Customer Reviews:

great music - nasty voices.......2007-01-07

Lauridsen ROCKS! He's amazing - such diverse, beautiful music that should be savoured by listeners and performers alike. Sadly though, a certain soprano voice just grated on me............his Magnum Mysterium is so gentle and sublime and angelic - and the wobbling vibrato of the soloist has made this CD very difficult for me to listen to - even as a reference point! oh dear!

Spectacular.......2003-08-13

This modest, relatively cheap CD has some absolutely spectacular vocal music that can blast the pants of much in the choral repetoire. Ubi Caritas (track 3) alone makes this CD worth $... While very original, Lauridsen's heavily vocal music reminds me of Mahler, Brahms, and Copland.

A journey to remember.......2003-01-15

There is nothing more intimate then the human voice. I am a voice major at a university. Nothing speaks to me more highly then choral music. I was a little skeptical about this CD when I first got it. I have since fallen in love with every aspect of it. Of course if you get this CD you must get the companion CD Lux Aeterna by the Los Angeles Master Chorale. You cannot have one without the other.

Inspired and Insightful Work!.......2002-11-16

This is a very interesting CD! Using a small group or soloists to perform works that are usually done with large choral groups gives an entirely different sound and feel to this music. I'm very familiar with O Magnum Mysterium, one of the great modern choral works, having sung it myself or heard it performed many times. But sung with a single soprano soloist, it has an intimate, emotional appeal that I've never experienced before! A small group performing Ubi Caritas also gives an astounding clarity to the work that is quite different! I would definitely recommend this CD to any classical music lover.

Morten Lauridsen is a treasure!

one word: WONDERFUL!.......2002-02-06

I was given a copy of NORTHWEST JOURNEY for Christmas. Probably the best gift of music I've received ever.

The opening song, Where Have All the Actors Gone, with Sunny Wilkinson singing and Shelley Berg on piano, is I think one of Lauridsen's finest. Ms. Wilkinson's voice is warm and expressive, fitting the song's lyrics and mood perfectly. The piano playing is also marvelous.

On Dirait-On which can also be heard in its choral version on the Lauridsen album, LUX AETERNA, is to my ear more beautiful as a duet. While the choral version is lovely, it's hard to match Jane Thorngren and James Drollinger's performances.

The song cycle A Winter Come is finely sung also. My favorite of the Madrigali is track #16: the chorus is well-blended and their singing is uplifting as well as solemn.

To finish the album, Jane Thorngren leaves us with the MOST INSPIRING rendition of O MAGNUM MYSTERIUM I have and will have ever heard. I leave this track on repeat several times in the car driving home from work, and every moment is a joy.

This album has been playing daily in my car. I cannot say enough to recommend it.

A sample of Lorca's treasures.......2005-01-25

Germaine Montero's acting career started in a theater in Madrid, in the '30s, under the direction of none other than Frederico Garcia Lorca. In France, she first became known through her interpretations of Spanish songs, but her powerful voice also sang the French poets, such as Pierre Mac Orlan, Jacques Prevert, Joseph Kosma (Autumn Leaves), and Leo Ferré, as well as the classics of the French repertoire. On the stage, she interpreted Claudel, Pirandello and Bertold Brecht. She also appeared in many films. Montero's deep, remarkable voice, full of emotions, interprets with feelings and intelligence the beautiful lyrics of the great poet Frederico Garcia Lorca. I still have an old LP, which I purchased in the '50s, when I was fifteen, which I still play often although, by now, as you can imagine, it has seen better days. The same set of poems, with the beautiful guitar accompaniment, was published in the late '90s, but unfortunately is out of print and otherwise unavailable, but I am still hoping...

April 2005. Hurrah! I found one copy! But I'll still keep my old, scratched-up 33 rpm LP, for nostalgia sake .

Spoken Spanish Poetry.......2002-05-15

The poetry of Garcia Lorca is classic and well known as being among the greatest of the century. The reading by Germaine Montero is what makes this CD truly exceptional. Her voice and timing seem like the only possible interpretation of the poetry. For anyone who loves Spanish literature or who wants to perfect their Spanish, this is a gem.
