Customer Reviews

It might be illegal to put this much beauty on one CD.
Lauridsen has a sense of harmony and rhythm that creates a serene sanctuary of music. One to which a sensory-numbed urbanite (that'd be me) can escape. His music is exciting enough to hold my deficient attention, but soothing enough to calm me and convince me that email, cell phones, and deadlines can wait. His lines flow effortlessly into one another, and his voice-leading is delicate and clever. There is no better living composer of choral music. Period.

The splendor of "Dirait-on"
I haven't actually heard this C.D. - but I have heard most of the works on it. Morten Lauridsen's work with "Les Chansons des Roses" is absolutely breathtaking. My personal favorite is "Dirait-on." It is so beautiful - it soothes the mind and soul.
