Polyphonic Paradise
author: Carl M. Nielsen
About four og five years ago I began to get interested in the polyphonic choirmusic from the late middleage and early renneaceance. Since then I've heard a lot of albums in that genre. it's actually quite fare from what I mostly listen to, but in periods this is all I hear. So I know some tittles. Why am I telling this? because this album is the best I've heard in that type of music yet. Vox Populi has superb voices, and handle every note with care. The way they are recorded and produced is exelent too. A sharp, distinct sound that makes is posible to hear all that goes on. Often on such albums the many melody-lines are difficult to find and keep apart from eacother. Either that, or they are to seperate, so they don't blend. "Songs of Love, Lament and Praise" is a supreme production, sounding just perfect.
