Christmas at America's First Cathedral Review!

The Baltimore Sun's music blog "Clef Notes & Drama Queens" recently reviewed the Baltimore Choral Arts Society's new Gothic Records release "Christmas at America's First Cathedral".

From "Tim Smith's Clef Notes & Drama Queens":
"...'Christmas at America's First Cathedral' by our very own Baltimore Choral Arts Society (Gothic Records). This is a souvenir of the 2009 concert at the Baltimore Basilica and comes complete with a DVD of the event. The recording, which captures the warm, reverberant acoustics of that historic space beautifully, offers a program that is generous in providing fresh material.

The imaginative and instantly appealing new works by Rosephayne Powell and James Lee III provide welcome additions to Christmas repertoire. And it's refreshing to have some less obvious, season-appropriate selections by Handel (his other great "Hallelujah" Chorus, from "Judas Maccabeus") and Mendelssohn ("Rise Up" from "St. Paul" makes a cool curtain-raiser).
The chorus and orchestra, led by Tom Hall, sound admirably vibrant. So does soprano soloist Janice Chandler-Eteme."
