Press Clipping

An intense fascination rises from the four female voices. The world of medieval music seems much closer to us. Emotion rises, wonder comes, cultural dialogues are reinvented. The success of the concert at the Festival of Zamora is a moving one and marks an important moment in the short story of the festival.

"Medieval vocal hypnosis". The four singers enchanted the audience. They produced some quasi-hypnotical passages during which one closes one’s eyes to be better carried away to another dimension.

"Pure art". Katarina Livljanic has constructed a musically irreproachable latticework of 11th century French and English monastic chant. This concert produces moments of great beauty. The four female voices are perfectly shaped with a very refined technique.

As usual with Dialogos, we are taken on a hypnotic voyage toward the Middle Ages, driven by music that often seems to come from another planet.
