An English Ladymass: Medieval Chant and Polyphony

Mostly Polyphony, not so much Chant. Acapella at its best, what an amazing musical instrument. Others have said that their are no outstanding songs, but I think the majority are amazing. Very calming to feral cats.

as always with anonymous4 the music is beautiful and their vocals are exemplary.I do have one small quibble with the recording. On many tracks the singer inhalations are clearly audible (at least through headphones) and I find this most distracting. I appreciate that it is not possible to avoid entirely the recording picking this up (if reduced to a slight whisper it can even be quite nice) but on this recording I find it to be just a little too noticeable. It is especially evident on track 1, 5 and 21. Sounds like it is from one singer which could have been microphone placement?sorry about that everyone - perhaps I am being a little too pedantic !

These four women sound like Angels singing in a Mass. If you love Choir music, you will love this.

I enjoy chant music and this recording is one of the best

This is one of my favorite albums. I had it on a cassette years ago, and I am delighted to have it on CD. The Anonymous 4 are one of the best groups I know for medieval chant. If you loved the Monks of Santo Domingo, you will be very satisfied with this album.

bought it for a retired music teacher.she went wild. i knew she loved the anonymous four. we all smiled, that day.

A little bit goes a long way. All the songs sounded the same; I ended up giving this to a friend.

Again, the Anonymous 4 is a great group. They've done nothing I don't enjoy.

Les chanteuses ont une voix célestes.

Beautiful, what more can I say!

Anonymous 4, ensemble de femmes consacré à la musique médiévale est une référence dans l'interprétation de cette musique : j'aime l'homogénéité des voix, leur douceur, la grâce, la fluidité de l'interprétation.

This CD is an academic and musical treat. Trawling through the available material the Anonymous 4 have put together a selection of pieces whose devotional beauty is enhanced by the brilliance of their celestial tones. A masterful performance which puts this negmected repertoire firmly back on the musical map. Exquisite.

Wonderful CD that transports you immediately into medieval cloisters and vaulted ceiling with its unearthly sound. Just exquisite and from the brilliant group that brought us On Yoolis Night. An acquired taste but if you have it this is the most fabulous treat.
