This new release is somewhat mistitled: while most of the pieces are, in fact, from the Renaissance (or early Baroque), there are works here also by Samuel Barber, Poulenc, John Tavener, Bruckne,r and Gorecki. What they all have in common is their beauty and serenity. Perhaps the CDs subtitle, "Music for Inner Peace," also refers to a type of renaissance, i.e., spiritual re-birth: in which case, they're right on the money. The Sixteen, led by Harry Christophers, is one of the greatest proponents of this sort of choral music in the world, and they don't disappoint here: The Allegri "Miserere," with its wickedly beautiful ascent to high C by soprano soloist, is ravishing; Barber's own arrangement of his "Adagio for strings" for chorus (1967) is polyphony at its most "renaissance" without actually being so, and Gorecki's "Totos Tuus" is otherworldly in it mysticism. The selections by Byrd, Tomkins, et al., are, like the others, impeccably performed. Even an early piece by contemporary composer John Tavener, normally the master of excruciatingly pretentiousness, is lovely. This recording is a gem. --Robert Levine

Ethereal Album.......2005-11-09

I heard this album played on my local PBS station one morning and was in immediate love. It's worth every cent you'll pay for it.

Great Music, Fine Performances.......2005-11-02

First off, the title of this album is misleading. Only one of the tracks stems from the high Renaisance. The rest span from the Reformation period to contemporary. All of them are liturgical, all of a certain calm and meditative style--which could be inferred from the subtitle: "Music for Inner Peace."

But those are quibbles. The voices are excellent. The direction impeccable. The recording technique outstanding. And the program--given its self-immposed limitations of peaceful liturgical pieces--is very good. It was a stroke of programming genius to put the "miserere" of Gregorio Allegri (1582-1652) back to back with the "agnus dei" of Samuel Barber (1910-1981). The untrained ear might think the two pieces contemporary, even from the same composer, but for one trained in this genre of music, the differences of nuance are delightful and exhilirating.

I tend to prefer complete works, and listening through this album I sometimes wished for some livelier moments, but those quibbles aside, I am happy to assign a full five stars to this excellent recording. One of the advantages of a potpourri album such as this is that one gets to hear works from composers who might otherwise escape notice.

Music for Inner Peace Indeed!.......2005-08-29

Though there is somewhat of a sameness to the mood of this beautifully performed and recorded album of choral works that span centuries, that uniformity of message is the creative force for this survey of music by various and varied composers. The works were selected to provide a parcel of time away from the noise outside the spirit, a place for meditation and solace so desperately needed today.

Harry Christophers conducts the inordinately talented Sixteen singers with support where indicated from early instruments ensemble, The Symphony of Harmony And Invention, in an organic, crystalline, seamless range of songs from the Renaissance to the present. Works include Monteverdi, Tallis, Byrd, Palestrina, Allegri and travel through time to Bruckner, Poulenc, Taverner, Gorecki, and Barber. Each work is lovingly rendered in perfect intonation and control, setting aside the 'individual' for the sonorous, anonymous, other-worldly sound only found in the great choral works through the ages. Christophers' tempi tend toward the languorous - the 'Agnus Dei' Samuel Barber set to his famous 'Adagio for Strings' has to be the slowest on record! - but this tendency further creates a sense of spaciousness found in the great old cathedrals of Europe.

For quality of sound and polish of performance this recording has already won awards. For the food for the soul that it provides there can be no greater 'award' than successfully fulfilling its promise as being Music for Inner Peace. Highly recommended. Grady Harp, August 05

Too much choral can tire, but it's still good........2005-05-05

If you enjoy choral music this offering of 16 choral arrangements, conducted by Harry Christophers for DECCA won't offend. Indeed, you might find it rather enjoyable. The selections from various composers capture the essence of the Renaissance-Baroque sound as well as any recording I have head. However, it can, like any steady diet of choral, overwhelm and drag one down as much as inspire. That's not a comment on the quality or selection of songs of this CD as much as an observation about the genre itself. So, this CD has its positives and negatives. One minus is the orchestral accompaniment. When used, "The Symphony of Harmony and Invention" tends to be weaker than I would have preferred when listening to this style of music. Sometimes a nice contrast can actually elevate the tone and texture of the human voice -- and when it's missing, its absence is noticed. You will note for example in Monteverdi's "Christie, Adoramus Te" the orchestration is underplayed - subtle, almost not perceptible. This becomes problematic throughout the recording. Some listeners will like it, some won't. One of the features of this CD that I did enjoy was the synopsis of each song that explains its origin and focus. The notations are brief and to the point, but helpful in guiding the listener along from selection to selection. As for mood, well it's hard to pinpoint exactly: these are hymnals meant for a specific place - not necessarily one's automobile or living room, and hence, a listener may find it difficult finding a place or right time in one's home. If, however, you are in the mood for choral music, and you close your eyes and let your senses flow freely while listening, you might just get carried to that proper place and find "Music for Inner Peace" your cup of tea. The selections are thematic and even in moodiness. I recommend it with the reminder that it is a steady diet of solemn choral. It can be both tedious as elevating.

