4.0 out of 5 stars excellent German sacred Latin polyphony CD, June 9, 2008

This review is from: Motetten Alter Meister (Audio CD)

Of my many polyphony CDs, this is above average, with rather peppy, upbeat renditions of the acapella songs, and boys apparently filling the soprano and alto range. No instruments, in the traditional mode. This is a compilation of various choirs singing Latin motets by numerous composers.

5.0 out of 5 stars A great offering..., June 24, 2011

This review is from: Sacred Choral Music (MP3 Download)

...those who are familiar with Dresden Kreuzchor or, for that matter, with Rudolf Mauerberger, will likely need no enticement to purchase this item and are well acquainted with the stellar caliber of products typically offered by both. This product is no exception, with the choir being comprised of both men and women blessed with incredibly beautiful voices. In unison, it rises to angelic. I've listened to this recording in all manner of places - from the quiet sanctity of my den, to the library and amidst rather chaotic "hustle and bustle." In any circumstance, it never fails to touch me deeply and to carry me through to a place of reflection and solace.

This is a fantastic offering at an incredbile price (the disc itself at the time of this review is roughly twice the price - if purchased directly from Amazon - of the MP3 download).

Highly recommended.
