With its chronological, cultural, and ethnic diversity of composers, this recording testifies to the timeless power of the Golden Age of poetry. Selections from Catullus, Vergil, and Horace are performed by the St. Louis Chamber Chorus under the direction of Philip Barnes.
Reviews
There are some lovely musical discoveries waiting to be made on Rome's Golden Poets. The balance and tuning are generally excellent; the choice of subject matter refreshing, something different that's not already available in 10 different versions on major labels. Barnes' program notes are, as usual, well-written and informative.
Sarah Bryan Miller, St. Louis Post-Dispatch
This beautiful and sensitive recording is a treasure, and it is well worth the extra introduction and preparation needed to make it suitable for the normal Latin class more familiar with MTV than with motets.
