Voices Of The Valley Encore - Fron Male Voice Choir (The)

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... Read review

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... Read review

...something new. She met Anne Dudley a classical arranger/producer and learnt new voice techniques, including tips on clarity of delivery and producing a range of notes from a single breath. In my humble opinion, it’s hard to improve on perfection, and that’s what Alison Moyet was attempting to do. ♪♫THE TRACK LISTING♪♫ AND ♪♫THE MUSICALITY OF THE RECORDING♪♫ Before you read on, it is traditional for music reviews to incorporate comments on the instrumental accompanying each track. In this instance, I’m not going to do that because I don’t believe it would add value, and would detract from the over all focus of the album itself – the artist’s Voice – hence the album title. Suffice to say that this is a recording of classical songs accompanied by orchestral instruments... Read review
