Free Music Review: 50 most terrible hymns
Hit: 1 Stars
We are very disappointed with the quality of the cd's and trashed them. The sound level varied all over the place and made listening very annoying. One cd was defective and would not play. We purchased two albums and both had the varing sound level.Free Music Review: More Than 50 Most Loved Hymns

Beautiful music. So many favorite hymns I remember as a child. Some of the selections were instrumental - I was thinking all selections were choral. However, still a beautiful selection of hymns.Free Music Review: Wonderful hymns, beautifully arranged

In the past five years, there has been a renaissance of interest in some of the old, classical hymns of Christendom, thanks to recent releases by more contempary Christian music "stars." This is a positive trend, as it would be tragic for these great and powerful songs, with their majestic melodies and timeless truths, to be somehow lost in a modernistic tide of trendiness and disposable ditties.
This particular 2-disc collection is a fine and reliable collection of some of the best loved hymns of the ages. The orchestration and choral arrangements are impeccably done, and remain faithful to traditions.
This adherance to tradition will likely make it more popular among those born prior to the "baby boom", as well as to fans of classical music. In other words, this collection, as fine as it is, may not be the best vehicle to introduce the younger generation to the wonder and richness of hymns (making exceptions, of course, for young people who love classical music or have exceptional cultural maturity and intellectual curiosity).
There is nothing to quibble about when it comes to the song selections, which offer surprising variety, from ancient Celtic classics to American spirituals. It's a wonderful overview of some of the most powerful songs ever composed. Best of all, the truth of the lyrics still shine through, even (in some cases) centuries after they were written.
Beautifully done!
Free Music Review: BEAUTIFUL!

I bought this for my mother for her birthday and she can't stop listening to it. There are a number of songs she grew up with that she hasn't heard in years and she couldn't keep that smile off of her face. She had particular hard day and she said that the music is just what the doctor ordered. She needed something uplifting, she got it. If you want something to help make your day feel better, then music like this never fails. Free Music Review: A True Name

These are all the hymns that I have grown up and loved since I was a child. There is not one song passed that I have not enjoyed. This is a great album which I have added to my collection. If you love the old hymns that are slowly being forgotten to the more contemporary! This is a classic for your collection as well.
