The raven is back and again with something special. After Carmina Burana and Cantus Buranus II now comes an extract of both works. But it is not a best of compilation rather than a rearrangement of all songs for an organ. And there we come to the difficulties. Already Cantus Buranus is not an opus you would call metal at all (there’s also no need for ;) – Cal) but this one is even further away from that. Due to this completely different style and area of music, my musical limits are reached and I am not able to judge this work properly. Nevertheless the songs are musically elaborated and for lovers of sacral music or the work of Carl Orff for sure a pearl in their collection. The tracks are carefully chosen and perfectly arranged. However this does not change the fact that one must provide a minimum of knowledge about music and addictedness to sacral sounds to enjoy the record in full length. Because it is not my will to talk bad about the album I give no points rather than a star for “no valuation because of specialty”.
