| About this CD | The conductor Ruggero Luigi Pitton tells in the
booklet: "I have sung to holy Mary for many years: now I have reached my
deepest will: to sing Mary in her wonderful earth adventure, to tell her life
that follows the one of her son. It is the story of the mother, based
on sacred and religious texts, dressed by the harmoies of ancient and
comtemporary composers..." Fré Thissen pointed me to this cd. Thank you very much! |
