Press release

‘Contemporary music and early music promise the listener not only the same pleasures but also the same problems of listening. Their association in a concert programme should therefore constitute an exciting union of opposites — and this impression is simply confirmed by De Caelis work.'

Yannick Alirol

La Lettre de Musique Nouvelle en Liberté, nr 45, 11/2009

‘Female voices of angelic grace (…). The singers (…) are clearly as one with the angels. Their aerial and light voices are of an incredible homogeneity as they sing of celestial happiness and the ethereal joys contained in their sacred repertoire.’

Xavier Lacavalerie

Télérama 10/2008

‘De Caelis enters into a dialogue with the music of the Middle Ages — the demanding music of the Ars Nova of the 14th century — and with the music of today: we experience such a confrontation as exciting, for in it we see the same taste for experimentation in the two musical worlds as well as a search for things as yet unheard in the relationship between music and text.’

Michèle Tossi

Res Musica, 09/2008

‘These crystalline yet piercing voices contribute to the poetry of the intermingled sacred and profane texts and to the colours of the stained glass windows, reflecting the thousand facets of a spirituality that seeks itself and is confronted with the infinite silence of the celestial spheres’.

Missa Tournai - Monique Parmentier

Res Musica, 06/2008

"The excellent vocal group De Caelis interprets "Vana Sperança" of the composer Enrique Muñoz Rubio. Thought as of a tribute of Francisco Guerrero ( 1528-1599 ) and reusing the text of one of its madrigals, this fascinating piece of music is a very beautiful allegory of past fertilizing the present"

Jérémie Szpirglas

Le Monde de la Musique, 11/2007

"De Caelis asserted himself in the international concert of women ensembles. It takes place beside Anonymous IV, Discantus or Séquentia as their equal - an impression confirmed by this new cd which comes to close the English cycle. The voices seem naturally beautiful and clear… Each voice is recognizable but the ensemble keeps a remarkable homogeneity. The implementation is flawless. There is especially a mark of the ensemble, this sense of the rhythm which gives a striking relief and wich lead the listener to live the music as much in spirit as with the body. It is a way of the most pleasant to make also some musical education in a difficult renowned directory."
