CD Review: Chor Leoni (Anacrusis)
This fifth release from Vancouver's pride of lions features a mostly sacred and deeply moving program of works ranging from the 12th to the 20th centuries. Canadian baritone Brett Polegato guests on one of the few non-sacred pieces, Schubert's beautiful "Stänchen" for soloist and men's choir.
Other highlights include 12th century organum by Pérotin, "Beata Viscera," excerpts from Caplet's Messe à trois voix, a beautiful and seamless performance of Fauré's "Cantique de Jean Racine" transcribed for men's voices, and Michael Head's stunning "How Sweet the Moonlight Sleeps."
