Amazing arrangements
If you've never heard this man's work and you are a choir fan, this is a "must have" item. Some may find the "cluster" voicing somewhat dissonant but I love it! You can just sit back and "bathe" in the splendor of a very good choir performing some...

Luminous works, stellar performances
As a person who has been involved in choral singing for 30+ years, I have a particular fondness for a cappella works. The music of Eric Whitacre is both modern and timeless -- filled with lush harmonies and passages that flow from suspension to...

Beautiful!
I cannot believe this is a University choir! Their rendition of "When David Heard" is so amazing, it brought tears to my eyes. A great buy, Eric Whitacre is simply genius at innovation.

Awesome
Dr. Ronald Staheli and the Brigham Young University Singers are untouchable: definitive versions of Eric Whitacre's choral works 1991-2001 gloriously sung. Moving and heartachingly beautiful. Enough said.

Excellently prepared, emotionally muted
This is a very good recording of the music of Eric Whitacre (much of which is also sublimely recorded by Polyphony on the Hyperion label). You can't go wrong either way, but I'd give the edge to the recording with Polyphony. While BYU is...

"A Little Lower Than the Angels"
"A little lower than the angels" is the only adequate description of the singing of the Brigham Young University Singers under Ronald Staheli, in the Complete A Cappella Works of Eric Whitacre. In 50 years as a choral conductor, clinician,...

A Fantastic Recording of a Promising Young Choral Composer
[4-1/2 stars] I was first introduced to the music of Eric Whitacre by a friend of mine who sang some of his music in her chorale. What I heard I thought was very beautiful, so I went ahead and bought this CD.

Good Blend
If you are trying to decide between this recording and "Cloudburst," pick this one. The female voices do not have that shrieking quality that they do on "Cloudburst" and the soprano soloist from the BYU Singers is fantastic.
