Highlights include the first recording of Adlers Transfiguration Mass for choir, organ, and brass as well as his Verses from Isaiah for choir, organ, brass, and handbells. Here is a glowing and long-overdue tribute to the sacred choral music of contemporary American composer Samuel Adler, beautifully sung by perhaps Americas finest non-professional chamber choir Performances are impeccable and deeply moving. This group delivers gorgeous, balanced sound and has completely mastered any technical skill you can name. Their ensemble and dynamic subtlety are second to none, including professional choirs. But the best thing about their singing is a kind of utterly rapt, evangelistic spiritual intensity that you simply cant imagine until youve experienced it for yourself.
