Description
Superbly recorded and performed with stylish polish by the voices of luminatus, this is a release that should bring refined delight to everyone keen on excellent choral music both ancient and modern.
The slow-moving Kyrie here is of real beauty, and Luminatus offers richness when required against linear clarity elsewhere.
Beata es, Virgo Maria is of stunning beauty; consistently clean intervals characterize this performance.
The piece is heartfelt, and inspired, and is heard here in a positively seraphic performance, surely one of the highlights of the disc.
The idea behind this disc is fabulous.
Courageous, audibly enthusiastic and enterprising.
Including music by Phillipe de Monte, Cipriano de Rore, Francesco Stivori, Tiburtio Massaino and pieces by Cheyl Frances-Hoad, Cecelia McDowall and Melissa Dunphy. Plus much more great music.
Ideal for early music lovers and featuring superb contemporary repertoire.
