This album contains a collection of completely unknown and yet outstanding pieces inspired by the Latin text of the Song of Songs and originating from various regions, England, Silesia, France, and Bavaria.
Agnieszka Budzinska-Bennett once again demonstrates a thorough understanding of this repertoire. The inspired narrative performance is impeccable, and the singing is very expressive throughout, powerfully luminous and richly colored. The voices are perfectly blended with flawless intonation.
Thanks to Tacet’s Real Surround Sound, the sound is once again of the very best quality.
The booklet contains notes and translations of the lyrics in German and English.
