For a thousand years, Hagia Sophia was the largest domed interior in the world. Its stunning reverberation - of over 11 seconds - is re-created on this recording. The first vocal album ever to be recorded in live virtual acoustics, Lost Voices of Hagia Sophia will transport you back in time to medieval sound and ritual in Constantinople as an aural virtual reality.
Vocal ensemble Cappella Romana combines passion with scholarship in its exploration of early and contemporary music of the Christian East and West. Its name refers to the medieval Greek concept of the Roman oikoumene (inhabited world), which embraced Rome and Western Europe as well as the Byzantine Empire of Constantinople ("New Rome") and its Slavic commonwealth. The acoustics of Hagia Sophia for this recording were synthesized in real time from measurements taken at Hagia Sophia by the Icons of Sound team at Stanford University (iconsofsound.stanford.edu)
