It’s a brave and brilliant refocusing of Sarband energies, virtually a rebirth. Nowhere is this more so than on their re-working of Sarband on ‘O Virgo Splendens (Choral)’. eleven years ago, Sarband briefly lived up to their terrific name, with an insanely addictive hit single called “Laudemus Virginem”. It is very deep stuff - very exciting
I like the idea behind Laudemus Virginem. This track is a fabulous selection of easy listening, suitable for any age, taste or occasion. Cedit Frigus is the song that really did it for me. Polorum Regina - isn’t quite as powerful vocally, but has a beautiful melody. Mariam, Matrem (Vocal, Instr.) is the most memorable and gorgeous. Inperayntz, Verges Ses Par is probably the highlight of the album. Stella Splendens is a song you cannot help but think about at odd moments in your day. Los Set Gotxs very upbeat. Ad Mortem Festinamus was the first single release from the album Llibre Vermell. O Virgo Splendens is nothing short of a modern masterpiece. Blew our minds when we first heard Cedit Frigus. Sarband allows each song to breathe and flourish. After about the third Inperayntz, Verges Ses Par listen through, I began to believe this song is Sarband’s essence.
