Customer Reviews:
Exactly As Promised 
This is exactly what it says….a wonderful collection of great traditional Hymns sung by a traditional church choir. No disappointments. Excellent stuff.
Solid 
The hymns chosen aren’t all the best, meaning it slows down a few times in the long runtime of the CD, but the quality and selection overall are good — I particularly like the closing track, “The Holy City.” If you’re looking for a decent collection of hymns done in the traditional style (organ and choir with some vocal solos), this is a fine choice.

A SOUL-SATISFYING AND JOYFUL LISTENING EXPERIENCE!
Come on now; let’s judge this album on its own merits. Firstly, the Statler Brothers( retired now) have been OUTSTANDING country music performers; far from third-rate!!! I am not a country music fan, but I do know GOOD singing when I hear it!!!!!! Their recommendation of this disc is a compliment to the producers of it, and for the choirs on it. Does it really matter whether they are English, American or from Upper Slobbovia???????
This is an excellent representation of hymns in general; and it is good to hear that some of the more traditional hymns are alive and well. There is no one that performs them better than the British choirs!!!Their hymn tradition goes back for centuries, and many of the hymns we hear today in this country have a direct relationship to that heritage.
A quote from John Rutter (an Americanized Englishman, and director of the Cambridge Singers, from his own album “Sing,ye Heavens”) : “Hymnody is forever changing……the emergence of pop and folk-influenced worship songs and choruses, whose worth time will tell…..Perhaps it is time to reflect on the immense riches of hymnody built up over so many centuries, and to be reminded of them at a time when they are at risk of neglect.”
Therefore, those of you who will, listen to this album with joy and not with the idea of finding something wrong, because you won’t be successful.
