        This is a genuinely useful introduction to chant. The carefully prepared, scholarly performances are still alive with feeling and meaning. The recordings, while filled with churchly resonance, are so clear you could take dictation from them. The many selections are highly varied and programmed for contrast, so that, contrary to most people's expectations, this disc will not put you to sleep. The program notes sketch briefly an interesting history of the music, useful for the general listener but not insulting to the specialist. All that's missing is the texts and translations, a strange omission that could spoil the disc for many potential listeners. --Leslie Gerber

        3 out of 5 stars Needs the text and translation!.......2000-06-23

        If this disc came with the text and translation for the chants, I would give it five stars. The description of the history of such chants is a good introduction, and the recording itself is crisp and clear.

        However, if you don't already know a lot about chants or don't know Latin (mine's too rusty), the disc is little more than beautiful singing. If that's all you're after, I'd easily recommend this disc, but the text and translation are important enough to me that their absence is worth two stars.

        Maybe the text and translations are available somewhere on the internet - I haven't checked yet.

                  5 out of 5 stars Towards a New Gregorian Chant.......2000-02-29

                  A wonderful blend of the ancient and modern. Catherine Braslavsky, Thierry Renard, and Joseph Rowe start with Gregorian Chant, add musical instruments (and musical inspiration) from Europe, the Middle East, Africa, and India, and flavor the mixture with their own interpretation of plainchant. The result is sublime. The title loosely translates as "Soul Nourisher" and, after listening, you'll understand why.

                  This is not traditional Gregorian Chant and if you're looking for massed male voices sans accompaniment, you'll be disappointed. Only two thirds of the recording are actually Gregorian; the remainder are the artists' own compositions. For the most part, Braslavsky's voice is the only one you'll hear while Renard and Rowe provide a spare musical backdrop with oud, djembe, tampura, cello, etc. The Eastern influence is striking.

                  Music aside, the recording itself is excellent. I was fortunate enough to hear these three artists perform in Paris at the St. Pierre de Montmartre cathedral in 1999. I can put "Alma Anima" on the player, close my eyes, and find myself magically back in St. Pierre de Montmartre.

                  If you listen to this CD and enjoy it, you'll probably want to get Braslavsky's "Un jour d'entre les jours" (Al Sur ALCD 208) in which she teams with Renard and Rowe and adds Steve Shehan and Gilles Andrieux. On this CD, the mix is reversed with 2/3 of the recording devoted to their own compositions and 1/3 to Gregorian chants. Joseph Rowe told me that he thought the sound quality of this recording was even better than "Alma Anima". I'm not sure I agree but you'll have to be your own judge.
