"... contemplative beauty and melancholy ..."
- The New York Times
"There’s something strangely captivating about hearing Jan Garbarek and the Hilliards chase each other across the centuries ...harnesses the generous and accommodating acoustic to bewitching effect ... a pretty seductive formula that still creates a fair measure of magic. You might not want to hear it every day but there will be some days when you’ll want to hear little else."
- Gramophone
"... will please both jazz aficionados and followers of choral music ... the resounding natural reverberation adds to the music (giving) it greater depth and majesty than would be expected from four voices and a saxophone ... sung in various languages, the music carries no overtly religious messages and is not attempting to preach to anyone. Instead, those of any faith or of no faith can appreciate its simple beauty."
- BBC Music
This third album from Norwegian saxophonist Jan Garbarek and Renaissance vocal quartet the Hilliard Ensemble comes after almost two decades of shared experiences, a million-selling debut and international acclaim. The word "beauty" is often used in reviews of this recording; indeed the four voices and saxophone blend beautifully as Garbarek's instrument becomes a fifth "voice," the performances rendered even more luminous amid the acoustics of St. Gerold's monastery in Austria.
