Robert Kyr: All-Night Vigil

Classical-Modern Music Review Review

Robert Kyr: All-Night Vigil

sonorous drones, extended sustains, deeply full choral outlays and deeply meditative sobriety and jubilation… Bravo for the vocal excellence, the great audio and the finely crafted honing of the Modern in the Archaic.

“Cappella Romana take care quite beautifully of the performances under the direction of Alexander Lingas.… The style lives with some sonorous drones, extended sustains, deeply full choral outlays and deeply meditative sobriety and jubilation, plus the welcome thickening of the palette nicely with more modern harmonic densities at times, more than we would hear in the traditional form. If you approach the music with no particular expectations, and if you are like me, you resonate with the primalities of possibility in archaic and post-archaic tonalities through the ages, well here are some beautiful new examples I suspect you will take to. … Bravo for the vocal excellence, the great audio and the finely crafted honing of the Modern in the Archaic.”
