Morten Lauridsen is one of the foremost choral composers alive today. His works are performed throughout the world on a regular basis. This recording of some of his best known choral pieces performed by the Elora Festival Singers and recorded on the Naxos label is a delight for your ears. The disc includes solid performances of O Nata Lux and O Magnum Mysterium. The Elora Festival Singers are led by Noel Edison. Their performance is crisp and clean. There is a wonderful vocal symmetry between all vocal parts so that you are really able to hear all of the complex harmonies written by Lauridsen. I highly recommend this cd.

The music unlike anthing I have every heard

Some of the most ethereal harmonies ever heard. The second movement of the "Des Roses" is a bit too fast for my liking, but the singers have definatly grasped the inner harmonies of the piece. Difficult but amazing when executed.
