Review
The dark sound, founded on an extremely solid bass line, is married to a quite unusual sense of blend and balance, providing great beauty throughout. Most of the music is slow and solemn, but there is enough variety to keep your interest. There is no doubting the deep feeling that these singers have for the material, and despite my initial frustration with this product for its short length and inadequate documentation I found myself almost hypnotized by its beauty. The perfectly judged recorded sound, spacious but also clear and focused, is another asset. –Henry Fogel – Fanfare Magazine
