Awards and reviews
July 2009
Katarina Livljanic's work with her ensemble Dialogos has been consistently impressive, musically and musicologically, and this new disc… imaginatively connecting the liturgical traditions of Fleury and Winchester, is no exception. …the fine qualities of Dialogos... include their close attention to text and their full, rich sound.

What marks out this recording is the improvisational quality the four female voices bring to elaborating, reconstructing and sometimes frankly inventing the material. The music is most unlikely to have been sung only by high voices, more usually by men, yet the tonal quality is alluring and the sequence convincing.
