This sampler album of excerpts from seven other Anonymous 4 releases is a good introduction for anyone who is unacquainted with the A4's startlingly pure singing and virtually celestial blend. But if you fall under the spell of this outstanding a capella quartet, the present disc will become extraneous because you'll want to own the complete recordings from which it's drawn. If you prefer complete works to samplers, try taking the plunge with "An English Ladymass" or "On Yoolis Night." --Sarah Bryan Miller

An aural treat for lovers of vocal music.......2007-04-14

If you love vocal music these gals are fabulous! This is a best of album, which is always good as an introduction to a new artist. It gives you a taste of their various albums, so you can go ahead and pursue the ones you like. Enjoy!

Enchanting.......2007-01-10

If you enjoy music that takes you to a different time and place, you will get lost in time with this beautiful work.

If Angels Ever Recorded A CD.......2006-03-16

Four female voices have never blended together so perfectly and beautifully as do those of the 'Anonymous 4.' Their CD titled, 'Portrait' contains a selection of tracks from seven other previous CD's, kind of a "Best Of" you might say.

If angels ever came down from heaven to record a CD this is what they would sound like.

Harmonious, Celestial, Purifying and Eternal.

another exquisite performance.......2006-02-27

This amazing quartette is so talented. The Christmas cd reminds me of Christmas 50 years ago in rural England where I grew up. It contains the only rendition of The Holly and the Ivy I have heard that actually does the carol justice.

Anonymous, but in no way generic.......2001-02-04

I learned about this quartet though a review in Stereophile magazine. Although they don't publish a lot of reviews, I've had exceptionally good luck with their past picks and have been able to branch out successfully in new musical directions as a result.

These four women are virtuoso female vocalists, hauntingly pure of voice. They perform music from centuries ago in the same type of setting that it was originally performed in, with stunning results. I'm generally not one for "religious" material (this is the first recording of this nature I've ever bought), but this music goes so far back in time that it sounds more primal than Christian overall.

A refreshing change when you're in the right mood, and something that can relax even you type A personalities out there (and you *know* who you are :) , I can suggest this one without reserve. You'll be adding a nice, quiet corner to your collection, and you'll probably wind up visiting it more than you ever imagined.

Good double CD at a good price.......2005-06-22

2 CD for only 6$ plus shipping and handling is a good price. The quality and the choices of tunes are good and the quality of recording is good too. The orchestras, the singers and the choirs are good too. So, if the titles of tunes please you, it is a good 2-CD boxset to buy. If you are an American, I am sure that you know all these tunes. If you are not an American, you will say to yourself : "I think that I have heard this song somewhere."

Charmed, I'm sure.......2006-05-06

It may not be entirely popular with the counter-tenor (or alto, or whatever they chose to call themselves) circuit to say this, but Kowalski's claim to having a true--as in not falsetto--alto voice comes across as a rather germane observation after having heard the current range of songbirds.

In this double CD set--that includes the wonderfully reliable Baroque and more modern, 19th century, German composers--he lustily polishes off the pieces with much the same texture one would expect of deliciously supple saddle leather.

There isn't the faintest hint of shrillness--thus the above-mentioned naturalness--as he swells, ebbs, hushes and...coos? Well, yes. The enveloping timber of his voice does actually lend itself to the idea of cooing; one often feels gently lulled by a benevolent tide that goes somewhere familiar. One is even tempted to issue forth gushing hiperbole after hearing Kowalski's rendering of Handel's "Ombra mai fu" or Gluck's "J'ai perdu mon Euridice", but shan't because it's generally better not to.

Technically speaking Kowalski is quite capable of doing what the occasion requires, though not with the fireworky cockiness that other singers exhibit. If anything could be found wanting in this delightful recompilation it is his somewhat hopelessly well-mannered approach. Others may not share this opinion, but this reviewer often found himself inwardly urging Kowalski to show a little more of the dashing waistcoat he discreetly sports under the severe black jacket of the cover. After all, the Baroque was a most daring epoch indeed, wasn't it?

All in all, this CD is thoroughly listenable and will not disappoint those who are on chummy terms with this period of music nor those who wish to venture in.
