Free Music Notes for Wake Ev'ry Breath - Music of William Billings
Free Music Review: Worthy of the Critical Acclaim
Hit: 5 Stars
I feel compelled to comment on the negative reviews posted here of this excellent recording. While there may be some lacking in the quality of the actual recording itself (the cover says it was a "live" recording from a concert), the performances are simply wonderful. One should note that the CD was released by New World Records, one of the most discriminating and important labels around. Also, I would refer potential listeners to the "Editorial Reviews" given to the recording, all of them from leading publications including Gramophone Magazine, the American Record Guide, Musical Times, etc. Each points to the high quality of the singing, conducting AND the recording. Not only is the music very well done, there are a number of pieces here that (I'm pretty sure) have never been recorded before, so it's really an invaluable CD. I purchased this when it was first released and it has never failed to move and inspire me, even after many listenings. William Billings was, I truly feel, a great composer, and this recording, along with those by Paul Hillier and some others, is absolutely worthy of his greatness.
