Choose Something Like a Star
Great inspiring music. Would recommmend it to those who do not identify much with Robert Frost and his poetry.
Stellar Recording!
This CD is something I have been looking for. I heard some selections and just had to have it! Since I am a fan of Robert Frost, The Mormon Tabernacle Choir and Randall Thompson, listening to it was a profound experience! In short, I LOVED IT!
This will be "The Recording" of Frostiana for many years
I'm a recently born again fan of the MTC, so I had to pick this one up when it came out. I'm familiar with many of the pieces on the CD, so I was rather surprised with the orchestral arrangements that were included. (Frostiana was originally written for piano!) My surprise quickly turned into a wonderful listening experience as Craig Jessop sensitively led the choir through these beautiful standards of choral literature.
There were several places when the sheer size of the choir got in the way of me understanding the text, and there were balance issues with the orchestra and men/women in a few places. I imagine it's to be expected with a group this size, but it was distracting at times.
However, I was delighted to hear some pieces on this CD that I've never heard before. Craig Jessop and the MTC provide us with a wonderful 'greatest hits' of Randall Thompson with this recording. Bravo to the MTC for having the guts to take on such well-loved music. It's sad to me how little it is performed these days. I hope this CD brings all of these works back into high school and college performances.
