Mycale: Mycale: The Book of Angels Volume 13 [#7378] Get ready for a whole new approach to Masada music! Expressive and passionate, Basya Schecter, Ayelet Rose Gottlieb, Malika Zarra and Sofia Rei Koutsovitis are four of the most creative vocalists around. Each the leader of a dynamic band of their own, they come together here in an intimate a cappella setting to interpret eleven songs from Zorn's remarkable Book of Angels. With lyrics in Hebrew, Yiddish, Ladino, French and Arabic drawn from Rumi, Fernando Pessoa, The Hebrew Bible and more, the Masada vocal project is perhaps the most hauntingly beautiful installments in the entire Angels series. Dynamic and evocative New Jewish Music from four powerful women vocalists!
Thinking of The Last Supper and Frammenti del Sappho, it looks very exiting !

It does look good!
Nice to see something different done with Masada music, I would love it if more risks were taken!
Look forward to it.

Looks like this has a release date in January 2010. Tuesday, January 26, precisely. Unless you live in Europe where Orkhestra ( www.orkhestra.fr/) get Tzadik records sooner.

I gave this a couple of spins last night. I like it more than I thought I would (not being a giant fan of a capella or female vox in particular). I'm looking forward to seeing them in a few weeks.

After hearing some previews of Mycale, I was kinda nonplussed. I may pick it up at some point though.

The concept was interesting enough for me to buy it but I was unsure if I'd actually like it. I have a love/hate thing with vocalists in general, particularly a capella, but I've enjoyed this album so far.

I like the unique arrangements from the Masada material by Mycale. Sounds new & interesting. Btw, donĀ“t miss the hidden linernotes behind the CD.
