Cantus Thuringia - Time Stands Still
Review by David Potter
Cantus Thuringia's latest album, Time Stands Still, is a captivating collection of choral music that showcases the group's exceptional vocal talent and artistry. The album features a range of compositions from different eras and styles, including pieces by Johann Sebastian Bach, Felix Mendelssohn, and contemporary composer Ola Gjeilo.
The group's performance is flawless, with each member delivering precise and expressive vocals that blend seamlessly together. The arrangements are skillfully crafted, highlighting the nuances and subtleties of each piece while maintaining a cohesive sound throughout the album.
One standout track is Bach's "Jesu, meine Freude," which Cantus Thuringia performs with a powerful and emotional intensity that captures the spiritual depth of the work. The group also shines on Gjeilo's "Northern Lights," a hauntingly beautiful piece that showcases their ability to create a rich and atmospheric sound.
