothy Brown. And the two outer works on the album are ...
What can anyone add to the praise that has deservedly been heaped on Robert King and the King's Consort's 11 discs of the complete sacred music of Vivaldi? Can one add that every single performance is first class -- wonderfully musical, deeply dedicated, and profoundly spiritual? Can one add that every single performer is first class -- absolutely ...
Robert King may have planned to end his series of recordings of the sacred music of Vivaldi with his grandest and most popular piece of sacred music, the Gloria, RV 589, but he couldn't have planned to end it with Vivaldi's Nisi Dominus, RV 803, because when the series began, the Nisi Dominus had not yet been found hidden among the Galuppi sacred ...

The Bach cantata pilgrimage of conductor John Eliot Gardiner, with his Monteverdi Choir and English Baroque Soloists, began on Christmas of 1999 and continued through the year 2000. At first the musicians retraced some of Bach's steps through northern Germany, then performed in a variety of churches in England and northwestern Europe, matching the ...
