Cappella Roman Delivers Arvo Part’s Spirituality
When it's time to get off the merry-go-round of daily life, play this album. It can transport you to a world of quiet contemplation. And that's not a bad thing at all.
Solid Choral Compositions from Richard Lambert
Karolina Csáthy directs the Accordare Choir. They sing with feeling and precision -- two qualities for the success of "...a plague."
Gregor Aichinger: Virginalia, 1607 - Ground-breaking
Excellent performances of ground-breaking music.
Arte Minima Presents Renaissance Music from Portugal
It's a sound I've not heard before. And it's music I've not heard before. So, win-win for me.
Fresh Music on Christmas Morning
There may be some favorite carols here, but to me, it all sounds pretty fresh. This one will be in heavy rotation at the Graves' house this season.
House of Belonging - Award-worthy Music
This is an album of extraordinary beauty. Beautiful, insightful music sung by master musicians. Oh yes. This one deserves a Grammy nomination (if not the Grammy itself).
Jauchzet Gott: Cantatas by Bach, Graupner, and Zelenka
As I say -- these types of cantatas work for me. And these performances really make them work. Highly recommended.
Giovanni Battista Fills in Historical Gap
The Constanzi Consort is directed by Peter Leach. The soloists are very good and sing in a straightforward manner. A welcome addition to our collective knowledge of the Classical Era.
The Palacio Songbook -- Early Spanish Music Re-examined
The scholarship is first-rate. And so is the musicianship. Da Tempera Velha brings out the stylistic differences between the collections, albeit subtly.
