With his first single, 1990's "I'd Be Better Off (In a Pine Box)," Doug Stone looked as if he might infuse modern country with a good strain of morose, and slightly gothic, dread. Alas, the Georgian turned out to be a little more than a radio guy--a singles artist with a light baritone and an easygoing delivery--who played to neglected housewives and their fantasies of gallant men who stayed enchanted on the morning after. Several years ago, Stone suffered an inability to sing after a series of heart attacks, strokes, and bypass surgery. He's back in fine form vocally, but as before, he aims no higher with his material than to revive his role as the tender, restless romantic. If "The Heart Holds On," a duet with Leslie Satcher, shows her to be not quite ready for prime time, Stone shines on "Take a Letter, Maria," a remake of R.B. Greaves's 1969 pop hit, and on "A Room Without a View," a lover's self-made prison. --Alanna Nash

A Listening Treat .......2007-03-08
Be Thoy My Vision CD.......2007-02-19

A must for choral music fans.......2006-09-19
An outstanding collection of Rutter's hymns.......2005-11-22
This collection includes many of Rutter's church hymns recorded over a period of 20 years performed by The Cambridge Singers, a group of Brits, that are conducted by the composer. Ergo, these performances must be considered definitive.
Many of Rutter's popular hymns are included here. "O be joyful to the Lord" and "All things bright and beautiful", a popular children's hymn done here by adults, follow "Wings of the morning" on tracks 5-7. Others you may have performed in church represented here are "O clap your hands", "Lord make me an instrument of your peace", "For the beauty of the earth", "Look at the world" and "The Lord bless you and keep you" among the 21 assembled hymns.
While The Cambridge Singers, on their Web site, identify themselves principally as an a capella group, I was pleased when I received this CD to find all the hymns supported by a full orchestra, the esteemed City of London Sinfonia. The renditions are uniformly lovely although some listeners may find the singing a bit on the white side lacking brilliance and individuality. Everything is done in keeping with Rutter's score markings and style.
The recording tends to be a little variable given the 20-plus year difference in performances. The most recent copyright listing is 2003, the same year "Wings of the morning" was published. I don't hear an appreciable difference in that recording than the others but still hear some age in older works.
If you seek a Rutter hymn collection you can't go wrong here. You have wonderful English performers mated to the composer in his more popular works. I'd recommend this without reservation to anyone seeking this collection.

Customer Reviews:
A musical treasure-box.......2006-09-10
The First, Second, Third and Fourth Bookes of Songes, A Musicall Banquet, the keyboard transcriptions, all the lute music, consort music are here and virtually everything else written or supposedly written by John Dowland. Anthony Rooley and The Consort of Musicke perform this music with style and feeling throughout. This 12 CD set is something of a monument to the ensemble - I only wish they'd finished their collection of Monteverdi madrigals, which was equally good (La Venexiana are currently doing a magnificent job of recording all Monteverdi's books of madrigals for the GLOSSA label).
This is an expensive set, however, you will probably never need to buy another John Dowland CD again after buying and listening to this collection.
I bought this CD set on a mild Summer evening of 1998 and listened to it while sitting in my sun room - which a glorious orange sunset in progress, and a glass of wine. It brought back so many memories.
a beautiful journey into melancholy.......2001-06-15
Dowland, a contemporary of Shakespeare, discovered that meditating on a sad theme is, at the same time, a way of discovering a special beauty that we tend to avoid (maybe because of the "tragic" heritage of the Romantics). So, in the end, meditating on sadness is an uplifting experience! This box set is a journey into melancholy that includes songs, chamber music, pieces for lute, some rare sacred music and -as a highlight- Dowland's beautiful collection of seven pieces for viola which he called "Lachrimae" (Tears).

With his first single, 1990's "I'd Be Better Off (In a Pine Box)," Doug Stone looked as if he might infuse modern country with a good strain of morose, and slightly gothic, dread. Alas, the Georgian turned out to be a little more than a radio guy--a singles artist with a light baritone and an easygoing delivery--who played to neglected housewives and their fantasies of gallant men who stayed enchanted on the morning after. Several years ago, Stone suffered an inability to sing after a series of heart attacks, strokes, and bypass surgery. He's back in fine form vocally, but as before, he aims no higher with his material than to revive his role as the tender, restless romantic. If "The Heart Holds On," a duet with Leslie Satcher, shows her to be not quite ready for prime time, Stone shines on "Take a Letter, Maria," a remake of R.B. Greaves's 1969 pop hit, and on "A Room Without a View," a lover's self-made prison. --Alanna NashCustomer Reviews:

Make Up In Love's title track is a heartwarming yarn of enduring optimism in loves ability to conquer poverty. Other highlights include "Surprise" reminding the listener of the fears, joys, twists and turns of a maturing love relationship, "Deeper Than That" celebrating loves inner beauty, and my favorite (co-written by Stone), "A Room Without A View.
Stone shines on every ballad he records - "The Difference Between A Woman and A Man" and "Oh Moon" are two more stellar examples of this. A worthy remake of "Take A Letter Maria" is also included. The only weak offering is "The Heart Holds On," a duet with Leslie Satcher whose voice does not compliment Stone's.

Unfortunately none of these qualities are present in this CD. Sure, there are those ballads and uptempoes but they lack the catchy melodies and the passion. Doug Stone's duet with Leslie Satcher "The Heart Holds On" is a very incoherent song that keeps changing in its melody. The only ballad that is matchable to Stone's previous ballads is "Deeper Than That." A beautiful love song that love is deeper than skin deep. But having heard Shenandoah's version from a few years ago, Stone's version pales in comparison. Somehow his heart is just not in it. He just doesn't convince me that he means it.
"A Room Without A View" verges between the good and acceptable. It is a painful song of heartbreak that is not bad but not good enough compared to song of Stone's earlier ballads (like "Better off in a Pine Box," "Coming in Out of the Rain" etc). The same can be said about the title track.
This CD has its fair share of its uptempoes too. But they are formulaic and easily forgetable. "Letter to Maria" -- his second single from this album -- is just a fast number heavy on the drums. Honestly I cannot remember the melody after many listens. The rest of the uptempoes are just that, forgetable.
It's good that Stone is back but this is a disappointing release. He should spend more time selecting his songs. Although his voice is certainly refreshing to hear and still great!
