Chant: Music For The Soul

CD-Charts > Music > Vocal Non-Opera
from: Decca

Release Date July 01, 2008
I've been interested in Gregorian chant for at least 35 years. Over the years, I have recordings of the chant on cassette & a couple on CD, but this is by far the best. I purchased it on the the strength of an article in the New York Times in late June/early July about the monastery and the recording of some of their daily chant that they had agreed to do; I almost never purchase things on the strength of the recommendation in an article/review. Clearly, the article was persuasive. This the most supple, sublime performance of Gregorian chant I have ever heard. I am not Catholic, but rather a Lutheran, while at the same time being a student of yoga. This recording speaks to the need to die to oneself in the praise of the Divine as recommended ...

Coming from a family of opera singers, I listened to operatic voices all my life. Paul Potts is a true talent. Hope we hear more from this young man.

CD-Charts > Music > Vocal Non-Opera
by: Josh Groban

Release Date November 20, 2001
The music and songs are wonderful. I have this CD in my car and listen to it over and over. It is especially well done. I am enjoying every song the more I listen to them. "The Prayer" with Charlotte Church is one you can sing to.

Chant

CD-Charts > Music > Vocal Non-Opera
by: Gregorian Chant, The Benedictine Monks of Santo Domingo de Silos

This CD is very pretty. A nice CD to play around Easter time, which I did. The voices blend beautifully making it great for a meditation practice, massage, or even for yoga during asana time or even final relaxation.

The Most Soothing Lullabies In The Universe

CD-Charts > Music > Vocal Non-Opera
from: Denon Records

Release Date April 06, 2004
I was very pleased with this collection. It is simply just beautiful classical music that hasn't been dumbed down for babies, like so many other albums seem to be. It also does NOT have any 'new age' like adaptions, which was a big plus for me personally. My daughter has not had any problems drifting to sleep while it's playing. I would definitely recommend this as a great first CD for your baby!

The Mystery Of Santo Domingo De Silos Gregorian Chant From Spain

CD-Charts > Music > Vocal Non-Opera
from: Deutsche Grammophon

Release Date May 10, 1994
I purchased this version of the monks of Santo Dominto De Silos at the same time I bought the 2008 edition of the Gregorian chant by the Cistercian Monks of Stift Heiligenkreuz (Chant: Music for the Soul). While the effort of the Santo Domingo monks was highly praised when it was released, I fully understand why the version by the Cistercian monks of Stift Heiligenkreuz was so brightly hailed. The Spanish recording seems regimented, in contrast to that of the Austrian Cistercian monks of 2008, who seem quite sublime, un-regimented, and singing only in response to their devotion to God. Even so, this recording by the Spanish monks is clear, pure, and by the books; it is authentic. If you are interested in Gregorian chant, you should have a chant rendition ... Read More:
