Advantages: Viewing of film not required to fall in love with this music.
Disadvantages: "Vide Cor Meum" far too short.

...modified in several other tracks: Avarice, Firenze di Notte, Virtue and Let My Home Be My Gallows. Not to be ignored are the lovely recitations by Sir Anthony himself in pristine, polished, Shakespearean fashion.

Advantages: Another great CD from Libera
Disadvantages: One or two weaker tracks

...This CD is another good CD by Libera, and in my opinion this one is the best. It is definitely the best one that I have heard. I recently purchased this CD at about £10 or £11 from amazon.co.uk and have thoroughly enjoyed listening to the CD. The CD contains 13 great tracks. These include the amazing tracks like: Locus Iste (based on Pachelbels Canon and contains the amazing Sanctus sung by them) Prayer Wings of a Dove (not the traditional version - a much better new version) New Day We are the Lost (based on the poem about Flanders Fields) Sing for Ever Abide with Me (a stunning version of this well known and well loved hmyn) Also there are other good tracks like: Sempiterna Always with you Ave Maria Something sings These tracks being really good also are just slightly less good than those ones mentioned above...
