Free Music Notes for Lauridsen: Lux Aeterna, etc. / Salamunovich, Los Angeles Master Chorale
Free Music Review: Lux Aeterna Describes the Disk Perfectly
Hit: 5 Stars
I am an avid follower of the classical genre but somehow have missed the music of Lauridsen. All of the selections on this disk are exceptional in their ability to evoke peace and the beauty of creation. Lauridsen's music is truly inspirational and the performance by the Los Angeles Master Chorale is exceptional. This is a must disk if you love inspirational chorale music.Free Music Review: Masterful - O Magnum
Hit: 5 Stars
The Los Angeles Master Choral has captured the heart of Lauridsen's music. Each of the pieces is "masterfully" accomplished and dynamically phrased effortlessly.
To be imitated is the most sincere form of flattery.

I first heard this when a friend played this CD for me. It is stunning, haunting, passionate, beautiful. I immediately bought my own copy and three for friends in the UK. All are critical musicians and all were blown away by this work. One emailed me to say that this composer, new to him, had a fantastic feel for the chorus and "writes for the voice like Palestrina". Morten Lauridsen is a most sensitive soul and his music reflects the deep personal emotions he underwent while composing 'Lux Aeterna'. The man is a composer in the mainstream of things, equal in every sense to Rutter. I predict they will be playing his music in a hundred years. We are blessed to be among the early audience for this master of choral work. If you even remotely enjoy choral music buy this. You will not be disappointed. Lux is not his only work by any means. Do a search and you will find that he has written work in a more modern tone...believe me ...it is excellent without exception.
And you will enjoy it over and over again, I promise.

Hit: 5 Stars
As an afficianado of fine contemporary choral compositions and their performances, I will tell you that you will not find a more rewarding CD than that of Lauridsen recorded by the LA Master Chorale. None have surpassed Paul Salamunovich's interpretation of these exquisite compositions.
If you like intense, lush harmonies with climaxes that draw tears, this is one you cannot be without. Lauridesn is a true gift to our musical heritage, and one can only hope that his contentment with the ocean & the coast do not rob us of future master works. Gary Dissette- Denver Colorado
Free Music Review: Rich and gorgeous contemporary tonality
Hit: 5 Stars
I was first introduced to Lauridsen at a concert of the Ohlone Chamber Singers in Fremont, California. It just blew me away. All the positive reviews you see here are spot on, and if you enjoy those slightly dissonant chords that turn into lush and beautiful resolutions, this is the stuff for you.
