Amazon.co.uk This performance of The Play of Daniel is the most effective recreation of the sound and spirit, the dramatic essence, of a medieval mystery play ever put on disc. The liturgical drama was an important part of the medieval church's need to keep the people in touch with the great and awesome doctrinal mysteries. It also gave an opportunity for musical expression of a different kind to men and children who normally sang the liturgy in the cathedrals and monastery schools. This play contains some of the most beautiful music found in any medieval source, and it's performed here with exceptional singers--men, women, and children--who achieve a perfect synthesis between the play's dramatic requirements and the music's expressive function. This disc is one of a kind; a treasure, one of the gems of the early music catalog. --David Vernier
