Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Choral Masterpieces.
Neither work is particularly well known, even among enthusiasts for Vaughan Williams music. Don't let that put you off. Both are original and gripping works and Sancta Civitas is an extraordinary piece unlike any other work I know. It is the work in which the composer found the unique colours and dissonance that would lead to works like Job and the Fourth Symphony and is, perhaps, even finer than those great works. It is certainly original. The only previous recording that came anywhere near to doing the work justice was that conducted by Sir David Willcocks. This new account is in the same class and has the benefit of a superb modern recording that the earlier record cannot match. I genuinely believe that Sancta Civitas is one of Vaughan Williams' ...

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - DON`T MISS THIS MASTERPIECE
THIS UNDERATED CHORAL WORK REALLY (IN CRUDE WORDS) BEAT, MANY XX CENTURY CHORAL MUSIC, LIKE PSALMS SYMPHONY OR CANTATA PROFANA, ETC. TERFEL BREATHS COMPASIOM IN EVERY WORD FOR THOSE WHO DIED IN BATTLE. THE CHORUS AND ORCHESTRAL DISPLAYS A RARE AND UNIQUE COMMITMENT. YOU MIGHT HAVE THIS!



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Astonishing performances of two masterpieces
Whether 'Sancta civitas' or 'Dona nobis pacem' is the greater work is subject to debate. But both receive first-rate recordings on this disc.

Hickox's recording of "Dona nobis pacem" is excellent (I rate it second, just a shade behind the late Robert Shaw's on Telarc); the singing is first-rate throughout, and the finale is a roller coaster of emotions, from fear to joy to quiet dignity. Yvonne Kenny in particular handles her solos effortlessly.

Hickox's 'Sancta' will be, almost without question, the standard for any future recordings of the work. Using all the forces RVW recommended--especially the organ--the net result is incredible: the finale, "Heaven and earth are full of thy glory," is simply overwhelming, an incredible onslaught ...
