Notes & Reviews:

For their new album touched, Calmus has chosen songs and lieder from several centuries on themes that never fail to touch the heart and have arranged them for their own forces with the utmost skill. This recording is in a class of its own: Sting stands alongside Henry Purcell, Michael Jackson next to Adriano Banchieri, and Elton John beside Monty Python.
