Teldec, 2000 Gorgeous choral voices surrounding you I hesitated to buy this disc until a friend told me he knew one of the members of Chanticleer; then again I also had nothing like it in my collection. The sound is rich and resonant. You should know it is recorded realistically, in a variety of soundfields, i.e. sometimes there is a processional from front to rear, sometimes choruses on upper left/right, or from all around you, depending on the ...             Medieval Christmas9 reviews Joel Cohen, Boston Camarata Nonesuch, 1991 Deeply Endearing I was 7 years old and excited as all get out for Christmas when my stepfather brought this album into our family, and it immediately became a classic. This is by far my favorite music to listen to during christmas time. While carols become slightly stale as you grow older, the melodies and performance from this album are timeless, enchanting, historic and carry deep meaning. Now that I'm 33, I ...             A to Z of Classical Music4 reviews Various, Johann Sebastian Bach, ... Naxos, 2000 Great Tracks -- Great Value -- Great Book, Who Can Complain? Naxos is a fabulous label -- you will not get samples of the best classical music through the ages at no better price. These tracks are as good as any of the over-priced major orchestras and in some cases better. This is a great starter set for a beginner or anyone who just wants to "taste" the classics. If you prefer Opera I would suggest the A to Z of Opera -- most of the tracks on A to Z ...             On Yoolis Night: Medieval Carols & Motets12 reviews Anonymous 4, Marsha Genensky, ... Harmonia Mundi France., 1993 Great alternatives to 'Silent Night'! Buy It! `On Yoolis Night' performed by the quartet, Anonymous 4 is another collection of works dedicated to the worship of the Virgin Mary from medieval England. Unlike `An English Ladymass' and `a Lammas Ladymass', these are more like `incidental' music for the Christmas season or, as the subtitle states, `medieval carols & motets'. Thus, these do not comprise a complete mass and there is very little ...             Sacred21 reviews Alma Bazel Androzzo, Anonymous, ... Razor & Tie, 2005 The three best members The best musical thing about this album is that the three best singers who have been part of the Irish tenors are together, John McDermott, Finbar Wright, and (the stunningly magnificent voice of) Anthony Kearns. In addition, persons of faith will find this album very prayerful and inspiring. I love listening to this CD doing nothing else but sitting quietly and listening. When it finishes I ...             Catholic Latin Classics28 reviews Richard Yeo, Gregorio Allegri, ... Gia Publications, 2000 You Can't Keep a Good Thing Down Being a 30 year old Catholic, I can truly appreciate the beauty of Tradition captured in these stirring masterpieces. After completing a Humanities course in Medieval and Renaissance Art during my last year at a State Univ. I was blown away by what I realized was a forgotten and neglected treasure of Catholicism - Its Sacred Music, Art, and Architecture. This CD hits it out of the park with a ...             Lost in Meditation: Meditative Gregorian Chants20 reviews Gregorian Chant Cobra Entertainment LLC, 1994 Priceless----Again I play this CD every freaking day on my home theatre system from my windows media player playlist. I play it before I do anything else for the day, and just after my morning meditation, and metaphysical readings (of yogananda and Paul Brunton). It makes me feel like I'm on a constant vacation somewhere in a monastry, by a beautiful serene lake that has pretty white swans floating on it. ...             Noël: Carols & Chants for Christmas - Anonymous 4 (4 CD Set)6 reviews Codex Las Huelgas Anonymous, English Anonymous, ... Harmonia Mundi, 2005 The CD set to get for Christmas I will just reiterate that this is a compilation of 4 existing CDs- Legends of St. Nicholas, Wolcum Yule, On Yoolis Night, and A Star in the East. If you don't own any of them, or even if you just own one of them, I would strongly suggest buying this set, since you'll save a lot of money from buying each disc individually. Anonymous 4 performs all the music flawlessly. If you're looking for ...             Gregorian Chants: The Best of the Benedictine Monks of St. Michael's16 reviews Denis Stevens Cobra Entertainment LLC, 2009 Gregorian Chants The album is everything I wanted and more. It illustrates the beauty of Gregorian Chant             Chant42 reviews Gregorian Chant, The Benedictine Monks of Santo Domingo de Silos Angel Records, 1994 A gift from God! This was no fluke of marketing, advertising, or anything else! God had made this a top of the pop music charts hit, and unlike ALL the other entries on those same hit music lists before or since, this one inspires, calms, and heals the soul! Singing along with this CD initiates a spiritual event unlike any in the modern rites (post Vatican 2) of the Catholic Church. The only comparable match I ...             