Editorial Product Review: essential recording:All the world loves Hildegard--and the four women of Anonymous 4 may be the best interpreters of her music since the 12th century. St. Ursula was the legendary daughter of a British king who, with her army of virgin companions, was martyred in Cologne, perhaps in the fifth century; Hildegard wrote these Chants for the Feast of St. Ursula for use in a highly solemn celebration along with other liturgical chants.

Editorial Product Review: essential recording:This classic performance of Haydn's greatest choral masterpiece was beloved tenor Fritz Wunderlich's last recording. He sings all of the arias, but he died before finishing the recitatives, which are here taken by Werner Krenn.

The truth is, Haydn's consistently fresh and unpretentious invention acts as a ...

Violinists Arturo Delmoni and Alexander Romanul join violist Katherine Murdock and cellist Nathaniel Rosen on a blissfully sublime disc of holiday favorites. In addition to the usual suspects ('Joy to the World,' 'It Came upon a Midnight Clear,' 'Silent Night'), the string quartet throws some lesser-heard gems into the mix: 'The Holly and the Ivy,' a hauntingly gorgeous interpretation of 'Veni, veni, Emmanuel,' and the contemporary chorale piece 'Gaudeamus,' arranged here ...
