Professional Review:
There's very little to say about this recording of ethereally beautifully singing by the 24 young English lads who make up the group Libera. Enormously popular in Asia, the group is part of a parish choir in South London that has been around for many years, with of course, changes in personnel as voices change. There are a couple of pieces here by well-known composers--Pachelbel, Sibelius, Holst, Dvorak--but to their music have been added words and, of course, it's all been "arranged." Texts, translations from Latin, and arrangements as well as original music are by Robert Prizeman, the choir's director, and some of the numbers are accompanied by quiet synthesizers, organ, and/or drums. There is something new-age about this project and some might find the effect syrupy, while others might long for the "real" thing, that is, boys with this talent singing some Renaissance or later music that is not designed simply as balm for the ears. But for what it is--a perfectly pitched choir with some outstanding solo work as well, singing easy-to-listen to short numbers--this is just lovely. --Robert Levine

   Summary: Beautiful
This is a beautiful CD. It has a good mix of different types of music. I would recommend this to anyone who loves boys choir music. Even if you don't like traditional boys choir music, you will probably love this CD.

   Summary: Libera: Angel Voices 2006 CD
In November 2007 thanks to American Public Television, and station WNED in Buffalo, New York we Canadian viewers received our first introduction to the music of Libera. What a wonderful refreshing sound from this group of young lads from south London in England.

This review covers the CD released in 2006 under the EMI Classics label. A visit to Libera's official web site in the U.K. and a link to a video clip released under the EMI Classics label of one of their songs, "Far Away", won me over, for more of their music!! A young Michael Horncastle, sings the solo parts in this particular song, as well as a number of others on the CD. The groups director Robert Prizeman along with Ian Tilley and others have really created something truely great in nuturing these young boys to spend some of their spare time spreading this new age sound! The music is very upbeat, the words very uplifting, you cannot help but fall in love with this CD and long for even more.

I was so impressed, that I ordered the CD Angel Voices The St Philips Boy's Choir 3 first released in 1997, with a wonderful selection of Christmas songs!

The voices of "Angel Voices" are so beautiful and pure that your spirit cannot help but soar with them.

   Summary: Libera: the best boys choir in the world-bar none
Best Christmas gift you can give to others or yourself. The sounds that come out of this CD will make you cry. The title 'Angel Voices' says it all.

 Rating 3   Written on November 4, 2007
   Summary: New agey
Nice boys choir, the kids are quite talented. Pleasant music. Nobody really stands out. I'll still take Jean Baptiste Maunier and "The Chorus"--greater variety of works (especially if you catch one of the European recordings of the group in concert) and a soloist with a voice that will make you cry.
