The John Rutter Christmas Album ReviewChristus natus est! Exceptional collection of Rutter composed Christmas music plus his arrangements of traditional carols put together in narrative fashion.
Performed by the Cambridge Singers backed by the City of London Sinfonia this is power packed Christmas joy from beginning to end.
All of the Rutter favorites are here in one place. Especially joyous and celebrative CD. Will easily become one of the most played at my household and likely yours too.The John Rutter Christmas Album Overview

Hail Queen of Heaven ReviewA CD by the Cambridge Singers and directed by John Rutter is always an auditory treat, but this one is earth-transfiguring in its beauty. It is divided into four parts based on the liturgical year:
1. Advent to Candlemas
2. Candlemas to Holy Week
3. Easter to the Sunday after Pentecost
4. Trinity to Advent
Each part contains five songs, mostly in Latin. Only a couple songs on the CD are in English, and they are beautiful (particularly: There is no rose of such virtue, a carol from the 15th century). I had to knock off one star for the Magnificat by Giles Swayne -- the obvious African influence of the music, while totally appropriate on another CD, was strangely jarring and inconsistent on this one. But it's easy enough to skip this track, and the CD is such a jewel that it's more than worth its price tag.Hail Queen of Heaven Overview

John Rutter Collection ReviewI love John Rutter's music. Especially the "For the Beauty of the Earth" that is on this CD. Rutter is not the most inventive or varied composer of modern music, but if you have a taste for traditional choral writing with some angelic children's chorus singing, then you will probably share my enjoyment of Rutter's writing. Unfortunately I cannot give this CD 5 stars when it seems there is a drum set tapping annoyingly away on several of the songs. I do not understand this at all and am bothered by it every time I listen to those songs. It's a shame, because otherwise I love the music, and think it is lushly written, and simply but beautifully performed. I would highly suggest listening to sample track 3 before purchasing -- you can hear what sounds like a ride-cymbal right at the very end of the sample. This sound occurs in several of the songs on this recording.John Rutter Collection Overview
