Peter Greenfield of American Record Guide describes these works as “heartfelt, radiant, absolutely gorgeous music… delivered con amorte. This is all music straight from the heart. The choir and orchestra sound like they were deputized by the angels to bring this music to earth… This will be on my year's Best List for sure come January. I bet it makes yours too!” “Lauridsen’s music as sung by the Chorale demonstrates that it is possible for important contemporary music to speak directly to the human heart. Lux Aeterna is a rich, complex, intensely moving piece that people will be listening to for a long time to come.” — Jim Svejda Lauridsen - Lux Aeterna (RCM 19705) Morten Lauridsen | Lux Aeterna |
