Even better than expected
Review By SB66640,February 2012

Summerly does such an extraordinary job with these early carols. They were bought as part of my collecting Piae Cantiones carols from different performers. What a stunningly directed disc this is!

My only criticism is that the recording sometimes tend to exaggerate the breathing of the Camerata. This is particularly true in the Gaudete where their breath-taking is a little odd for me, a personal view, obviously.

Regardless of this, I would heartily recommend this disc for some of the best interpretations of this early music.

elle se distingue nettement des autres par la qualite meme de son interpretation: melange des voix, rythmique, dynamique, timbres, eloquence dans laes relations musique/texte sont autant d'aspects qui atteignent ici la plus haute perfection (they distinguish themselves clearly from the others by the even quality of their interpretation: the rhythmic, dynamic and timbral blending of the voices, the eloquence of the relations music/texte are equally aspects which reach the highest perfection here)
