Customer Reviews
Whitacre: Cloudburst - Brilliantly written and performed
I heard Lux Aurumque on CBC radio 2 one day and simply had to find out who the artist was. The harmonies were gorgeous, and the way the song was written and performed made it almost sound like a sampler playing human voices. Polyphony is truly a world-class ensemble and excels to a magnicifent degree in the area of a cappella choral singing. Stephen Layton manages to pull so much emotion out of the performances of this group it is truly heartwrenching, and Whitacre's compositions are brilliant and beautiful. Pitch perfect and filled with a wide range of musical emotion. A must-have.
Simply Amazing
There are hardly words I can use to describe how fabulous Eric Whitacre is, and this album is no exception. It is performed beautifully. The intricate harmonies are so haunting and wonderful, and I have no doubt that you will enjoy this CD immensely.
Simply Magnificent
From first listen last year, to right now as I sit adoring its harmonies, this must be considered one of the best choral recordings ever made. From "A Boy And A Girl"'s simplistic beauty to the haunting lines of "When David Heard," this is without a doubt, and absolute must-own.
