5.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful!, Dec 10 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Christmas With Chanticleer & D (Audio CD)

As a long-time Chanticleer fan, I was anxious to experience this album. It is truly a wonderful collection of songs. From the classic renditions of familiar Christmas tunes such as "The First Nowell" and "Stille Nacht" to the intricately beautiful arrangements of "Suo G�n" and "Es ist ein' Ros' entsprungen," to upbeat songs such as "Beautiful Star of Bethlehem" and "Noel Nouvelet" -- the men of Chanticleer offer a showcase of their talents with this collection. It will easily become a favorite for those music lovers who appreciate not only the music of the season, but the beauty of the human voice.

This review is from: Christmas With Chanticleer & D (Audio CD)

These are a cappella renditions of songs from a variety of sources; Chanticleer's style gives almost all of them a distinctly medieval feel. Beautiful arrangements, but don't expect to understand all the lyrics, even when you speak the featured language. The faked accents (as on "Beautiful Star of Bethlehem," where I guess they were trying for Ozark mountain hillbilly and wound up with my home dialect) can be moderately annoying.

4.0 out of 5 stars Interesting selections; beautiful singing, Oct 23 2003

Amy Keene "filleirlandaise" (Springfield, MO United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Christmas With Chanticleer & D (Audio CD)

This CD is quite excellent, but I've knocked off one star for a simple reason: Dawn Upshaw. It's not that her voice isn't beautiful, but gee whiz, I wanted to hear Chanticleer! I felt that in the songs she sang, she completely dominated them, so my favorite songs on the CD are the ones which Chanticleer sings without her.

I think my favorite on this CD was "The Huron Carol." I liked it because it is something different from the usual holiday fare (I'm getting awfully bored with most of what choirs usually sing for Christmas) and it expresses a completely different understanding of the miracle of Christ's birth. If you're looking for something new for a jaded Christmas music palate, this is certainly the CD to do it!

5.0 out of 5 stars I love Chanticleer.
Chanticleer did it again. What a wonderful collaboration. Perfect tone, clear vertical structure, and fantastic interpretation of favorite and not-so-well-known pieces. Read more

2.0 out of 5 stars Good sound but poor selections
Technicaly this is an excellent performance, however the choice of selections is doleful and does not bring much Christmas cheer to the listener. Read more
