This carefully assembled collection represents the vision, artistry, and remarkable scope of the Grammy Award-winning Chanticleer has demonstrated over the course of a history that began in 1978 and has encompassed some 30 recordings. In a collection that features three never before recored, but often requested Chanticleer interpretations of Mahler's Ich bin der Welt abhanden gekommen, Gershwin's Summertime and Crouch's Lullaby, The Best of Chanticleer reveals one of the most distinctive, stirring, and indeed important voices in music today.
