Free Music Notes for Eric Whitacre: Cloudburst and Other Choral Works
Free Music Review: Encore!
Hit: 4 Stars
Truly a masterpiece for choir! I am a choral amateur listener, as I just got into it: this is my first choral cd, but I must tell you that it was worth much more than I payed. A beautiful collection of songs by the very talented Eric Whitacre: his harmonies and suspensions will make you fall in love with the music.Free Music Review: Eric Whitacre Cloudburst - a wonderful presentation of his music
Hit: 5 Stars
I first heard a Whitacre piece on public radio and had to look him up. His Cloudburst collection is wonderful. Straight tone choral with amazing moving harmonies and dynamics.
Free Music Review: A must for every fan of choral music
Hit: 5 Stars
This is among the most magnificent choral albums I've ever heard. The works include perhaps the single most moving piece of music I've encountered, "When David Heard." Polyphony provides an absolutely impeccable and profoundly moving performance that is powerful and subtly nuanced. I have been a serious choral singer for more than four decades, and I'm simply blown away by the sheer emotional intensity of Stephen Layton's reading of the piece. The other works on the album range from lovely to charming, but it's "When David Heard" that I find myself playing over and over and over again. Brigham Young University's recording of Whitacre's choral works is generally strong, but Polyphony's performance of "David" leaves BYU's in the dust. I just bought three more copies to give to friends. Free Music Review: Far Superior to BYU
Hit: 5 Stars
From the first note of the first song you can tell that you're in for a different experience than from "Eric Whitacre: The complete works"
Polyphony truly displays its mature tone color and sensitivity to the text while at the same time maintaining phrases that leave any first time-or several time- listener breatheless. The only way to describe this entire album is pure joy. I couldn't believe my ears.
A Must have for any music fan.
Free Music Review: Great Choral Collection
Hit: 5 Stars
Eric Whitacre is a leader in the composition of current chorale and band literature. The performance and recording quality of this album are of the highest quality. While I was more familiar with Whitacre's band works, this provides the original setting for two of his more famous compositions, Sleep and Lux Aurumque. This album is a great addition to any music collection.
