Biography

Recognized as one of America's finest professional male vocal ensembles, Cantus enjoys a vigorous schedule of national tours, subscription concerts in its home of Minneapolis and Saint Paul, educational outreach programs, and recording. The Washington Post hails the ensemble's sound as having both "exalting finesse" and "expressive power," and refers to their music-making as "spontaneous grace."… Read more in Amazon's Cantus Store

5.0 out of 5 stars Heavenly, October 30, 2011

Gailkate (St. Paul, MN USA) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Comfort and Joy: Volume One (Audio CD)
Cantus requires your complete attention. Sit as if you were at a concert and let the music take you. The "Ave Maria" (transcending any I've heard) made me weep.

We're buying this for several friends and know it will be their favorite Christmas present, perhaps of all their Christmases. But not if they're looking for the familiar and predictable.

3.0 out of 5 stars Cantus comes thru with strong performance, July 1, 2009
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Comfort and Joy: Volume One (Audio CD)
Being a vocal coach and choir director, I'm always excited when an all-male, classical trained ensemble makes it big on the national scene. This is a very good album. My only criticism is the collective vibrato of their tone on Franz Biebl's AVE MARIA and some of the other pieces. The Biebl is one of my favorite works and sounds better if done with more of a straight tone. In fact, many of the pieces on this album and volume two would sound more pleasing if CANTUS would eliminate or at least minimize their vibrato. At times, it reminds one of a taped recording that isn't playing at exactly the right speed.

4.0 out of 5 stars Cantus Christmas selection, January 12, 2009
By 
This review is from: Comfort and Joy: Volume One (Audio CD)
This is a very nice album to put on in the background. Especially if you like the unusual. Very calming acapella music done with interesting arrangements and classical vocals.
