Karl Jenkins is a rare talent. It is not simply that, "They don't write 'em like they used to", it is that, in any age, there are few real talents, head and shoulders above the mass. At the beginning of the twenty-first century, Karl Jenkins is, unquestionably, one of those giants. I have yet to listen to anything that this man has written without gaining real joy, but undoubtedly, his magnum opus is the Armed Man. I believe that one could listen to this mass for peace until the CD crumbles into dust, and still need another copy to keep drawing out the sheer goodness of the music. Do not be fooled by that, 'A Mass for Peace' bit and think that what you are going to get is some wishy-washy, let's all be nice to each other, trite rubbish: oh, no! Jenkins is so much better than that! So much talent makes you sick! (But buy the CD anyway, it is fantastic). I am afraid that I cannot do this album justice, as the rating only goes up to 'Excellent'; where is ' a Unique, Life Changing Experience'? Answer; On this CD.Read full review

Have been a fan of Karl Jenkins work since hearing his music used on several adverts including the deBeers 'diamonds are forever' in 1993. I listened a lot more to Classic FM during lock down and heard several of the pieces from the Armed Man played which inspired me to buy the album. What a moving experience it is. Everyone should listen to this.

This is a perfect condition cd. Only having two or three parts of "The Armed Man" I was pleased that the whole is a delight, in parts, and as a whole, so it is a lovely piece revisit again and again.
