Sydney Carter's Lord of the Dance CD is a brilliant compilation that matches the finest work of this much-loved songwriter with some of the leading lights in contemporary music. The distinguished musicians and performers appearing on the disc include Sarah-Jane Morris, Why?, Norma Winstone, The Kingdom Choir, Martyn Joseph, Whirling Pope Joan, Matt Redman, Ian Shaw, Isla Blair, Carrie and David Grant and The Swingle Singers. Sydney Carter himself reads two of his own poems. It has been the inspiration of producers Craig McLeish and Jeremy Taylor to intertwine the most popular songs - and a few unfamiliar gems - with some of Carter's searching poetry. With great sensitivity, the essential religious content of his words, whether sung or spoken, has been faithfully preserved, along with a sense of the music's origins in folksong and dance. At the same time, Carter's universal message about matters of doubt and faith is proclaimed in terms of the plenitude of contemporary sound resources, and the rich plurality of musical styles that is the hallmark of our present age.
