TEMPLE OF CHASTITY - Music from 13th-Century Spain (Codex Las Huelgas)



The sound is complementary and the voices are all exceptionally pleasing, both solo and in the various ensemble combinations (and be assured, there are no choirboys here!) Even though the repertoire is familiar, this impressive group has managed to make it sound fresh and worth hearing over again--no mean accomplishment, and one that makes me eager to hear more from Mille Fleurs and Signum, whatever their next project.

CONTEMPORARY AND MEDIEVAL VOCAL MUSIC



The Choir of Gonville & Caius College, Cambridge is impressively at home in this consummately difficult repertoire, making as good a case for both the original medieval works and the modern ones as we could wish for. Even better is how the choir brings these centuries-apart works together into a coherent and sensible program.

SIGCD501
TAVENER: Mother and Child / POTT: My Song is Love Unknown



This is a wonderful disc, a program that all choral lovers should hear, not least because it gives proof that very fine sacred choral music is still being written--and given the first-rate attention it deserves by world-class performers.

Vocal Concert: King's Singers - SAINT-SAENS, C. / BAIRSTOW, E. / ELGAR, E. / SCHUBERT, F. / WILBYE, J. / BRAHMS, J. / LASSO, O. di / SENFL, L.



King's Singers fans who particularly appreciate the group's smoothly polished, impeccably balanced interpretations of English, French, and German partsong repertoire will be delighted with this nearly 70-minute program.

SIGCD061
1605 TREASON AND DISCHORD: William Byrd and the Gunpowder Plot



Not only is it opportune and thought-provoking, but it's one of the more programmatically bold and musically satisfying discs to appear in a long while.

SIGCD150
Vocal Ensemble Concert: King's Singers - POULENC, F. / MCCABE, J. / LASSO, O. / PASSEREAU, P. / JANEQUIN, C. / ROGERS, J. / HOBBS, J.W.



If you're a fan, you've already reserved a spot for this disc in your collection; if you're new to the King's Singers, one listen to this entertaining, characterful concert will have you looking for more.

SIGCD038
SONGS OF ANGELS - Music from Magdalen College, Oxford



…this is a disc more for specialist than casual listeners, despite the broad-market appeal of the title "Songs of Angels". But for lovers of early English choral music, it is quite rewarding.

SIGCD036
TALLIS: Complete Works (The), Vol. 8 - Lamentations and Contrafacta



In all, this is another excellent effort--again enhanced by well-designed packaging and informative notes--that Tallis fans shouldn't hesitate to add to their collections.
