LA MUSIQUE DE LA BIBLE REVELEE (VOLUME 3)
Alienor CD AL 1051 (originally Foundation Roi David 803-C)
This recording was originally released as a cassette by Mme. Haïk-Vantoura's Foundation Roi David. In time,
it was picked up by the Alienor label and published as a CD.
Volume 3 and Cantique
des cantiques de Salomon were recorded at the same time and place: just before or after
they were premiered publicly in a sacred music concert series in Paris (1986). It was at the time of their premiere
that Mme. Haïk-Vantoura's work was featured on National Public Radio's Morning Edition (Tape #861029, "Song
of Songs", taken from the October 29, 1986 broadcast). |
|
Unquestionably, Volume 3 and Cantique des cantiques de Salomon are the best-produced of those
recordings directly supervised by Mme. Haïk-Vantoura. This recording compares in variety with Volume 1 and in sensitivity with Volume
2. Indeed, the vocal quality here is even more "historically informed"
than that of Volume 2 (vibrant, but without
vibrato, following the testimony of early sources regarding the nature of the Levitical chant).
A brief excerpt from this recording has recently been featured in the film The Gospel of John by Visual
Bible International (2003). The opening verses of Psalm 121 immediately follow the narrative of Jesus' healing
of the cripple at the pool (John 5:19ff). |
