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!!

The success of the Fron Male Voice Choir's debut album, Voices of the Valley, was so vast ... more
that a follow up was inevitable. Voices of the
Valley Encore is actually much more than a lazy
cash-in from the world's oldest boy-band (ages
range from 16 to 60). Timed to coincide with the
choir's 60th anniversary, the project features
erudite direction from Ann Atkinson and
instrumental accompaniments from Jon Cohen, and
the "boys" once again get to sing their way
through a heady mix of pop standards
("Yesterday"), hymns ("Amazing Grace") and even a
splash of opera ("Chorus of the Hebrew Slaves"
from Verdi's Nabucco). There's also some filmic
material ("Exodus") and a rousing West-End style
finale in the shape of "The Rhythm of Life,"
featuring Michael Ball. It's an encore worthy of
an ovation. --Danny McKenna

transformed into the most unlikely boyband in the
world (or at least oldest - the average age is 60,
the combined age 3974). In fact, their rise from
the fringes to fame is already being primed for a
major movie next year (produced by Zygi Kamasa of
Bend It Like Beckham and Good Night and Good Luck
fame) - but that's another story. First we have
Voices Of The Valley, an album that shows us
precisely why Universal signed a group originally
created to sing goodwill songs to the Welsh
communities during the harsh post-war years.
Comprised of rousing, traditional songs like
"Jerusalem", "Danny Boy" and "Abide With Me", and
interpretations of popular tunes such as the
opener "Sailing", "Unchained Melody" and "You
Raise Me Up", it doesn't take long for the logic
of the enterprise to strike: the beautiful,
graceful sound of 60 men booming joyously through
your speakers and the combination of stirring
vocal prowess and orchestral embellishments - is
truly overwhelming. --Danny McKenna

Voices of the Valley, Fron Male Voice Choir
Review of Voices Of The Valley - Fron Male Voice Choir by red-head

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 ...
...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 Of My Fathers 5) Danny Boy 6) Unchained Melody 7) You Raise Me Up 8) Shenandoah 9) You'll Never Walk Alone 10) All Through ...
