Beautiful box Harmonia Mundi bringing together a capella songs of all female Anonymous 4 consists of four American singers specialists plainchant and polyphony. All explored the tenth centuries of music with Hildegard of Bingen in the XXI with John Tavener and Steve Reich.

This Christmas time oriented box contains: 1 Légends of St. Nicholas (medieval hymns and motets) - 2 Wolcum Yule (Celtic and British carols) - 3 On Yoolis Nigth (medieval carols) - 4 in A Star the East (Christmas music in Hungary in the Middle Ages). This small box contains a booklet of 150 pages in English and French with an explanatory introduction and texts for each CD.

Anonymous 4 approaches perfection. The ample sound unfolds with a slight reverberation, it leads us immediately in a sacred place, a Romanesque chapel or the heart of a cathedral. Tessituras refined and authentic presence for these beautiful sober and aerial voice. An excellent sound evoking the purity and freshness, depth and intimacy. With these songs, the Virgin Mary who shines on deep blue stained glass windows from the Middle Ages seems to be present in those places. The child Jesus in her arms she seems actually take flesh. A well be for the heart and mind. A clear imprint meditation for a trip out of time ...
