WTJU’s Ralph Graves reviews the Taylor Festival Choir and Robert Taylor’s recording, So Hallow’d the Time: Christmas Music by Brian Galante and Stephen Paulus:
“This release features two world premiere recordings: Brian Galante’s “So Hallow’d the Time,” and Stephen Paulus’ “Christmas Dances.” They couldn’t be in better hands. Robert Taylor’s ensemble, the Taylor Festival Choir sings with a clean, translucent sound that resonates with the deep spirituality of these works. … If the holiday season is an especially trying time for you, give this release a listen. Choral music focused on the spiritual center of the season, sung with beauty and sensitivity, instilling a sense of tranquility. I love it.”
