Description:Lux by Voces8, released 29 January 2015. This version of Lux comes as a 1xCD. -
2015 release from the British a cappella octet, a luminous selection of pieces spanning over 400 years: From Thomas Tallis and Gregorio Allegri to Massive Attack ('Teardrop') and Ben Folds Five ('The Luckiest'). LUX (the Latin for "light") brings hope, banishes darkness and nurtures both the body and the spirit - it has inspired composers from the earliest times until the present day. Features works by two of the most talked about composers of our time: Norway's Ola Gjeilo and Will Todd (UK). There is something inherently comforting about the sound of unaccompanied voices blended in harmony. Saxophone, cello, harp and water glasses make otherworldly additions to several tracks.

I bought this CD on the basis of hearing one track on BBC R3's morning programme. I subsequently went online and was able to listen to 20-30 excerpts of the other tracks. Sufficient to convince me that the CD would make excellent listening. It is also by a professional vocal chamber group (as their name suggests there are only 8 of them - 2 x Soprano, 2 x Countertenor, 2 x Tenor, 1 x Baritone, 1 x Bass) which I admire enormously. My choir (rather larger) has performed some of the tracks on the CD, but several were new (might suggest them to our MD!), so it was interesting to compare their sound and interpretation to ours. All in all an excellent CD which I would highly recommend to anyone who enjoys quality SATB music.

Im Radio habe ich den Track "Stars" gehört und mich gleich in ihn verliebt. Daraufhin habe ich mir gleich die CD bestellt und nicht bereut. Ich hätte früher nicht gedacht, dass mich Chorgesänge mal so begeistern würde. Alle Tracks find ich absolut hörenswert. Die Songauswahl und Arrangements sind großartig. Zum größtenteil Accapella mit sehr guten Sängerinnen und Sängern. Von mir aus hätten einige Songs länger sein können. Also wer schöne Chorgesänge mag sollte sich die CD zulegen.
