  • Critic's Pick 1
    Critic’s Pick …1 A Spotless Rose (FOOTPRINT Records FRCD-060) Sofi a Vokalensemble, Bengt Ollén conductor 99 any of you, I hope, share my enthusiasm for this year’s Olympic Games. I was particularly struck this year by the men and women’s gymnastics, where the competitors are evaluated not only on the difficulty of their individual routines, but Malso on the elegance with which they execute their routine. One of the things I most admire about these performances is the level of gracefulness that the judges expect of their final landing. Gymnasts, after performing their myriad jumps, leaps, and flips, are then required to land without faltering! The descents between moves, and particularly the final landing, are critical to a successful performance. This same gracefulness is expected of choral groups, but instead of landings, we call them cadences. The Sofia Vokalensemble masters such acrobatic routines, and performs with a level of sophistication, elegance, and nuance that make things sound easy to the listener. Furthermore, they have a superior understanding of phrasing and pitch-perfect cadences. Reviewed by The recording ‘A Spotless Rose’, features mainly a cappella works for the Advent season, featuring soprano Jeanette Kohn, violinist Bartoscz Cajier, and organist Henrik Ariestrand. Jonathan Slawson Founder and conductor Bengt Ollén leads the internally acclaimed ensemble, recipient of the 2012 Journalist European Grand Prix for Choral Singing, the 2009 Grand Prix at the International Choral Festival in Norway, and the 2008 Grand Prix in Italian Gorizia, among many others. In simple terms, I offer my highest praise for this recording.
