Advantages: great songs

Disadvantages: none

A great classical music CD released by Welsh composer and conductor Karl Jenkins, it has 13 different songs/hymns and lasts for about 65 minutes in total. It is only on one CD.

Each song is conducted by Karl Jenkins and the bands are The London Philharmonic Orchestra and The National Youth Choir of Great Britain, the CD was recorded in 2000 and released in 2001.

The CD was originally dedicated to victims of the Kosovo crisis and the music has a war theme with the CD starting with marching feet marching of to war, as in previous Jenkins work it quickly changes into different languages without any effort.

A very good CD for any fans of classic music the band is superb and the music is great and the quality of the CD is good, well worth listening to. It has some great tracks and is currently on £11 at Amazon so well worth buying.

There is also an film that was created specifically to accompany the live performances.
