Aled Jones
Aled is Aled Jones' first CD for 16 years. It's one thing to make a comeback; it's something else to re-emerge with a completely new voice. After a high-profile career as a young descant, including the hit single "Walking in the Air", Jones left the limelight. His time out included a stint at the Royal Academy of Music developing his baritone voice which is now heard on this his first disc as an adult. The strengths of Jones' treble, notably clarity of words and musical expression, have been preserved in his adult singing voice. The 14 tracks on Aled include folk songs as well as hymns and other religious pieces, a reflection of his "day job" as a Song...

After two of the most riveting thrillers ever set on American soil, the serial-killer Hannibal Lecter faces FBI agent Clarice Starling in Florence. Composer Hans Zimmer, following the success of Gladiator, is swiftly reunited with director Ridley Scott, and takes a very different musical path from Howard Shore's austere score for The Silence of the Lambs. Paying regard to the Viennese setting and Lecter's cultural refinement, Zimmer's music features many classical allusions. There are nods towards Mozart, an off-key, subtly disturbing Blue Danube and darkly beautiful choral passages evoking sacred mass and the Dies Irae. Alongside some particularly lu...

Luminosa is the follow-up to London boys' vocal group Libera's popular 1999 eponymous debut. That album made the pop charts and found the group--they prefer to be called a real boy band rather than a choir--on television with Lesley Garrett. Of the 12 new tracks, half are arrangements of familiar classical melodies. Saint-Saëns' Carnival of the Animals is represented by a mysterious reinterpretation of "Aquarium", rather than "The Swan" suggested by the cover. Of the remaining pieces one is an arrangement of the traditional "Gaudete", and five are new compositions by Libera's director, Robert Prizeman. His "Silencium", a setting of Walter de la Mare'...

Fans of Karl Jenkins' Adiemus albums or of Enya's mix of voice and synth sounds will find much to admire in this recording. On Libera, a boys-voice choir achieves ambient ethereal effects by judicious close-microphone work and liberal use of distant-sounding reverb programmes. The music is all by the choir's director, Robert Prizeman, whose church-music background has served him well--the close-harmonisations are rather graceful and are ably performed by the boys, even in the high ranges in which they are often required to float. The only two pieces not by Prizeman are arrangements of the famous canons by Pachelbel and Tallis, which he cunningly works into t...
