"The singing of VOCES8 is impeccable in its quality of tone and balance. They bring a new dimension to the word 'ensemble' with meticulous timing and tuning."
- Gramophone
Sparse yet majestic, Winter from British vocal ensemble VOCES8 captures the fragile beauty of this most evocative of seasons. The programme of choral soundscapes has at its beating heart the musical depiction of the Latvian flatlands in Plainscapes by Pēteris Vasks.
