God Bless America / Mormon Tabernacle Choir Classical Review

Average Rating: (4 out of 5 stars) 4 stars

4 stars Stirring and patriotic music by the Mormon Tabernacle Choir
It's hard to imagine the Mormon Tabernacle Choir giving anything less than a stirring performance, and that is certainly the case with this CD. The selections are rousing and patriotic, and the singing is just great. In some songs, however, the music tends to drown out the voices, and there are some very wide volume fluctuations, so if you are going to play the CD, be prepared to play it loud!
