COMMUNITY REVIEWS

Poetic. submitted by terpsichore17 on August 30, 2019, 11:23pm I once had a conductor say that if you'd heard/sung one Lauridsen piece, you'd heard them all. This disc proves how false that is: the Mid-winter songs strike the ear much differently than the delicate Chansons des roses, which flood it with a terribly beautiful, rather melancholic river of sound.
