Sacred music from the Middle Ages to the present - Box 29 (CD)

Customer Review

29 CD in sacred music of the fifth to the twentieth century (the CD contains 30 texts in pdf). Very good case for Harmonia Mundi with excellent performers and sound very good.

Ensemble Organum, Marcel Pérès, Anonymous 4, Theatre of Voices, Paul Hillier, The Hilliard Ensemble, The Royal Chapel, Pilippe Herreweghe Concerto Vocale, Huelgas Ensemble, Les Arts Florissants, William Christie, Akademie für Alte Musik Berlin, Ensemble 415, Chiara Bianchini, Estonian Philharmonic Chamber Choir, Deutsches Symphonie-Orchester Berlin, Kent Nagano ...

The box contains a booklet of 200 pages in French, English and German. Small flat for the Pergolesi Stabat Mater sharing the CD 20 with Boccherini's Stabat Mater. In this Stabat Mater sung by Sebastian Hennig and René Jacobs the strings is slender and acid, the voices are not fully in place, the stamps are not very fair. It was very difficult to enter this version that does not lead us to a certain meditation. Apart from this small problem, the entire set is of excellent quality.
