Recommend Lassus', Motets (Hilliard Ensemble (ECM)). For something a bit different. Also (within the "different" vein) Tchaikovski, Liturgy of St. John (EMI) -- or any other Orthodox liturgy compil. Cheers
the unaccompanied voice
i’m partial to a cappella singing in a several genre. i’m hoping i’m not alone in this and, thus, seek recommendations of such performances from my compatriots on the ‘gon. let me begin with a listing of a few recordings that are among my favorites:
• fairfield four; almost anything, but particularly “standing in the safety zone” and “I couldn’t hear nobody pray.”
• the persuasions; “frankly a cappella” (a tribute to zappa) and “might as well” (a tribute to GD)
• the bobs; “...cover the songs of”
• “the unaccompanied voice” (secretly canadian cd)
• the roches; “the roches”
• chanticleer; “colors of love”
• anonymous 4; “11,000 virgins” (hidegard von bingen), also , not quite a cappella but beautiful “voices of light” (richard einhorn)
please share some of yours.
