CD ReviewsTruly Deep Stuff Robert Thomas | Los Angeles, CA | 11/04/2004 (5 out of 5 stars) "If you've never heard the music of Morton Lauridsen, please know that I envy you. I envy you because you possess a gift which I can never again claim as my own, and that is the opportunity to experience this marvelous CD for the very first time. Lauridsen, a phenomenon of American music and a legend in world choral writing circles, composes deeply profound, heartfelt music which is at the same time uplifting, always radiating with hope. Even those who are not classical or choral music fans will be strongly drawn to it. Please take note of the 2nd of Lauridsen's Chansons des Roses, entitled 'Contre Qui, Rose', which I believe contains one of the single most perfect moments in all of music. This alone is reason enough to buy the CD, but its the Lux Aeterna, written in 1997, which is the real highlight of the disk. Also recommended is Arvo Part's 'Te Deum', Henryk Gorecki's 3rd symphony of sorrowful songs, John Rutters requiem and John Tavener's 'Tears of the Angels' and 'Song of the Angel. If you like Lauridsen, these are guaranteed to please, big time. Enjoy! " Magnum Mysterium...It's complexity in its simplest form. Josh B. | CT USA | 01/11/2002 (5 out of 5 stars) "When I began working with my College choir on "Oh Magnum Mysterium" this past year I was dissapointed. I had done the Victoria setting of the text a few years prior and was saddened that I would have to leave it behind for a different version. Then my choir sight read the piece. Needless to say my foot jumped directly into my mouth. Lauridson is an amazing composer. I have had the privaledge of singing not only "Oh Magnum Mysterium" but also, "Dirait On" and, "La Rose Complete", all of which are stunning in how their tonal simplicity is so darn complex. I only hope that I will have the opportunity to do more of his works in the future. Those of you who enjoy Lauriden might also check out works by Rene Clausen and "Song" by Karel Husa." Stunningly beautiful David M. Thompson | Simsbury, CT United States | 01/18/2003 (5 out of 5 stars) "I was not familiar with Mr. Lauridsen but purchased this CD as I like to collect various interpretations of O Magnum. This is quite simply some of the most beautiful choral music I have ever heard. This is a must for any serious collector of choral music."
