Synopsis

Product Description

''No praise can be too high for the singing of the 32 Handel and Haydn choristers.... [T]heir work is magnificent in tone, balance, diction, and feeling, and there is no sense of strain in even the most demanding, high-flying passages.'' -- Richard Dyer, Boston Globe, April 30, 2004 PEACE | a choral album for our times is one of the 21st century's most acclaimed and best-selling CDs of a cappella choral music. Peace offers a rich collection of popular a capella works including the popular Agnus Dei of Samuel Barber; John Tavener's Song for Athene; Randall Thompson's Alleluia; Elgar's Lux Aeterna (Nimrod); and compositions by Rachmaninoff, Schoenberg and American composer Morten Lauridson. PEACE provides over one hour of beautiful and inspiring music.

CD Reviews

Stunningly Beautiful

Charles Horton | Nashville, TN United States | 10/07/2004

(5 out of 5 stars)

"Glorious Indeed! Robert Levine's above review is 'right on'.

Morten Lauridsen's chill-provoking 'O magnum mysterium' brought me to this project after hearing it on public radio at 2AM. Choice of material, quality and sensitivity of performance, and Grant Llewellyn's masterful direction make this a 'must have'.

I rarely buy choral music, but this one I will give at Christmas with a wish for the 'Peace' this music inspires."

Peace

"Well, I really enjoyed this recording. Sure, the choir was not perfect in a few places but it was good enough for me (I sing in a couple of choirs myself). Lauridsen's Magnum was very good, quite hair raising in a nice way. The final chords so lovely and so hard to be really quiet yet maintain pitch and body."
