CD Reviews

At its best, the highest form of ecstasy

John Humphreys | Downingtown PA USA | 02/21/2005

(5 out of 5 stars)

"This CD has a mixture of spiritual (Christian/old testament) music, sung with awe-inspiring talent by Tenebrae, a singing group led by Nigel Short. Supported by amazing organ work, they have created a sumptuous CD, with "Seek Him that Maketh the Seven Stars" and "Mother and Child" being the highlights. The title track, written by Taverner, I have played over and over and it always shakes me. The feeling at the climax is as if the Holy Spirit Himself is bathing you in light. Wow!"
