Reviews:
Stunningly beautiful
I bought this album a few years ago and have always loved it. My favorite song from the album is track 8: "Ave Maria Stella". The song's rhythym echos the rhythym of breathing while asleep. Perhaps an unusual compliment, but no other song has struck me as soothing.
beautiful chant, uneven quality
As another reviewer stated---it's chant and nothing more. I was disappointed with several tracks (especially the first one), which have a very waivering quality that is obviously a "mastering" problem (first copyright listed is 1975, which tells you something). There was not a good flow from one track to the next, which made the listening experience rather jarring at times. Unless one is interested in collecting recordings of chant that has the original monastery bells in the background and feels that authenticity is hallmarked with "rough" recording, this one is not for you.
A nice CD
While I can't understand a word of this CD (its all in Latin) I love it. I really can't tell its a Christmas CD, but I associate it with that season. I usually listen to this while I am reading the Bible or the Book of Common Prayer. When I put this on and light a few candles, I think I'm back in the Middle Ages in a Monastery! This CD is inexpensive to boot!
