study with dialogos
One of the most beautiful discs of medieval music to be heard for a very long time. This is an event.
Répertoire
Dialogos is impressive, mixing radiant vocalism and virile expressiveness.
Diapason

Dernières nouvelles d'Alsace
It is an art focused on a dramatisation of a story made of flesh and blood, rich with strong images. This deep, intelligent and sensitive work, perfectly coordinated with a very original theme, is very coherent from the beginning to the end and makes us totally enthusiastic.
Crescendo
In the wake of the magnificent recording titled Terra Adriatica, the latest offering by Katarina Livljanic, who has a deep knowledge of the Beneventan repertory is centred on her research into this liturgy from the south of Italy. With a renovated and exclusively male group, featuring researchers such as Benjamin Bagby (Sequentia) the result is more than thought provoking.

Breath taking voices, thanks to the marvellous beauty one can only reach, live…
