Varied and interesting program - wonderfully sung

"This disk contains a wonderful program of a cappella choral music. Not only is there Penderecki, there is Reger, Mendelssohn, Poulenc, Schoenberg, and more!Everything is sung wonderfully well with intelligence, feeling,and great musical taste. Track 10 is so much fun you will want to hear it again and again. Well, you will want to hear the whole CD again and again because the music and the singing are at least terrific.I bought the CD because we were sining Schoenberg's "Friede auf Erden" last fall and I wanted to get it into my head. It is a very beautiful, but quite complex piece of music and it is easy to get lost if you don't know where you are supposed to be.When the CD arrived and I had listened to the Schoenberg a few times (and was greatly impressed by the performance!) I listened to the whole disk and was just WOWed by the quality of the singing and the thoughtful selections of music put on this disk.Thanks so much for making this disk!"
