COMMENTAIRES

«Light of the world» was nominated for the 2002 Grammy Award for Best Gospel Choir or Chorus Album.
A little over five years after releasing the powerful Christmas at the Brooklyn Tabernacle album, the Brooklyn Tabernacle Choir returned with Light of the World, another heartfelt holiday album. The Grammy- and Dove Award-winning choir balances holiday favorites like "O Holy Night" with new compositions by Carol Cymbala like "It's Christmas," "His Plan," and the title track. This same blend of old and new made Christmas at the Brooklyn Tabernacle a success back in late 1995, and it works again here. Not only is Cymbala an accomplished songwriter, but she also happens to have one of the nation's best gospel choirs backing her along with beautiful orchestrations by the Prague Symphony. If you like contemporary Christian/praise & worship choirs and want a good album for the holidays, you can't go wrong with this. ~ Jason Birchmeier - All music guide.

"It's about the miraculous birth of a baby unlike any other ever born to a woman. Christmas is really about much more than tinsel and holiday lights...it's about the greatest story ever told...the story of Jesus."
Inspired by these words, Carol Cymbala, wife of pastor and author Jim Cymbala (Fresh Faith, Fresh Power, The Life God Blesses), leads the award-winning Brooklyn Tabernacle Choir in a beautiful new Christmas release, Light of the World. Featuring classic Christmas carols in the distinctive style of the Brooklyn Tabernacle Choir, Light of the World also includes several new songs written by Carol Cymbala to help us regain our passion for Jesus.
Light of the World resounds with an undeniable passion for God and for telling the story of God with us, Emmanuel. The title song, written by Cymbala, reminds us how drastically Jesus' birth changed everything, bringing light to a dark world. But just knowing the story is not enough, and Cymbala calls us to respond with songs like I'll Give Him My Heart (based on the poem by Christina Rossetti) and The Worship Medley (contains He Came and Jesus the Son of God). And the powerful His Plan is a shining reminder that God was in control, guiding all of the events of the Christmas story to their proper fulfillment. //www.christianbook.com/

«LUMIERE DU MONDE»
Cet album a été nominé pour le "Grammy Award 2002" du "Meilleur choeur de gospel ou album de choeur".
Un peu plus de cinq ans après la réalisation du puissant album «Christmas at the Brooklyn Tabernacle», le Brooklyn Tabernacle Choir revient avec cet autre album de fête sincère.
Le Grammy récompense des choeurs en mettant en balance des classiques comme "O Holy night" et de nouvelles compositions de Carol Cymbala comme "It's Christmas", "His plan", et la chanson titre.
Ce même mélange d'ancien et de nouveau fît de «Christmas at the Brooklyn Tabernacle» un succès de retour à la fin 1995, et il fonctionne à nouveau ici.

«Il s'agit de la naissance miraculeuse d'un bébé pas comme les autres. Noël c'est vraiment beaucoup plus que le clinquant et les lumières de fête ... il s'agit de la plus grande histoire jamais racontée ... l'histoire de Jésus.»
Inspirée par ces mots, Carol Cymbala, épouse du pasteur et écrivain Jim Cymbala (Fresh faith, fresh power, The life God blesses), dirige le primé B.T.C. dans cette nouvelle réalisation sur Noël [...]
