Customer Reviews
Cantus comes thru with strong performance
Being a vocal coach and choir director, I'm always excited when an all-male, classical trained ensemble makes it big on the national scene. This is a very good album. My only criticism is the collective vibrato of their tone on Franz Biebl's AVE MARIA and some of the other pieces. The Biebl is one of my favorite works and sounds better if done with more of a straight tone. In fact, many of the pieces on this album and volume two would sound more pleasing if CANTUS would eliminate or at least minimize their vibrato. At times, it reminds one of a taped recording that isn't playing at exactly the right speed.
Cantus Christmas selection
This is a very nice album to put on in the background. Especially if you like the unusual. Very calming acapella music done with interesting arrangements and classical vocals.
