Excellent
This compilation offers a excellent combination of hymns and welsh folk songs, with brilliant quality sound. Unlike some other Welsh Male voice CD's the singing is not drowned out by an organ or have an underemphasis on one of the parts. Easily the best Welsh male voice I've bought and it has become a much appreciated present to many relatives.
For the Land of Song - buy this one!
At last, a CD of Welsh choral music that really delivers. Now, any collection that starts off with `Land of my fathers' and concludes with `Ar Hyd Y Nos' (`All through the night') and Ivor Emanuel soloing in `My little Welsh home' is bound to raise expectations - and mine were not disappointed.
Not that the 25 selections are all Welsh: there are old favourites like Verdi's `Chorus of the Hebrew Slaves' and his `Anvil Chorus', as well as a rich collections of hymns. And not to forget Sibelius' `Finlandia' theme.... and a beautiful, soft rendering of Malotte's `The Lord's Prayer'. (There's also a politically correct `My old Kentucky home' with no `darkies' - they have become `old folks'.... ach ja!)
My only quibble: the overly heavy accompaniment in the selections where the Bedwas, Trethomas and Machin Band performs: surely there's no need to drown out all the highpoints of, for example, `Land of my fathers', in a clash of cymbals?
