JUNO AWARD NOMINEE!
"The five Canticles reveal the depth of this composer's great settings for voice… What remains constant is the inventiveness, the subtle lyricism and the rapt intensity of the vocal lines. Here was an extraordinary master of the singer's art… It must be said that the Canadian artists make this music entirely their own, singing with vocal ease and interpretive authority."
- Urjo Kareda,
Classical Music Magazine
