Singer Pur
Singer Pur are the most wonderful vocal ensemble with a blend of voices that are out of this world. They also have a fun repetoire which can include modern classical, medieval, folk songs and jazz. CC first became aware of them when he heard them on an album they made with jazz clarinetist Michael Riessler called Ahi Vata. He then found they were playing in the next town. Seeing them live was very special and he became a huge fan.

Recently they recorded 4 short new pieces by Wolfgang Rihm and CC thought they were some of the most beautiful music he had ever heard. Well Singer Pur have a new album and it contains the final 3 pieces in the series by Rihm. The album, called Memento is awesome - seek it out.
