5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing presentation of instrumental music only using voices, April 20, 1998

This review is from: A Cappella Amadeus - A Mozart Celebration (Audio CD)

If you enjoy a cappella and you enjoy classical music, this is an amazing album. I listened to it the first time in a "jaw drop" mode. Most fascinating presentation of classical music I have ever heard!

4.0 out of 5 stars Mozart "en voce" and wonderfully creative., January 18, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: A Cappella Amadeus - A Mozart Celebration (Audio CD)

The strength of this CD is in the "voce" compositions. The pieces which were not written for voice are appreciated for the complexity and dedication to detail by the performers but it it precisely those merits which can be distracting. Once you get a sense of chickens clucking, it's hard to let go of the image. This CD is still worth it for the selections which most appeal to the listeners taste.
