Title: Excellent performances create a moving soundscape
Review: I enjoy a variety of music but have not ventured into choral works. I heard a sampling of Eric Whitacre's Cloudburst on NPR while driving home during the fall. Call it a coincidence of timing, but I happened to be facing the sunset as the sun was coming down into a set of clouds that turned the horizon into liquid gold just as the music started. Admittedly, it had been a long day, the commute wasn't that great, and I had been going through some personally stressful ordeals, but Eric's music was totally captivating and uplifting in a way I have rarely experienced. I just got the CD yesterday and spent the morning listening to it. I'm not particular overwhelmed with a couple of the arrangements including the change in the title track Cloudburst, but overall, the CD has fulfilled my expectations as a moving and beautifully performed artwork. I'm looking forward to experiencing more of Eric Whitacre's work in the future.
