Title: Exquisite, culturally broad, delightful to ears and soul
Review: This performance by Jeffrey Skidmore's Ex Cathedra is perhaps the very best of many purchases of liturgically related music that we have made. I write not as one who is musically trained, but just one who knows when he hears something that is absolutely excellent. One can discern in these pieces the development of Church music throughout the ages, the distinctive influence of the Baroque period, and the strong Latin American flavor derived from the Spanish and native cultures. It is simply uplifting, and we don't tire of listening to it again and again. I would not have known about this recording, or even Ex Cathedra, had I not heard the first track, "Hanaq pachap kusikuynin" on London's Classic FM station on the internet. I am surprised that this work is not yet more popular in here in the States. Certainly it deserves to be.
