5.0 out of 5 stars Crumb in poetic and eerily beautiful mode, 26 May 2002
By Simon Barrow (Exeter, United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)   
Those who know US composer George Crumb mainly from the terrifying musings of 'Black Angels' (made semi-famous by the Kronos Quartet) will probably be surprised by the haunting beauty of 'Ancient Voices'. Based on texts from Lorca, the rich but sparing instrumentation is complemented by evocative, floating soprano - sometimes sung into the piano to create an eerie, mystical ambient. My first exposure was at London's Roundhouse in 1976, where even the background rumbling of trains couldn't sublimate the extraordinary lure of Crumb's sound world. Truly gorgeous and thoughtfully composed.

5.0 out of 5 stars weird and wonderful, 27 Feb 2004
By A Customer
A strange but utterly haunting piece in which Crumb sets poems by the wstrange and utterly haunting Spanish poet, Lorca. Doubters might feel it tips into tredny absurdity at times but, for me, it has withstood the test of LP, tape and CD. A wonderful central performance carries the vocal line. You'll either love it or hate it.
