Ora Singers: Sanctissima

London's very own ORA Singers, under the talented direction of Suzi Digby, have blessed us with "Sanctissima: Vespers and Benediction for the Feast of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary." And trust me, this album is a religious experience in more ways than one. From the moment you press play, you are transported to a celestial realm where the harmonies are as heavenly as the Virgin Mary herself. The ORA Singers effortlessly blend ancient and modern choral music, creating a sound that is truly transcendent. Tracks like "Ave Maris Stella" and "Salve Regina" showcase the choir's impeccable vocal control and emotive depth. You can almost feel the goosebumps forming as their voices soar to the rafters, filling the space with a divine energy. But it's not just about the vocals here. The instrumental arrangements, featuring everything from organ to violin, add an extra layer of richness to the sound, creating a lush sonic tapestry that is simply irresistible. In a world where chaos reigns supreme, ORA Singers and Suzi Digby have given us a much-needed moment of peace and reflection with "Sanctissima." So light a candle, pour yourself a glass of wine, and let the music wash over you. You won't regret it.
