CD Reviews

Marvelous music, marvelous music, mediocre recording.....

Sesquiltera | Xenu City, Teegeeack | 03/09/2004

(5 out of 5 stars)

"Who said America doesn't have a fantastic boy-choir tradition? He should be slapped in the face....First of all, I've always admired Gerre Hancock for his bold music selections. He may be dismissed as a "modernist" by the more conservative choral conducters, but one who has an ear for good music will know what makes an outstanding musical performance. I'm very happy Hancock has decided again to perform something of Ned Rorem, wich suits the sound of the 5th Avenue choir very well. One would also want to mention Hancocks own musical compositions, like Judge Eternal, wich are marvelous work of art! His improvisation on the organ however is a little bit a of a disappointment (what you wouldn't expect of somebody who was a protegé of Jean Langlais for crying out loud). But he makes up for that in other CD's. The last piece on the CD, performed by Peter Stoltzfus (an outstanding young talent) is Rorem's Magnificat from organbook II, an organsolo wich absolutly MINDBLOWING! I would have almost rated this CD 4-stars because of the mediocre (but not bad) recording, but one should hold in mind that the recording opperandi for such a broad space as St.Thomas can be very demanding. Still, an overall must for music, choral and organlovers alike!"
