Chant: Music For The Soul

CD-Charts > Music > Chants
from: Decca

Release Date July 01, 2008
I just got this CD and went to play it last night, but through the entire CD, I got a hissing, static like sound. This CD does not work on all CD players. I tried it on my computer and it worked fine, but not my main stereo system. I tried other CDs on my stereo system and they worked ok. Must be the way they recorded it to the CD. Will be going back to Amazon for refund as defective. It should work on all CD players. Manufacturing problem which should have been noticed before releasing it.

Norton Recorded Anthology of Western Music, Fifth Edition, Volume 1: Ancient to Baroque (6 CDs)

CD-Charts > Music > Chants
from: W. W. Norton

Release Date January 01, 2006
The CDs in this set are not packaged in standard jewelboxes nor even in cheap sleeves, but are mounted directly atop a printed surface. As a result, when I purchased the set from my school bookstore, I found that several of the CDs had dried flecks of ink on the data side that made it impossible to play or rip certain tracks. Beware.

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.

Chant II

Release Date October 17, 1995
If you like this type of modern music presented in a unique style with some excellent voices give this a try. the style is not to everyones tast, I'm hooked and my usual preference for music is more like linkin park and evanescence. But i love this in heavy traffic on the way home, it keeps down the road rage without having to listen to archaic religious latin verse.

The Mystery Of Santo Domingo De Silos Gregorian Chant From Spain

CD-Charts > Music > Chants
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 ... Read More:
