Cantus Recordings
...against the dying of the light (2002)
“The
performances certainly bring out all of the darkness but also all of
the serenity of the texts, and the wonderful music that sets them free.” -
Minnesota Public Radio
In September, 2002, Cantus released ...against
the dying of the light. This disc takes the listener on a journey
from the depths of despair to the pinnacles of joy, featuring rarely
heard virtuoso works for male choir by Carl Orff, Jean Sibelius, Samuel
Barber, Josquin Des Pres and Claude Debussy. The newly commissioned “Two
Laments on Dylan Thomas” by Kenneth Jennings, Schubert's haunting “Grab
und Mond” and Randall Thompson's “Alleluia" are saturated
with Cantus' emotionally-charged singing. This disc is a 24-bit high
resolution recording.
