CD Reviews

Angelic a'cappella

varmstrong | Ohio | 12/03/2002

(5 out of 5 stars)

"Christmas music for those who love the human voice. The solos by Karen and Lee Maneman are close to flawless. Listen to these beautiful voices sing glorious music on a snowy Winter evening. It's pure Christmas enchantment without a hint of commercialization."

German Christmas music

"Nice music but I wanted to hear more German. Some of the songs are

in Latin. I was somewhat disappointed."

"I thoroughly enjoyed the repertoire on this CD since I especially like German choral music. While the group is obvoiusly quite capable, the acoustic environment had too much reverb, causing a somewhat muffled, indistinct sound character. Sometimes the music also lacks a vitality and energy that it could have (Weinachten, for example)."
