Good Friday In Jerusalem in Gramophone Magazine


Good Friday In Jerusalem: Medieval Byzantine Chant from the Church of the Holy SepulchreGramophone Magazine’s is out and includes a fantastic new review for our Good Friday In Jerusalem CD!

โ€œIt would be difficult to find a group more steeped in serious musicological research than Cappella Romana, and their discs of music of the Byzantine tradition (mainly medieval chant but also modern, related works) have, as a result, a general sense of quiet elegance and authority. Their recording of music for the Church of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem is no exception, and as such is one that not only stands up as a sound world of unique beauty but as a reference for composers writing into their music an influence that is constantly expanding and changing. โ€ฆ it is hard not feel that the work this group is doing is not only presenting music that has a veneer of inaccessibility in a way that releases its particular beauty but also allowing it to bloom and continue to evolve.โ€ —Caroline Gill, Gramophone