Codex Faenza: Instrumental Music of the Early 15th Century5 reviews Anonymous, Codex Faenza Anonymous, ... Naxos, 1998 Essential to any early music collection When I purchased this album, I was expecting it to be more akin to the other music performed by the Ensemble Unicorn. I was expecting quick and lively, music akin to the Spanish Troubadour tunes and Las Cantigas de Santa Maria. I was wrong, and I was disappointed at first. I quickly changed my mind after giving the entire album a listen, and was enchanted. If you like the quick, lively medieval ...             Ave Maria2 reviews Gregorian Chant, Benedictine Monks of Santo Domingo de Silos Jade Records, 1995 Ave Maria Gregorian Chant CD Great CD. My wife and I listen to it almost daily. We even use it for prayer sessions. Also the product was in perfect condition and and was as advertised. We're totaly satified.             Sing Ye Heavens - Hymns for All Time12 reviews Cambridge Singers, John Rutter Collegium, 2000 Another Rutter Keeper! Rutter has won many fans throughout the world for his passionate, creative yet tasteful contributions to church music. Here is a hymn collection with several traditional choices along with Rutter originals. Several comprise Rutter's remakes, which is most cases are very diginified and not at all distractive to the thrust of the original. The orchestration is superb, and the Cambridge Singers of ...             Chanticleer: A Portrait4 reviews Chanticleer, Ignacio Jerusalem, ... Teldec, 2003 A treasury As you can tell from the samples, the music here is amazing and covers a wide territory. It is less obvious that much of this is available on other CDs. I am confident, for example, that "We Shall Walk Through the Valley In Peace" is the same track that you will find on their phenomenal and highly recommended gospel collection, _Where the Sun Shall Never Go Down_, and I see a number of ...             Salve Regina: Gregorian Chant21 reviews Gregorian Chant, Benedictine Monks of the Abbey of St. Maurice & St. Maur of the Abbey Philips, 1990 Brings back memories of Catholic High Mass It has been more than 40 years since I listened to Gregorian chant and I had forgotten how much I loved it. When I was a young child it was still the practice of the Catholic Church to chant the entire Mass for special holy days and other occasions. I never enjoyed attending Mass "except" these. The chanting was mesmerizing and the tonality so clean. I had the same reaction when I heard this ...             Christmas With the Trapp Family Singers4 reviews The Trapp Family Deutsche Grammophon, 2004 A new musical Christmas tradition This recording was my first experience with the Trapp Family Singers (other than knowing the story from The Sound of Music). I cannot state how pleasently surprised I was. First of all, the technical quality of the recording is extraordinary. The selections were originally mastered between 1951 - 1953 by Deutsche Grammophon. Yet, despite the early dates, they sound like they were recorded ...             Legends of St. Nicholas: Medieval Chant & Polyphony14 reviews Anonymous 4, Gregorian Chant, ... Harmonia Mundi Fr., 1999 Excellent Alternative to 'Good Saint Nick'. 'Legends of St. Nicholas' and 'A Star in the East' are both collections of medieval Christmas music. Both are based heavily on Latin chants. The first has some old English lyrics and the second is based on both original Hungarian material and material imported into Hungary from Greece and other centers of Eastern Christianity. If you are considering one or the other, I find the 'Legends of St. ...             Chant II10 reviews Gregorian Chant, Ismael Fernandez de la Cuesta, ... Angel Records, 1995 efficaciously relaxing This is exactly what I was looking for. I now have some music to play at work that is soothing and keeps me focused. It also keeps me grounded as to what is really important in life. Highly recommend it!!             Mysteria: Gregorian Chants10 reviews Chanticleer Teldec, 1995 Truely the best... ...CD of Gregorian Chant (other than that recorded by our local abbey) that I have in my collection. The purity of pronounciation, the precision of timing and phrasing is beyond compare. Whether a lover of chant, or a first time listener, I recommend you give this a try. Turn out the lights, light some candles, burn some incense and you will be transported to another, far more peaceful and ...             Gregorian Chant, Christmas Chants Gregorian Chant, Choir of the Abbey of Hautecombe, ...
