Cloud of Unknowing Songs of the Soul the Singer's

Craig Hella Johnson leads Conspirare, soprano Esteli Gomez, baritone David Farwig and the Victoria Bach Festival Orchestra in this first recording of three choral works by Robert Kyr. Exploring the relationship between human and divine love, his cantatas The Cloud of Unknowing and Songs of the Soul transfixed audiences and critics alike when Conspirare premiered them. In a concert review, The Wall Street Journal hailed them as, ''a powerful new achievement in American music that vividly traces a journey from despair to transcendence.''
