"It is impossible to praise this recording too highly. The superb singers Daniel Taylor and Suzie Le Blanc (countertenor and soprano respectively) are among the world's best singers, both gifted with exquisite timbre and evident intelligence. Their singing, whether together or separately, surpasses the level of brilliance one would expect, to enter a stratospheric shimming beauty that is indescribable.



Many of the pieces on this CD are hauntingly beautiful. Apart from the ravishing singing, Les Voix Humaine play as though they are angels in a painting by Carissimi. It is playing of the highest calibre. Together, the work produced by the gifted artists on this CD creates something that is sheer magic.
