Editorial Reviews

This CD stands on its own merits as an exceptional programme of early sacred music, transcribed for and performed by the etherially beautiful voices of Musica Secreta and Celestial Sirens. However, like their earlier CD (dda25062) it has an added rationale, as the 'virtual sound-track' to the superb new novel 'Sacred Hearts', by Sarah Dunant. The music on the CD refers directly to many of the scenes and events in the book, allowing the reader/listener to more fully absorb themselves into the ancient world and characters so wonderfully portrayed. 'Sacred Hearts' is published in the UK by Virago, and in the USA by Random House. The book and CD have been heavily featured in the media in the UK including BBC Radio 'Woman's Hour', the South bank Festival and so on.

This review is from: Sacred Hearts, Secret Music (Audio CD)

This music will transport you to a place of serenity and beauty. I have been listening to it in my car and I swear it keeps my blood pressure down and eliminates any tendency toward road rage.
Be sure and read the book Sacred Hearts by Sarah Dunant. This music was her inspiration for the book.
