New York Polyphony is rapidly gaining a reputation as one of the finest classical vocal ensembles of a new generation. Fusing elegant vocalism with expert ensemble singing, the four men deliver dynamic, historically-informed performances in a range of styles. From the simplicity of plainchant to the dense chromaticism of contemporary works, the New York Polyphony sound is strong, unified and distinctive.
Their debut CD, I sing the birth, was released on Avie Records in 2007. The disc-- an intimate meditation on the Christmas season-- became a favorite of critics in both the U.S. and the U.K., garnering unanimous praise. Gramophone Magazine called the disc "one of the seasons' best", citing New York Polyphony's "expert musicianship and fine vocal resource." BBC Music Magazine named I sing the birth 'Editor's Christmas Choice' for 2007. Calling it "...a disc for all seasons," London's Classic FM Magazine awarded the CD 5 stars-its highest rating.
