Barbara Furtuna is an all-male a cappella Choral quartet based on the Island of Corsica. Their chant is shaped by immoderate love for their country which they carry in their hearts, and which encourages them to continue their musical adventure with the same passion as when they were children. 'In Santa Pace,' their second album, refers to the way they sing and make their way through life, without rush and with a determination to enjoy every moment. Their repertoire is actually two repertoires, sacred and secular, remaining intimately linked, each nourishing the other. The 13 cuts segue seamlessly into one another and are sung mostly in Italian, although the liner notes are presented in French and English. 'Anghjulina,' 'O Salutaris Hostia,' 'Maria le sette spade,' 'Lux Aeterna,' the lively 'Veni O Bella' (lightly accompanied), 'S'he discitatu,' 'Suda Sangue,' the soaring 'Kyrie Eleison,' the lovely 'Lamentu chi ti cerca' (lightly accompanied), the plaintive 'Plavi putevi mora,' the haunting 'Tota pulchra es Maria,' the beautiful 'L'innamurati' and 'L'oru' (lightly accompanied), are all wonderful. We aren't sure of the translation of the lyrics for most of these songs, but the feeling comes through loud and clear. The powerful 'In Santa Pace' will touch and move you!
