Our Most Popular Holy Week Albums

Be Still, My Soul
The Choir of All Saints' Church
Beverly Hills

Craig Phillips, organist
World Premiere Recordings!


A stunning program of contemplative sacred texts set to some of the most beautiful singing we've heard. Slow, focused intensity creates a strong emotional response from many listeners, including us. The Martin piece alone is worth the price of admission. With première recordings of new anthems by Craig Phillips and Roland Martin, this CD is also the first recording of the widely admired Choir of All Saints, Beverly Hills, under its new director, Dale Adelmann.
