  • Description

    This album explores the great wealth of music written for unaccompanied choir in England, France and Germany during the Romantic era and into the twentieth century. The pure, distilled beauty of the a cappella medium inspired the composers heard on this album to some of their most poetic and delightful compositions.



    "First class singers, thoughtful, intelligently selected repertoire, and unfailing excellent performances" - CD Review



    "Some of the best singing here is to be found in Brahms's four songs from his Op. 44 set. The women's voices have an innocence and unaffected purity which are absolutely right for these delightful little songs. Indeed everything the Cambridge Singers do is characterized by impressive technical fluency and an unquestionable degree of commitment." - Gramophone
