"Cradle Songs"
(Diaphonica Recordings)
The celebrated eight-woman Bay Area vocal ensemble explores a typically polyglot collection of music from Bulgaria, Albania, Georgia, Romania and other points east, songs that all share a common purpose if not language. The combination of lulling melodies and stark, often startling harmonies creates an exquisitely pleasurable frisson. 12/13/09
