4.0 out of 5 stars Outstanding, December 21, 1999

This is a wonderful album with rich full and deep tones. The atmosphere is full of the Anglican tradition from which it sprang. I first heard a review on NPR Sunday and was completely satisfied by the actual work. Ms. Dudley shows her theatric side, only adding to the mysterious and wonderful qualities of the inspiring melodies. A good buy!

4.0 out of 5 stars A must have, December 28, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Ancient & Modern (Audio CD)

I bought the album after listening to it in a local store. The first cut is supurb, and most of the rest of the album is very good as well. The album has a hypnotic spiritual quality (somewhat like Gorecki or Arvo part). Turn out the lights, lay back and be transported.

This is intoxicating. But I bought this version (1995 on Echo), only to find that a friend had a original from-the-manufacturer (1999) CD with 2 additional cuts. So, it was released with more music, and it was quality stuff too: Canzonetta and The Testimony of John are not included on the earlier version. I was disappointed to find that I received a diminished version. But, even reduced, this is alluring, gorgeous music that skillfully blends the 13the century with the 21st. The arrangements seem so simple, but get more and more complex with repeated listenings.

Just be sure you're getting the 1999 version, and you'll listen endlessly.
