Norwegian Soloists Choir, et al.,
Lament: Works by Hagen, Asheim, & Nordheim (2020). I'm listening to a FLAC 5.0 download; it's also available on SACD. Wow! This is a program you'd expect to hear on Morten Lindberg's 2L label, and even though they didn't adopt the 2L sound, exactly, this is still
much more immersive (and on the first piece, for choir, electronics, and percussion solo, more downright
discrete) than anything else I can recall from the BIS catalogue. Lots of "extended technique" here--shouting/speaking/whispering, etc., in addition to singing and chanting--but it's always fascinating, never gimmicky or off-putting. If you like any of the Norske Jentekor stuff on 2L, or Nordic Affect's
H (e) a r on Sono Luminus, this will be right up your alley. I'm keeping this one in rotation for awhile.
The Norwegian Soloists’ Choir and Grete Pedersen have made acclaimed recordings of music spanning a millennium – from chants by Hildegard of Bingen (1098 – 1179) to
