World In Union: Rugby World Cup 2011 The Official Album reviews

I am delighted with the CD. It is beautiful music from beginning to end. Really first rate. Thank you. Valmai

What a way to remember Rugby World Cup 2011!! GO THE ALL BLACKS!

This “WORLD IN UNION” – “RUGBY WORLD CUP 2011 – THE OFFICIAL ALBUM” CD, is marvellous since its first to the last song.

I was excited especially when listening the songs sung by Hayley Westenra, Katherine Jenkins (from both I've got CDs) and Bryn Terfel.

The 2011 version of “World In Union” is excellent in my opinion.

I also was excited with the “Land of My Fathers – Hen Wlad Fy Nhadau” (Welsh Anthem), the “Ireland's Call – The Official World Cup song og the IRFU” (Irish Anthem),the “Scottish Medley – featuring Flower Of Scotland” (is one of a number of songs which unofficially fulfil the role of Scottish Anthem, along with the older “Scots Wha Hae”, “Scotland the Brave” and “Highland Cathedral”. It was written by Roy Williamson of the folk group “The Corries”. Refers to the victory of the Scots, led by Robert the Bruce, over England's Edward II at the Battle of Bannockburn in 1314), the “Jerusalem” (a classical music piece called really “And did those feet in ancient time”, as this is a short poem by William Blake from the preface to his epic Milton a Poem, one of a collection of writings known as the Prophetic Books. Today it is best known as the anthem “Jerusalem”, with music written by “Sir Hubert Parry” in 1916) and of course the “God Defend New Zealand” (the “New Zealand” Anthem sung superbly by “Hayley Westenra”).

Definitely I recommend this CD to all fans of RUGBY UNION and MUSIC, which always accompanies this wonderful sport and the people who practice it worldwide. The RUGBY UNION and MUSIC can go hand in hand.

Awesome CD, very catchy
