Comments:
Information from owned CD. Kathy Geisler, who studied with Joseph Iadone, specializes herself in "sculpting" classical music using computers. Up to now she recorded five CDs for Well Tempered Productions (Bach, Handel, this one, Vivaldi and Baroque oboe) using a similar technique. I believe it should be considered experimental and assessed as such; personnally, emotion is not there, but the technique is in its infancy so maybe in next 3-4 years we will have an ideal Ockeghem's mass (I mean an HIP) with synthethised perfect human voices.....
