5.0 out of 5 stars I still love this cd!, July 20, 1999

By A Customer

I have had this album for a year now, and I am still just as amazed at it as I was when I peeled it out of its plastic wrap and set it in my cd player the first time. I can't put this music on and go wash dishes or sort laundry... I must sit and close my eyes and listen. It makes me want to go and buy a set of expensive headphones. This is a wonderful album, which I will force all of my friends to listen to, and which I strongly recommend to anyone who likes to listen to music.

5.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful, March 9, 1999

By A Customer

I'm not a frequent listener of choral music, but this cd has brought tears to my eyes more than once. Do yourself a favor and buy it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Breathtaking!, February 28, 1999

By A Customer

From a nation in which choral music is a national, and often personal, priority comes this heart-rending, memorable collection of Latvian and other regional folk tunes. Not artsy, not showy, no overproduced...just right.
