Internationally acclaimed conductor, founder and composer Javier Busto directs his 18-strong women's choir in their 2nd excellent CD, 'Live.' Created in 1995 with the goal of enjoying the music written for female choirs, which has been achieved to their complete satisfaction, Kanta now has among their repertoire a number of beautiful pieces created for them. These include Christian sacred music by Busto, including the 4 movements of the 'Missa Augusta,' and his 'Alma Redemptoris Mater,' 'Responsorio de Navidad,' and 'Agur Maria.' Eva Ugalde's 'Tximeletak,' 'Uraren Besotik' and 'Annbel Lee,' some with piano accompaniment, are also lovely, as is Junkal Guerrero's 'Ave Maria.' These 20 lovely, soaring, mostly a cappella songs, highlighted by the bright, sweet, clear sound of KCK, are a treat to listen to. Close your eyes, settle back
