The extraordinary purity of Polyphony’s singing is the perfect vehicle for music of such clean, elemental simplicity, such cathartic calm. Their recording of Triodion and other choral works won a Gramophone Award and became a cult classic. The selections on this album span nearly five decades — from 1963 to 2012. A range of biblical texts are set alongside ancient prayers, and the works feature several different languages. Price: $20.98 |
