one of our finest choirs specializing in the music of Christianity’s Eastern branch… The writing conveys both darkness and light with enough spiritual oomph to keep an audience on its metaphysical toes… superb
The choir is very good…The singers feel the liturgy and are very good at spinning out the lines of chant in both works. If you are a devotee of sacred choral music, you will be pleased to hear this.
