Soviet Army Band & Chorus aren't taking any prisoners!.......2007-05-12

If you enjoy a good stiring martial male chorus then spend some time with these guys. They're all graduates of Soviet musical acadamies and any one of them could have graced the top opera houses of the world. You don't have to know any Russian to appreciate this CD. The songs are glorious (just don't translate them -- machine guns, death to foes, etc.), and will make you want to march on Berlin all over again.

Good music........2007-03-09

I had heard a few songs by the Red Army Choir in the past and happened upon this CD set a while back, I found it to be far better than I had hoped and would reccoment it to anyone who enjoys Russian folk music, choir in general, and cultural items from when Russia was still the Soviet Union.

Magnificent!.......2007-02-27

I'm so glad I stumbled onto this.

Spirited, committed, manly singing. Soul-shaking stuff! The ensemble is incisive; soloists are marvelous. The folk melodies are enchanting. The songs--and the singers--are bound up in the cultural fabric of the Cossacks, Tchaikovsky, Prokofiev, Tolstoy, Dostoevsky...on and on.., Chekhov, Trotsky, Nabakov... This music conveys the great romantic, dignified, boistrous soul of the Russian People. (Loosely speaking. Some members of the chorus were presumably of other nationalities once part of the Soviet Union. And some of the songs are not Russian).

I don't speak Russian, but listening to this makes me wish I did. What a beautiful-sounding language it is.

I loved it!.......2007-02-22

Even though I cannot speak Russian, the quality of this choral group is beyond excellent. Many of these pieces are extremely moving and stirring. The rendering of the Soviet anthem and the song "Let's Go" (V'put) come to my mind. "Let's Go" became a huge hit in Russia when it was featured in a movie about the Great Patriotic War, and indeed, hearing it - you can well imagine ranks upon ranks of hard-eyed, grim-faced Soviet soldiers striding into battle against the Wehrmacht.

The ultimate collection.......2004-06-15

Excellent performance by the choir and the orchestra. The grandeur, the charm, and the romance! Great collection of songs, sure to bring back memories!

I had't heard of him in music till the NPR interview. No matter your previous music loves and interests, give Tommy's gang a listen and then decide. It's got energy, musical intellect, fun and what I call a high listening quotient.... good for many occasions....
You don't have to be a wicked mover on wheels like Tommy to listen -- you can be any age. Listen on line - my bet is you'll not be disappointed and you'll be delighted you followed through on listening to a few clips.

Product Description

Sweet Seraphic Fire brings together two unique bodies of American sacred song: choral compositions from the New England singing-school tradition and the most popular Evangelical Protestant hymn texts in historic American use. In the late eighteenth century the New England singing-school movement produced America's first great sacred-music style, employing several genres of unaccompanied four-part choral compositions with the melody in the lead (tenor) part. The enormous popularity of singing-school music also promoted a canon of hymn texts shared across America's competing Evangelical Protestant denominations. This recording contains neglected masterworks from the New England singing school that also helped to create the American hymn canon. Marking a more recent turn in this process, we have also included some new settings of traditional Evangelical lyrics written by leaders in the revival of singing-school music that has blossomed in the Northeast since 1976. ! Selection of pieces for this recording was determined by correlating "The Norumbega Harmony"--our collection of one hundred six historic New England singing-school compositions and thirty contemporary works in traditional style--with a list of the three hundred most frequently printed hymn texts in America from 1737 to 1960. --Stephen Marini

Fantastic!!!!!!.......2006-03-15

This is a REALLY cool album of shape-note singings, I particurlarly like EVERY STRING AWAKE and ANTHEM FOR EASTER.
Some of the songs are kind of dreary, (Hatfield) but all in all this is COOL!!!

wonderful memories of a great artist.......2005-02-22

I too went to Covenant College with Jennifer, and hearing her amazing music brings back many good memories of hearing her practice and perform live, as well as the Lookout Mtn./Chattanooga region in general. Jen Daniels is a uniquely gifted and naturally talented singer/songrwiter, and an excellent guitarist, who is in my opinion on par with one of my favorite bands, The Innocence Mission. I highly recommend her CDs to anyone who likes good music. As a guitar instructor, it is always a joy to expose students to music they might not otherwise hear, and I had the priveledge of introducing someone to Jennifer's music just this evening, before writing this message. It will be my pleasure to hear her perform one day again, but until then I will buy her live CD as well.

