Produced since 2004 by GRAMMY(tm) Award-winning producer Steve Barnett, Cappella Romana performs ''music of purity and radiance'' (Gramophone) in concerts of ''luminous beauty'' (Washington Post). Appearances in New York, Chicago, L.A., London, Athens, Utrecht, and many others. With Good Friday In Jerusalem, Cappella Romana's intrepid male ensemble features Byzantine cantors from Greece, the UK, and the US, with Stelios Kontakiotis from Tinos, Greece, as principal soloist. Together they perform these chants with captivating modal inflections that underscore the deep pathos and personal drama of Good Friday. These profound selections for 8th and 9th century ceremonies invoke an elaborateliturgy in Jerusalem's most sacred Christian sites. Recorded in the splendid Stanford Memorial Church and sung in Byzantine Greek.
