Summary: Chant: Music for the Soul
Comment: This CD is very relaxing to listen to. Unfortunatly there is an imperfection in the CD so it skips on a couple of the sequences near the end.

Summary: A place to take your meditation
Comment: This CD is beautiful and gives one a sense of timelessness. A great way to accompany meditation. A perfect accompaniment to creativity. Visions of nature, and of course great halls and cathedrals with those haunting acoustics! What a treasure.

Customer Rating:

Summary: poor example of the chants
Comment: just not what u'd expect, made purely for compensation with no effort or quality behind the product. choose another if u really love the real chants.

Summary: Sublime
Comment: 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 in Protestant Christian, Buddhist, and Hindu traditions. I would recommend this to anyone interested in an auditory representation of humanity's desire to connect with the Divine, especially someone looking for something that would aid devotion or meditation. This recording is utterly beautiful and conducive to facilitating an individual's pursuit of the Divine, notwithstanding my own less than perfect understanding of the Latin used in the chant.
