Album Notes & Community Reviews
This sweeping presentation of the massive choral cantata captures the piece's primal rhythmic energy and triumphant vocal dynamics. The expanded orchestral and choral forces deliver the profane medieval texts with an intoxicating blend of bombast and delicate melodicism. It serves as a definitive stereo-era recording of the twentieth-century masterwork.
