One of the hits of the first album was John Cameron's arrangement of Elgar's \"Nimrod\", using the words of the Lux Aeterna. Here he really rolls his sleeves up, and similarly tackles the Albinoni\/Giazzoto Adagio (using the words of The Beatitudes) and the Intermezzo from Bizet's second\nL'Arlésienne Suite (using the text of the Agnus Dei). The role of the orchestra (the excellent ensemble Capricorn) has been expanded, and Edward Higginbottom himself has arranged a delicious string septet accompaniment to Brahms'\nGeistliches Lied. Much of the music is of the kind that the choir obviously eats for breakfast--which is not to say that they ever sound bland or tired, just at home. The one weak track is Monteverdi's\nBeatus Vir, which needs voices of more sophistication and agility than the boys can provide. That aside, this is another album which should do their reputation no harm. --\nWarwick Thompson\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eUPC:\u003c\/b\u003e 639842165921\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEAN:\u003c\/b\u003e 0639842165921\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguages:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding:\u003c\/b\u003e Audio CD\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eItem Condition:\u003c\/b\u003e New\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ID Shop.ca","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51460853104937,"sku":"HX-APUE-I8CE","price":12.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0747\/6225\/6681\/files\/510BwvVTSvL_64c4256a-bf4b-4c2f-9275-c39f8540d318.jpg?v=1762032347","url":"https:\/\/konnichiwa.ca\/fr\/products\/agnus-dei-ii-music-to-soothe-the-soul-cd","provider":"こんにちはマート | KON NICHIWA MART","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
