castle-lionOne thing I have learned. . .when a new CD by The Interior Castle shows up, drop everything and listen!

The Interior Castle is made of five members of the Mazzei family from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania: Francine, Theresa, Loretta, and Michael (all brother and sisters), and their Mom, Edith.

With such exquisite five-part harmonies, they take on classical standards like And the Glory of the Lord by George Frederick Handel; Latin hymns such as Adeste Fidelis and O Sanctissima, Italian songs like Dormi Non Piangere, and original composition like Holy Child and the title track, The Lion of the Tribe of Judah.

This is yet another CD that I enjoy in my car nice and loud. The instrumentation on the Interior Castle's CD's is superb, and the harmonies are perfect. Not a note out of place. As a musician, I know what it sounds like if one voice is off even just slightly. It's like petting a dog the wrong way. That does not happen on this or any of the Castle's albums. The harmonies are absolutely perfect, according to my ears.
