Beautifully sung but badly produced Jan 12 2004
Format:Audio CD
I have nothing but praise for the performance of Dzintars, a Latvian women's chorus, but I am disappointed in how badly this project has been put together. First of all, it is unclear beforehand exactly what is on this CD. I was hoping for a program of traditional folk songs from this corner of the world (which has an amazing wealth of folk music). It turns out to be a mixture of traditional and modern, which is fine - but not what I really wanted. The titles are all given in English, but the chorus sings (thankfully) in Latvian. There is an acoompanying booklet, but it has little useful information and there are no texts and translations. What were the producers thinking??? A program of sung music in a foreign language MUST have texts and translations. The music is lovely, but who knows what they are singing about? The listener has no access to anything beyond pretty sounds. The producers of this CD, Rykodisc, deserve the blame for this botched release.

Absolutely Gorgeous Mar 11 2003
Format:Audio CD
I heard one of the tracks from this album on a sampler CD that I have since lost <sniff!>, and I was so completely enchanted I hunted down this CD. I wasn't disappointed. This is some of the most heartbreakingly beautiful choral music I have ever encountered-- and after six years it still hasn't gone stale on me. If you like choral music at all (maybe even if you don't), buy this album.

I still love this cd! July 21 1999
By A Customer
Format:Audio CD
I have had this album for a year now, and I am still just as amazed at it as I was when I peeled it out of its plastic wrap and set it in my cd player the first time. I can't put this music on and go wash dishes or sort laundry... I must sit and close my eyes and listen. It makes me want to go and buy a set of expensive headphones. This is a wonderful album, which I will force all of my friends to listen to, and which I strongly recommend to anyone who likes to listen to music.
