Canticum Canticorum Classical Review Average Rating: (5 out of 5 stars)  A wonderful selection
This is marvellous. Les Voix Baroques here use 6 singers, which means that we get one voice per part in pieces that may be more familiar in full choral versions (the Willan, Walton, and Dunstable can be heard thus on eMusic). As a result, these are intimate performances, with a close and warm recording. I find I prefer this approach, and I think it helps unite what on paper might seem like a diverse programme. Most of the pieces are direct from the Song of Songs but the various approaches to this collection of love poems are represented: as allegory of the love between Christ and church (Mazzocchi), as allegory of the Virgin Mary (Charpentier), as nuptial blessing (Walton), and as sensual drama (Schutz). Highlights for me are the first 2 Schutz pieces (almost operatic at times), the powerful Walton, the delectable Marais passacaglia, and the warm and gentle Dunstable.
