Wonderful!
Maria | 06/06/2006
(5 out of 5 stars)

"This is a pretty unexpected treat for any lover of choral music or Celtic music! The quality of the singing is amazing, particularly from Lucy Champion on "The Sea" and "Blackthorn" - she leaves so many of these celtic-type female vocalists standing at the starter's gate. I bought this based on the reviewes, and I have not had it off my turntable since. An "essential" purchase."
One of Anuna's best!

"This recording contains some of Anuna's best music, and performing in general. There is an electric, otherworldly quality throughout which is due to Michael McGlynn's extraordinarily appealing writing, the mix of influences (Celtic, medieval music, and minimalist composers such as Arvo Part), and the uniquely transparent ensemble sound which stems from a specially formulated blend of classically trained choral singers and more "raw" Celtic/folk singers.



Of particular note are "Nobilis Humilis" which is an incredibly complex multi-layered choral piece with cluster harmony built from a medieval conductus, "Blackthorn" with a gorgeous soprano solo and harp accompaniment, and "Island", which is a stunning masterpiece highlighted with McGlynn's unearthly clear tenor voice."