"It's a Good Day to Live!".......2002-10-31

Jennifer Daniels is a gift from some higher place. Her music is light years into the future and yet, haunted by the past. Her words of passion and deeper understandings come straight from some event horizon at the center of her soul. She is one of the most important new artists of our times and her songs have the power to change darkness to light.

Get all of her albums and go see her perform live. She's like a super nova, bursting in our midst! One listen and you'll know why, today "It's a Good Day to Live!" -Peace-

Absolutely Amazing.......2002-09-08

Jennifer Daniels is easily one of the most promising artists on the music scene today. She has a very unique voice that has definite Celtic influences fused with Southern inflections (she's out of Lookout Mtn, TN). It creates a very distinctive and interesting presence that isn't easily matched. She can flat out wear out a guitar as well. I've had the pleasure of seeing her play Eddie's Attic twice and was speechless after each show. She has this magnetic stage presence that draws you into the music and you become enraptured by it. I've only seen a half dozen other performers that present such a compelling stage performance. If you ever get the chance to see her live, reschedule everything else so that you make sure you catch this show. I guarantee you won't be disappointed.

Dive & Fly is a must-have album (along with the equally impressive Fists of Flood). This is one of those rare albums in which you have no throw-away tracks and each thought has relevance. The production work adds more polish than Fists, but doesn't take anything away from the overall experience. Her execution is flawless throughout. Songs range from the uplifting spirit of 'Day to Live' to the quiet elegance of the reflective 'December'. I think the album highlights reside in the tracks December, Babylon, and He Dances. Strangely enough I think her most compelling track to date isn't even a full thought. It's the minute and a half clip that closes 'He Dances'. The pianos sweep in to create this slightly dark, foreboding atmosphere as Jennifer's extremely poignant voice seems to float over the keys repeating, "I'll be free if you try your wildest dreams on me." It strikes its cord with its subtlety and understated nature. In our wildest dreams, we can't hope to find an artist with more natural talent than Mrs. Daniels. There can only be great things to come from her future efforts and I sit dizzy with anticipation awaiting these.

A Must!.......2002-02-10

I went to college with Jennifer Daniels and used to love to sit and listen to her sing in the dorm or down at the cafe in Chattanooga where she sometimes played on weekends. Now I'm so excited to be able to listen to her again! I've heard her compared to Joni Mitchell and I think that there is truth there. She also reminds me somewhat of Dar Williams. Anyhow, she's a beautiful person and a beautifully talented singer. I would highly recommend this album.

Contemporary Russian Orthodoxy.......2005-12-13

This album is for sophisticated listeners who already know their way around Russian music, and specifically around the Russian sacred choral tradition, at least more than just a little. (NOTE: By `sophisticated,' I do not mean to hint that the music on this album is obscure, dissonant, weird, inaccessible, etc. With the exception of Nos. 1 - 4 and 8 - 11, however, these selections are just lesser known - and undeservedly so.) This recording serves as fitting evidence that the Russian Orthodox choral tradition did NOT die when the Bolsheviks seized power in 1917. To the contrary, this tradition was maintained and revived by many of the composers represented on this album. The album's producers thoughtfully begin with some better known selections: a traditional chant, Tchaikovsky, Arkhangel'sky, Chesnokov and Ippolitov-Ivanov. But even in the case of Chesnokov - who makes a fitting bridge between the `choked off' tradition of the Soviet era and the present - the selections include a triptych of para-liturgical choral essays. (His `Angel Cried,' selection No. 10 on this album, is worth the purchase price alone. If you've never heard this work before, prepare to be transfigured!) Recording No. 11, the best known liturgical composition of Ippolitov-Ivanov, represents this choir's final genuflection to the `traditional' Russian sacred choral tradition, and then we're off! Agafonnikov, Lebedev and Kikta are all living composers who continue to make contributions to this genre. The late Alfred Schnittke, better known for his symphonic, operatic and other modern classical (secular) achievements, is also represented here - given possibly more than his fair share on this CD because of name recognition. If anyone who should be here is missing, that would be Georgiy Sviridov, who wrote a number of stunning para-liturgical pieces in the Russian Orthodox style; but Sviridov's choral work is well-represented elsewhere in the Russian Orthodox (and related) discography. I could raise other quibbles, but that would be unfair. Finally, the performers are equal to the music - suffice it to say that this is one of the finest professional choirs in today's Russia. If the Russian Orthodox liturgical tradition speaks to you, and if you've already become acquainted with the big names (Bortnyansky, Tchaikovsky, Rakhmaninov, etc.) then this recording is definitely for you.
