5.0 out of 5 stars IMAGES OF ABUNDANT BEAUTY, 26 Mar 2007
By G. R. Ford (Dorking, England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
The composer Michael Tippett wrote of how an age of mediocrity and shattered dreams needed "images of abounding, generous, exuberant beauty". It is a philosophy that Morten Lauridsen continues to pursue on this outstanding cycle of lyrical and melodic songs in a renewed collaboration with the majestic Polyphony.The Mid-Winter Songs are particularly evocative, giving full expression to the paradoxical symbolism of dying/renewal, light/darkness, and sleeping/waking.Lauridsen has the unerring capacity for finding the exact musical language to embody the poetic images he works with.Listen to the creative care and tenderness inherent throughout the structure of She Tells Her Love While Half Asleep,Contre Qui Rose, La Rose Complete, and Sa Nuit d'ete. To sustain this melodic intensity across the album is a telling achievement and it finds a fittingly exultant conclusion with the heartfelt and supremely moving Sure on This Shining Night. While we have such visionary work emerging from Lauridsen and his American compatriot Eric Whitacre, music will remain a rich source of reconciliation, consolation, exhilaration and hope so desperately needed in our modern wasteland.

5.0 out of 5 stars Words fail me! 6 stars wouldnt be enough!, 8 Feb 2007
I can hardly believe the haunting beauty of this cd. It is simply the best £12.99 I have spent for many years. Track 5 - "Intercession in Late October" is six and a half minutes of musical heaven ... and the rest of the cd is just as good. I was fortunate enough to hear Polyphony under Stephen Layton on Classic FM early last year doing "Water Night" from the Eric Whiteacre "Cloudburst" cd which I bought straight away. That cd is amazing ... but for Polyphony to be involved in something even more stunning on Morten Lauridsen's brilliant interpretations here leaves me speechless. Polyphony and Stephen Layton must be one of the greatest choirs ever heard. Uplifting and mesmerising, you cant help but get lost in the sweeping beauty of this superb cd. This is really something very special not to be missed.
