Karl Jenkins has created
some of the best-loved and mostly
widely played music of the past
decade. With his Adiemus
project, he has cultivated
and delighted musical fans around
the world, and he has sold more
than three million recordings
in fifty countries. Fusing ancient
and contemporary styles, Adiemus
transcends any single musical
genre. This latest Live CD is
the fifth and
long-awaited recording from
Jenkins and Adiemus.
Listeners will recognize many
of the now classic Adiemus
pieces from having heard them
in numerous television commercials
and programs. “In Caelum”
is the main Adiemus
theme and is instantly recognizable
for its distinctive voices,
percussion, and orchestral arrangement.
Other notable selections on
this Live CD include “Cu
Chullain,” “Ceridwen's
Curse,” and “Connla's
Well.” Although “live”
recordings can sometimes be
problematic, every piece on
this CD is exquisitely strong
and can stand alone.
