Free Music Notes for Into the Light - featuring Kaori Muraji, Guitar
Free Music Review: Into the Light
Hit: 5 Stars
A beautiful album. The Sixteen are wonderful and Kaori Muraji is incomparable. Her guitar matches perfectly with the quiet, antique-flavored music. This CD is a happy combination of well chosen music intelligently arranged and presented in a sumptuous package of beautiful vocals and that quiet, supportive guitar. Lovely.
Into the Light - featuring Kaori Muraji, Guitar Poster
This is a close to a "crossover" album as the fine group The Sixteen have ever come. Leaving most of their pure Renaissance and Baroque polyphony aside, here they are abetted by guitarist Kaori Muraji in a series of pieces arranged (by Bob Chilcott) for the CD, most of which, though seeming unlikely, work very well. Pachelbel's Canon is presented wed to a poem by Oscar Wilde and proves hypnotic. Gaspar Fernandes, a 16th-century Portugese composer, is represented by an energetic "A negrito de cucurumb?," featuring two soloists from The Sixteen and percussion. Tomas Luis de Victoria's Alma Redemptoris Mater is presented in two parts: one for soprano and guitar, the other for chorus. There are guitar solos as well. Villa-Lobos's aria from the Bachianas Brasilieras No. 5 sounds strange and ineffective for full chorus, and the final choral highlight (from Borodin's "Polovtsian Dances") is a bit like Muzak, but this is an original, crowd-pleasing release, beautifully sung and played. --Robert LevineClassical Music CDs