Very relaxing!.......2005-04-27

I downloaded this album from iTunes, and I'm very glad I did. I was looking for some soothing music to play in the background while I try to grade papers, and this one did the trick. My favorite tracks are #2 and #5 -- both are beautiful songs.

If you like vocal music, particularly chamber-type music, then this CD is for you.

a voice teacher and early music fan.......2006-01-09

A Catholic in the Protestant England of Queen Elizabeth had to be careful to keep his head, in every sense of the word. William Byrd, Master of Musicke, succeeded in living to be eighty years old and dying in one piece. By writing for the Protestant Church a Great Service and a Short Service, and for the Papists three masses, besides madrigals, anthems, and hymns,he remained in the good graces of both. Today he is acknowledged as one of the most versitile, original, and creative composers of all time. The Marian Masses that form the contents of this recording include not only the Marian Feasts generally authorised in 1605,but also the Votive Masses associated with the Virgin. A Votive Mass is a Mass offered for a particular intention or purpose, either on behalf of a group of people, or, as in this case, to a saint who was thought to possess special powers of entreaty at the throne of heaven.This recording contains motets for 3 to 5 voices that comprise the entire material for the Marian Masses. However, it's not necessary to get too involved in the structure of the mass but to simply enjoy William Byrd's polyphonic writing. There isn't a church within miles from where I live that sings any of this music at all including the Catholic churchs. That's why we all seek out recordings to satisfy our musical thirst. The singing on this CD is exquisite, the balance always correct and the intensity of devotion always right. And no wonder if you look at the 5 voice choir: Deborah Roberts, David Cordier, Michael Chance, John Mark Ainsley and Michael George. This is acappela singing at its greatest!

Album Description

Florida's DIABOLIC return with a revamped lineup and a new lease on death! In the two years since the release of Vengeance Ascending the band underwent a drastic lineup change that saw three original members leave the fold. The result of this tumultuous period in the band's history can be heard on their new album Infinity Through Purification. Without doubt this is the most evolved and devastatingly brutal DIABOLIC record yet, with complex song structures and blistering tempos that easily put the band in the same league as some of the most established bands in the extreme death metal scene. Recorded this past July with Grammy award winning producer Neil Kernon (Judas Priest, Queensryche, Cannibal Corpse) at Sonic Ranch studios in Tornillo, Texas. Infinity Through Purification perfectly captures the hatred and utter contempt the band feels towards those that pose and stand in their way.

-Fourth full-length release from one of the leading extreme death metal bands in the world!

-Produced by Grammy award winning producer Neil Kernon (Skinless, Exhumed, Cannibal Corpse, etc.). -Mastered at the world famous Morrisound Studios. -An absolute must for death metal fans that like their death metal fast and blistering ala Nile, Krisiun, Morbid Angel, Hate Eternal, Angel Corpse and the like. -DIABOLIC have played hundreds of shows with the likes of Morbid Angel, Cannibal Corpse, Hate Eternal, Behemoth, Destroyer 666, Dying Fetus and tons more.

A new beginning??.......2005-03-29

Not really, seeing as though they broke up around september of last year, but this cd is good, it takes a bit, nut it does grow on you after a while, although some of the songs can drag on forever and seem ot have no end. All in all i like this but i think Subteranneal Magnitude is better, and this album cannot hold a candle to Supreme Evil, in my opinion. But another high point is the inceadible new drummer i mean christ!, does this guy have an extra arm or something, the guy is flawless, and he doesn't use triggers either, i mean listen to his performance and if your jaw doesn't hit the floor then there is something wrong with you.

It's a shame that Diabolic broke up, i can only tell you from experiance that they are one of the most punishing live bands i've ever had the pleasure to witness and will remeber it as long as i live. This is a great final testament, so to speak of diabolics creative edge that had a stranglehold on the death metal world for quite some time.

R.I.P. diabolic, you will be missed

Barbaric Blackened Death Metal From Florida.......2004-12-24

Diabolic has been around for a while spreading their message of brutal blackened death metal to the underground scene. If you like this style of music at all I recommend you get this, because it is the blueprint for the style. Nothing new to find here but they do what they do very well. If you like Diabolic I recommend you also listen to Unholy Ghost, they have old members of Diabolic and they are practically the same band. The vocals are brutal, the lyrics satanic and anti christian, and the music is old school. Elitist metalheads will find plenty to love here.

Very impressive........2004-08-25

One of the best deathmetal albums and the production is realy good too. Been enjoying diabolic's music for quite a while and still hasn't been letdown at all. Truly a masterpiece. I recommend.

contender for best death of year.......2004-01-28

the death metal bar just goes higher every year. aantar was a very good drummer, and even interesting in his one-dimensionality, but the new guy seems to be just the catalyst they needed. even contender with mithras's 2nd, vital remains 'dechristianize', and akercockes latest for death metal cd of the year. cant wait to hear deicides 'scars of the crucifix'.
