Customer Reviews:

4 out of 5 stars Slightly disappointing.......1999-04-09

I was disappointed. I bought this after the incredible recording of Maddalena ai piedi di Cristo, thinking that it was going to be at the same level. Alas, the composition itself is much less remarkable, and it is not as well sung as Maddalena. Congiu and Lootens both do a relatively good job, but even at their best they can't compare to, say, Kiehr. Kohler sings very much like his teacher Jacobs himself, and I don't like that style. To me it sounds excessively deep-chested, effeminate and wobbly. When I say I disapprove of the STYLE, I mean it - I don't like Scholl either, for the same reason. Finally, Martyn Hill failed to impress me in this recording, even though I heard many other admirable recordings with him.
