Customer review

Tyska flaggan  5.0 von 5 SternenTeils Neoromantik…

Von Ein Kunde am 11. März 2002

Format: Audio CD

… teils nicht ganz so leicht eingängig, aber in jedem Fall 5 Sterne wert, weil
1. es wunderbar ist zu erleben, was zeitgenössische Komponisten mit gut 20 Jahren Alter bereit sind zu komponieren und weil
2. BIS natürlich wie immer eine exquisite Produktion vorgelegt hat.
Unbedingt hörenswert und ein Muß für den Liebhaber zeitgenössischer Chormusik!

Union Jack The Deepest Beauty of Music Revealed

by Fountains Abbey 1132

Sonority is an album of absolutely beautiful a capella choral music. St. Jacob’s Chamber Choir is so well refined that you can hear every intricacy and embellishment intended by such marvelous Sweedish composers. This music brings me peace like I have never felt in my life, and conforts me in all my hardship. This is a must for any music collection, without a doubt.
