CD Reviews

Flawless

Thomas Payne | Norwich, VT | 07/30/2009

(5 out of 5 stars)

"A truly flawless performance once again by the William Ferris Chorale. Color, blend and nuance make this recording a vocal masterpiece. Of particular interest is the prose of philosopher Dietrich Bonhoeffer, imprisoned by the NAZIs. His "Who Am I" brilliantly set to music by contemporary composer Paul French finds yet a new place in the heart. Indisputably marvelous and a "must have".

I've had the pleasure of hearing the William Ferris Chorale perform live. This group from Chicago makes those kids in Vienna sound like schoolboys."
