Summary: they do sound like angels
Comment: This group Anonymous 4 sings the finest interpretations of early, middle and late English and European compositions. They do indeed sound like they might be angels. The talent encompassed in the recordings of this excellent quartet are without peer.

Summary: "They all sound the same?????"
Comment: I am responding to Peter Vogel's review that could well discourage potential buyers of this beautiful music. I realize that Peter went on to point out many compelling nuances. However, I have had albums that "all sounded the same"--and this is definitely NOT one of them. For anyone who thinks so, I would invite him/her to examine the perturbations of his/her own soul, asking whether they really require that music should swing wildly from one extreme to another just to feel that they are truly "alive." These songs only "sound the same" if you think that the colors of a rainbow all "look the same" because they shimmer & meld into one another even as you look and try to fix them in your memory. Do not hesitate to buy this beautiful album. I'm glad I did.

Summary: Great!!!
Comment: Amazing is the word for this record more than Gloryland. I have been touched by the lyrics and the voices. Coming from a different cultural background allows to understand very well the root information valid for everyone in the songs, hymns, etc they have selected for this record.
I will wait for the next record!

Editorial Reviews:
|
Having left medieval chant and somewhat later polyphony behind and moved, musically, across the Atlantic with their last CD (American Angels), the women of Anonymous 4 are still exploring. For their move up a few centuries, their impeccable tonal purity remains, but a decidedly American twang has been added to some of the folksier, Southern mountain-based tunes and revival songs. It's as accurate and enchanting as everything else they do. Their sense of history, the when and where of the music they perform, manages to avoid academic stuffiness: this music communicates. Hymns, ballads, and revival songs make up Gloryland, and the 4 have added superb instrumentalists--Darol Anger and Mike Marshall on fiddles, mandolins, and guitars--to the mix on about half the selections. Some of the songs are begun in simple solfege* (fa, sol, la, mi, etc.) and then are sung with the actual text. Some are presented as duets or solos, and "I'm on My Journey Home" is sung by all four women; some are simple, others delightfully rich harmonically. Irresistible. --Robert Levine * Often called "shape-note" singing because the tones were frequently notated in differently shaped symbols for teaching purposes (fa = triangle, sol = circle, etc.).
