Only Men Aloud (aka Cantorion) meets Adiemus! - By: Music Lover London, 31 Aug 2008 
Well done to 'Only Men Aloud' (aka Cantorion) on winning the BBC TV 'Last Choir Standing'! It was great to hear that they had recorded this album under their other group name of 'Cantorion', & what a great album it is! If you love the unique sound of Adiemus & Karl Jenkins, then you'll love this album. Recorded together with the excellent Cory Band - one of the finest brass bandsin Britain - there's so much to enjoy. I loved watching the great 'Cantilena' music video on YouTube too!
Silly Dyslexic me,.... - By: P. Jones, 31 Jan 2008 Picked this up Katherine Jenkins had done a Bryn Terfel-type Welsh Album...put it on when I got home & instead of Miss Jenkin's vocals I was greeted by Brass Band & Choir, arranged by Karl Jenkins!!
I have the Voices of the Valley albums as well, this Karl Jenkins album is far, far better. Myfanwy & Hyfrydol bring a tear to my eye. The arrangements are superb, & it has more of a welsh-feel than the Fron choir
An excellent, even if accidental, purchase. I am delighted with it.
A MUST FOR YOUR COLLECTION - By: TED, 11 Jan 2008 I was lucky a friend let me hear this album he'd been waiting for. I ordered my copy immediately and... wow !! It can only be described as fantastic,awe inspiring. Some of the tunes make my hair stand up & a couple make me cry !! What a treat of a production. Being half Welsh, an ex boy soprano/alto & a Bb/Soprano cornet player adds to the emotion I get from hearing these gems. All tracks are favourites for different reasons but, the best two for me are 1 & 16. Thank you to all who helped to make this album mindblowing !!
Superlatives are Hard to Come By ... - By: All Brass Bands, 18 Dec 2007 This is an amazing album. I have owned it about 3 days now, & it is on my iPhone & iTunes. Absolutely outstanding mix of a wonderful male chorus & one of the world's top brass bands.
As I write this, it is #1 on the UK "Classical" charts -- & for good reason. It is simply rich, full, & dynamic. It may not sell like the latest hip-hop album (I once heard someone say Hip-Hop is to music what Etch-A-Sketch is to art!) but if you are fan of the classical genre & love great -- no exquisite music, this is a must have album.
Fantastic Voices, Fantastic playing, Fantastic Album - By: BM Norbury, 01 Nov 2007 If you're looking for top class musical ability Cantorion & the Cory Band have itin spades. The sound they make & the arrangements by Karl Jenkins are great - how modern male voice & brass music should be. Delilah is a bit cheesy but Cantilena sends shivers down my spine. Great video on You Tube too.
