Vox Luminis

Straight through the darkness: Biber's requiems
Pain and consolation, stillness and surprise: Biber's requiems do not sound the thunder of the Last Judgement, but fragments of hope, clear lines and unexpectedly soft edges. The worldwide vocal sensation that is Vox Luminis brings the expressive requiem to life. This is baroque without any obscuring embellishments: sober and crystal clear, almost tangibly close and so penetrating that the music pierces straight through the darkness.
