This song goes along with "For every Mountain" because during those hard/bad times and situations I wanted to give up, but I then remembered "For every mountain" and instead of having my own pity party I regained my composure and gave thanks.  That's when I realized if you don't have trials, saddness, temptations, etc. you don't have a testimony.

Wow. to the reviewer who called this "well-engineered" I agree and I rank this amongst London's great achievements, up there with Don Carlo (my other favorite), purely from a sound perspective.

The conducting is gorgeous. I can't directly compare to Sinopoli's, the parts of which  have heard, were excellent. But I thought Solti particularly brought out the beauty of vocal ensembles.

Insofar as the soloists I think they are all excellent. The obvious comparison is between Domingo and Kollo. Domingo has the more distinctive italianate voice obviously. But I am not sure that is enough to make him irreplaceable. Those who have heard him know his voice is small scale compared to the way he is recorded in Lohengrin. But Kollo is fine and absolutely without any disqualifying traits like "a beat" or any other nonsense. he is more on the lyrical side of heldentenors but that is all I can say.

Let me clear something up right away.  I am an ATHEIST.  But my lack of belief in God does nothing to diminish my appreciation for this remarkable album.  In fact, maybe mine is the greatest testimonial to this magnificent  piece of artistry.  I've always appreciated Michael W. Smith's music, even  back in the days of Project and The Big Picture.  But this album is more  than special.  That's rare for me to say because I am one of the harshest  critics of music you'll find.  This is CLEARLY one of the 5 best albums  I've EVER heard in ANY GENRE.  And EASILY the best Christian album EVER.  The lyrics are "perfect" and the music is beyond powerful.  Together they form one heck of an amazing album!  Not much else to say  other than you HAVE to buy this album.  Easily worth twice the advertised  price.

Simply superior craftsmanship. Period. By far, the best quality knife I have ever bought, and far less expensive than the more well known German high carbon steel professional quality knives. I loved this knife so much that I immediately looked for other knives manufactured by the same company. Even the packaging is superior.

Hey folks its Vince the radioman , I  have a vast collection of radios and love to do side by side compares and share them with you . ....... a SPARKLING radio . Price , size and performance ---outstanding . First off , I bought the radio to explore the AM capabilities . It is an analog radio which for AM DXing I find to be better than digital . Somehow , the digital tuner cleans up the signal too much and eliminates the far off broadcasts . I was very pleasantly surprised at the selectivity , sensativity and dynamic range . OUTSTANDING ! The WR1 comes with screw terminals for the  AM antenna hookup with a ground ......thats exactly what is needed for DXing  . From my home in NYC ( near the shore on Staten Is. ) I received DW , Radio Japan , Radio Peking , Radio Budpest ..etc with my Terk AM advantage antenna . WHOA! Better than any other radio I have , including the Grundig S350 , the CC radio , Sony SW77  and so on. For FM listeners the sound and bass response are wonderful . In some of the prior reviews Ive read comments about too much bass . I found that it was a bit deep but at times perfect . Compared to the Tivoli the FM reception , sound and bass are about the same . However , the AM is miles beyond . Love it , worth it , BUY IT!! Highly recommended .

It is difficult to fathom that this music was produced in the early 1970's, as it is still more than relevant.  Robert Fripp took the road less traveled and his adventures are otherworldly.  He easily could have attained the popularity and financial heights of Pink Floyd, ELP, and Yes.  The music here is beyond progressive.  It is in a class by itself.  This, my friends, is sheer brilliance.  The audio quality is far superior, than that on the previous box sets.  If you dig the true King, buy this one NOW!

This is a superior product in every respect, and well worth the price (admittedly higher than direct competitors). My purchase replaced an aging Sony model and frankly am sorry that I waited so long. As other reviewers have noted, both sound quality and reception are excellent for this unit. It is on the heavy/bulky side--perhaps a bit much to hang on the showerhead side of some enclosures--but I have it perched on a relatively dry opposite shelf and find myself using it not only first thing in the morning but at other times too. Multiple station pre-sets and an auto shutoff timer are just two of many features I've found extremely helpful. And did I mention the excellent sound quality for such a small unit?  Delivery was prompt and accurate.  If your needs don't demand HD radio, I would rank this as an excellent choice. Nothing short of a five-star rating from me on this purchase.

There are scores of Holst's The Planets out there, and it is always a joy when I find one to add to my honor roll.  This is one, both in terms of interpretation/performance as well as sonics.  Performing is the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra led by James Judd on the Denon label.  This is one of the best!

Mars is absolutely driven with intensity and the climaxes are amazing.  Venus is ethereal with violins never with sweeter tone.  I can't recall the last time I enjoyed Venus as much.  Judd is superb in managing dynamics to sustain interest.  Mercury is fleet-footed.  The high degree of orchestral precision is uncanny.  Orchestra definition is superb throughout the work.  Jupiter is jocular, but I could have used a weightier recording.  I think that the dynamic range is so wide, that to accommodate the climaxes, there is the appearance of lighter weight in other sections.  And the climaxes are almost overwhelming in their sound.  Wow!  Saturn is atmospheric, but too slowly paced.  Uranus is a sonic masterpiece in which the full weight of the orchestra is revealed.  Timpani is very well defined and prominent.  Brass are raspy and have lots of bite.  Woodwinds are clearly heard. The climax near the conclusion is magnificent as well as the conclusion itself.  Neptune is of another world.  The King's College Choir lacks the atmosphere that the vocal cloud requires.

James Judd performs admirably in his role of interpreter and conductor.  This is one of the finer accounts of The Planets available.  The climaxes are as big as any recording I have heard.  I can't say that this is the greatest account around, but it is top shelf.  Highly Recommended!!!

Although Bernstein may be thought of as the premier conductor of Copland's music, these performances under the baton of the conductor himself are far superior in my humble opinion.  In Bernstein's hands, for example, the  hoedown from Rodeo is much too fast, Copland draws the music out and  instead of cowboy music you have a true masterpiece of classical music.  Listen to them consecutively, it is night and day. Same with Fanfare. It's  also tough to beat the magnificent William Warfield's version of the Old  American Songs, next to a version such as Marilyn Horne's, these (no knock  on Ms. Horne) have gravitas and beauty.  The sound quality on this disc,  especially the tracks played by the LSO recorded at Walthamstow, is nothing  short of astonishing, sounding better than the vast majority of modern  digital recordings.  A must.

Far superior than others. Delivery ahead of time.  No need to contact but lots of information if I needed to.  A true class act.

The music is superb. The execution is subjugating. If one likes this kind of music it is worth every penny. I would recommend it without any doubt.

Dear Gustavo, What can I say. Sophisticated. Refined. Grand. This is an incredible arrangement of mastery that is not for everyone, and that's quite allright.
There's an invisible connection floating through the air that grasps parts of your soul while the different feelings of the songs take you through a trip through the sea. Floating, feeling, uniting, absorbing it. This album is just full of poetic greatness. Gracias Gustavo.
