The Mormon Tabernacle Choir - Songs of America

Rating:
Summary: Not just songs...
Review: Interspersed among the ten songs in this DVD are three lenghty sermons that purport to introduce the songs that follow but serve in fact to promote the Mormon Church by extolling its prophets and its current leader (whose picture is provided), with allusions to the hardships of its great exodus out West. All this detracts considerably from the enjoyment one might otherwise get from a seamless continuous performance. Enjoyable as they are, the songs lean more to the religious side than the patriotic.
