Description:

This sampler album of excerpts from seven other Anonymous 4 releases is a good introduction for anyone who is unacquainted with the A4's startlingly pure singing and virtually celestial blend. But if you fall under the spell of this outstanding a capella quartet, the present disc will become extraneous because you'll want to own the complete recordings from which it's drawn. If you prefer complete works to samplers, try taking the plunge with "An English Ladymass" or "On Yoolis Night." --Sarah Bryan Miller

5Wonderful  May 11, 2009
If you want to be carried away by the sound of crystal clear voices singng as though the angels were calling to you, buy this album. There is nothing more to say.

5A fresh look at some very old music  Aug 31, 2008
These ladies sing medieval chant. It's usually written in a polyphonic (more than one melody) line that was intended to play off of each other in a perfect unity (strictly avoiding the tri-tone or any other less "holy" intervals).

The result is a carefully arranged, haunting sound that does not use the common harmonies that we are used to today. Chant should be performed with no emphasis given to the individual voice, but with the group as a whole, sounding the praises of God.

Anonymous 4 does a fantastic job of balancing their a-capella sound into one voice. It's a great recording for relaxation.

This item is a gift for a cousin. She really likes this group, and I was able to find a nice selection on Amazon.

5An aural treat for lovers of vocal music  Apr 13, 2007
If you love vocal music these gals are fabulous! This is a best of album, which is always good as an introduction to a new artist. It gives you a taste of their various albums, so you can go ahead and pursue the ones you like. Enjoy!

If you enjoy music that takes you to a different time and place, you will get lost in time with this beautiful work.
