Gilbertson / Crossing Born CD

Contemporary music needn't sacrifice order and aesthetic appeal, even when it deals with complex issues. A glowing example of this is BORN: THE MUSIC OF EDIE HILL AND MICHAEL GILBERTSON, with conductor Donald Nally leading GRAMMY-winning professional chamber choir The Crossing on a breathtakingly beautiful expedition into themes of extinctions, relationships and their complexities, loss, and love. Throughout this splendid amalgamation of Hill's and Gilbertson's ethereal, energetic, raw, and impactful compositions, the nuance of Nally's conducting, and The Crossing's superb expressiveness are ever-present. Singing that is transcendent and authentic.
