Product description

Immerse yourself in the enchanting world of Morten Lauridsen's choral masterpieces with this exquisite collection, released in 2007. This album is a testament to Lauridsen's profound ability to blend poetic texts with evocative music, creating an atmosphere of tranquility and introspection. The disc features a variety of works, including the hauntingly beautiful "Nocturnes," which sets poems by various authors to Lauridsen's signature lush harmonies, and "Les Chansons des Roses," a cycle inspired by the poetry of Rainer Maria Rilke. Additionally, the album showcases the ethereal "Mid-Winter Songs," based on texts by Robert Graves, and other notable choral works that highlight Lauridsen's distinctive compositional style. Performed by the renowned choir Polyphony under the direction of Stephen Layton, this recording captures the essence of Lauridsen's music with stunning clarity and precision. Whether you're a seasoned fan of choral music or a newcomer to the genre, this album offers a rich and rewarding listening experience. With a duration of just over an hour, it's perfect for a moment of quiet reflection or a backdrop to a peaceful evening.
