From the earliest days of Perotin, to contemporary composers, Cantus shows us how composers always innovate but also stand on the shoulders of those who havecome before, whose work has illuminated the path ahead. (Valerie Kahler, 2013)

And there was variety achieved simply through their choices of works to be sung, e.g.: two works commemorating the sinking of war boats, one by the folk-pop composer Gordon Lightfoot, Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald, and one by the choral composer Veljo Tormis, Incantatio maris aestuosi (Incantation for a stormy sea). /---/ These young men sing with clarity, excellent diction, enthusiasm, yea, even passion, spiced frequently with gentle accents from portable percussion instruments, and large smiles Mary Wallace Davidson, 2012-07-06)

Among the modern pieces, I was particularly riveted by ‘Kaksikpühendus’, a stirring cry for freedom by Veljo Tormis, one of the great Estonian composers. Indian film composer AR Rahman (of Slumdog Millionaire fame) contributes ‘Zikr’, a robust setting of a Sufi (Muslim) prayer. /---/ Sound quality is outstanding, and we get Cantus’s customary deluxe (and complete) booklet. Fellow Cantus addicts, here’s your latest “fix” (KOOB, 2013)
