La Rose Complete
L.M | CA | 04/18/2000
(5 out of 5 stars)

"Having sung one of the wonderfully crafted pieces on this CD ( La Rose Complete ) I would have to say this CD really can touch your heart and your soul. With my favorite being La Rose Complete, I can't say enough about it- the alto I and alto II part is something majestic, whereas the sopranoI and soprano II part can just blow you away, the tenors sound like distant angels and the bass part in this song is something else. I would recommend this CD to anyone who enjoys classy choir music with a twist a love."

"This CD is full of some of the best choral music I've heard in a long time. If I was forced to choose a favorite, it would be the Lauridsen, "Chansons des Roses". These pieces are performed with great finesse and careful attention to important details like diction, pitch, and dynamics. It is a difficult a capella set to sing, yet it is meticulously performed and is fascinating to hear over and over. The text is very romantic. Beautiful!"

"Being a lifelong fan of Rock-n-Roll and Rhythym and Blues, I was not expecting to hear classical music that would entirely impress me. THIS is the CD that has greatly changed my indifference towards real music! LA Chamber Singers have a real HIT on their hands! Never before have I heard a group so tightly woven with such beauty in their singing as the LACS. I am especially moved by the Morten Lauridsen 'Les Chansons des Roses'. With the foreplay of the first few songs leading to the climactic 'Dirait-on', I am drawn to tears every time I hear it! Oh, such aural beauty! This CD is a MUST for lovers of beautiful music."
