"Poulenc's Stabat Mater, Litanies a la Vierge Noire, and Quatre Motets pour un Temps de Penitence are performed by beautifully prepared English choirs (plus the BBC Philharmonic in the Stabat Mater). The performances are first-rate; picture and sound quality are excellent. The disc includes an interesting documentary on Black Madonnas and a virtual visit to Rocamadour (where Poulenc underwent a religious experience relevant to the music on this program). Get this one."

"Then, this is the DVD for you.

Take heed of what the other review says, as its going to be quite an experience. In a way, this is as inspiring as Bach's music and as it is composed in modern time so the mediacy is stronger. And you just have to listen for yourself to see how good these Choirs from Cambridge are singing. Other than the sound, the sights are spectacular and the photography is excellent."
