...When I say that my grandmother's maiden name was Davies, and that she was the last person in the family who had any understanding of the Welsh language, you will probably understand why I love Welsh choral music so much. Well, apart from the fact that Wales is truly the land of song, with the best history of choral music in the entire world., that is!
This CD (produced by EMI and Music for Pleasure) has a wide range of Welsh Male voice Choirs from all over Wales. The competition between the different choirs and indeed the different parts of Wales are fiercely competitive. But the strong, intense rivalry is always friendly. Well, MOST of the time, that is!
The songs on this CD (I am ,of course, listening to it as I write this review!) are all perfectly sung and perfectly accompanied, as the producers have chosen the cream of Welsh...

Advantages: Excellent Choice of Songs Disadvantages: None
...This CD is excellent. I have always been a fan of Male Voice choirs (not just because I'm welsh) because the overall harmony is gorgeous!! I saw this CD advertised recently on the TV and my parents bought it for me. I was not disappointed. There is an excellent selection on traditional welsh ballads with past pop hits etc. People often mistake Male Voice Choirs as just a 'Welsh Thing' that they won't nessarily enjoy, I think they would be pleasently suprised if they bought it.
Being the age of 20, not many of the younger generation appreciate music different to hip-pop, punk-rock or rap but as I was brought up surrounded by jazz, classical, brass etc, I have a much wider taste, thankfully. This is a CD that I play quite often and enjoy every time.
The Tracks on this CD:
1) Sailing
2) Abide With Me
3) Jerusalem
4) Land...

Advantages: Beautiful Music Disadvantages: Hard to find copies
...If you like male voice choirs, you will love this album!
Its rather hard to find a copy, but occasionally one turns up in the form of cassette, record, or very rarely, cd.
Released in the Early 90\'s this is by Far Llanelli Male Voice\'s best allbum, and one cant help but be captivated by the power of the Welsh voices as they sing with heartfelt passion.
This Album has some time old classics on it, like Pie Jesu, and the Volga boat song, but it also has some hits from the 80\'s like any dream will do, although it doesnt make it any more cool, and at the time, Im sure many would have prefered Jason Donovans rendition, Llanell Male Voice Choir (Cor Meibion) take it on, and do it well.
The choir still performs today, but many , men from this recording will have undoubtedly have passed on, most of their work has been spectacular...
