Be Thou My Vision - Sacred Music by John Rutter Reviews

These are all Rutter-composed pieces, directed by Rutter himself. If you have any interest in religious choral music at all, you must get this album! One of the highlights of my musical life was attending a concert of a University of Maryland choir in which my mom sang, that featured Rutter as a guest conductor. Listening to this album is almost as good! ;-) There are too many good pieces to start naming all of my favorites, but these are some of the best known ones: "Open Thou Mine Eyes", "A Gaelic Blessing", "All Things Bright and Beautiful", "As the Bridegroom to His Chosen", "For the Beauty of the Earth", and "The Lord Bless You and Keep You". 6 of 6 people found the following review helpful By Mary Elizabeth (Cape Cod) - See all my reviews This review is from: Be Thou My Vision - Sacred Music by John Rutter (Audio CD) What a delight to listen to this collection of pure Rutter !
