Summary: Beautiful music
Comment: I heard this CD playing at a friend's home and ordered it the next day. I have enjoyed listening to it repeatedly and find it powerfully moving and beautiful.
Customer Rating:
Summary: It's as good as everyone says it is!
Comment: If I were Richard Einhorn, reading all these laudatory reviews, I would be wary. Could this work really be as good as everyone is saying? And, even so, will people still have the same high regard for it fifty years from now?
Yes and yes!
This Voices of Light oratorio is a modern masterwork. Film music only rarely gets this good; I am thinking of Corligliano's "The Red Violin" and Vaughan Williams' "Sinfonia Antartica." But this music is more deeply affecting emotionally than either, I think. And... perhaps it really isn't film music as it stands apart from the Dreyer film quite well.
Well done, Richard Einhorn, well done! I look forward to hearing your other works...

Summary: One of my favorites
Comment: The first time I'd heard this was in 2000, I think. It was being played on a local radio station at about 6am and I was absolutely hooked. I intend to buy this again after posting this review but this time I won't let any friends borrow it!
Customer Rating:
Summary: OUTSTANDING
Comment: This music, especially in conjunction with the film "The Passion of Joan of Arc" is both moving and hauntingly The Passion of Joan of Arc (Criterion Collection Spine #62)Richard Einhorn: Voices Of Lightmemorable. Simply put, I highly recommend it.
