Chanticleer: Wondrous Love (CD)

Be the first to review this product

This is an exceptional, and exceptionally diverse, array of world class a cappella folk songs. You expect fine musicianship from Chanticleer - their subtlety of interpretation, impeccable tuning and blend, and vocal power are at peak form. The arrangements are also among the best we've heard of folk songs, richly harmonic and rhythmically interesting. But most striking is the global scale of the songs. Opening with the exciting (and meterically challenging) "Dulaman" from Ireland, the recording proceeds with songs from China, the U.S., Russia, England and Cuba. In total there are 23 glorious tunes from 19 countries. We can only hope these fabulous arrangements will soon be made available to the singing community. (73:34 1997)
