 Sacred, but never stodgySep 15, 2005
By Dr. Emil "Tom" Shuffhausen
With so many "hymns" albums being released these days, you wouldn't think you could find much that would be fresh and original, but this beautiful recording demonstrates that there can be a lot of life left in this genre. The voices, are--of course--in top form. What is so fresh is the obvious feeling and passion that McDermott, Kearns, and Wright bring to each song; and the song selection is generally very inspired.
My favorite song is "How Deep the Father's Love for Us," a relatively new composition that sounds ancient in its richness, depth, poetry, and wisdom, but also entirely vital, thrilling, and reviving in it's content. The classic STUDENT PRINCE song, "I'll Walk With God" is one of many tour-de-force moments that make the listener want to give a standing ovation. "Deus Meus" is beautifully mystical and "Be Thou My Vision" is a sturdy standard that stirs the soul. The intricate vocal interplay of "Lord of the Dance" is dazzling, and is complimented by crystalline strings.
In fact, the instrumentation throughout is exceptional, serving as a perfect, gorgeous bed for the vocals without overwhelming them. This is not only good "Sunday morning music," but it works anytime the listener is in need of a powerful lift.

 The Best So Far...Sep 13, 2005
By Wexford Meg
Just when you think they can't get any better, Anthony, John and Finbar really do. It's SO WONDERFUL to see John back! If you're a new fan or have been one from the beginning, you're simply going to love this album. It's a true masterpiece.

 Okay, but . . .Oct 21, 2005
By J. Head
"Opinionated Brat"
I was not overly impressed with this CD. I felt some of the songs were overwrought and had too much orchestra on them. The best ones were the songs where the focus was on the singers, and not the accompaniment. And I'm really ticked off about Lord of the Dance--they left off the last verse, which I think is the best one in the whole song. I bought this mainly for Be Thou My Vision, Lord of the Dance, Amazing Grace, and Morning has Broken. I just wish the rest of the songs were as good. I would recommend John McDermott's "Great is Thy Faithfullness" over this CD.

Magnificent voices, songs and arrangementsJun 17, 2006
By Anne Rice
"Anne Rice"
This is an extraordinary collection. The songs are irresistible, the voices incredibly powerful and filled with appropriate emotion, and the orchestra is very simply great. You'll want to buy this album for others. Simply beautiful. A pure joy.

Worth the WaitSep 18, 2005
By Irish Admirer
I pre-ordered this album as soon as it was announced that the recording was finished, and it has been hard to wait the intervening months(!) Arriving home late from work and exhausted from a hectic schedule, I immediately pounced on the cd and proceeded to have a soul-feast. "Deus Meus" is one of the most dramatic renderings I have ever heard and is a great beginning to an album created to encourage and uplift weary souls. I enjoy the different styles and approaches of these singers, and their solos are impressive. My favorites are John's "Shelter Me" and "How Deep the Father's Love" along with Anthony's "To Do Thy Will." But the selections they sing together are what make this album extraordinary. Whether singing in passionate unison or intriguing harmony, these great singers give us wonderful examples of sincere, unselfish expressions of life-affecting faith. Their music reflects their desire to share with the audience in what gives the most meaning to our temporal lives. "Be Thou My Vision," "Amazing Grace" and "My Forever Friend" encourage us to reach out to our God. This is more than just another cd; it's a call to experience a higher reality.
