5 out of 5 stars Gregorian Chants: The Best of the Benedictine Monks of St. Michael's.......2007-01-11

The CD was in perfect shape, was shipped very promptly and I have enjoyed listening to it - especially when feeling stressed.

The is one CD that is calming to everyone even an overactive, over excited puppy.

2 out of 5 stars DOMINE LABIA MEA APERIES.......2006-05-08

"Lord Open my Lips......"

I would suggest that anyone REALLY interested in PURE, GREGORIAN CHANT to access the following Carthusian Link:

[...]

You will hear Gregorian Chants as you have never heard before.
As a former Trappist Monk, where the Choir Monks sang the Divine Office each day - a total of about 7 hours - and in the Cistercian Chant, the CARTHUSIAN CHANT is by far the most pure of the two traditional chants. The Carthusians do NOT utilize any musical instruments as is used in some Trappist Communities and Benedictine Communities.

This recording is a rather poor rendition, but seems to please some listeners. For those purists among you, access the above site.

The Carthusian Gregorian Chant has its own renditions. You will notice whenever the Nuns or Monks are chanting the 'GLORIA' that the tempo is drastically reduced, and not rushed thru.

Background noises in this recording make it difficult to really appreciate the Chant.

In the Carthusian Chants - especially those from La Grande Chartreuse, France, the diction is crisp, clear and every Latin Word is distinguishable.

1 out of 5 stars It's a stinker!!.......2006-03-13

The cover art is good, but the music is horrible! This is a REALLY bad recording!

2 out of 5 stars Unbiased reponse to Caesarmagnus.......2005-04-22

Agreed, the fan IS there, but I must admit they are actually singing well in the actual Solesmes style (based on these samples). I have heard superb chant and frighteningly bad chant. This is not as bad as it gets I assure you. Try to find something from a Seminary or Monastery.

5 out of 5 stars clearing up a discrepancy.......2005-12-20

The play list is correct, the one with the ability to listen to clips. This CD has 14 tracks, beginning with "Puer natus est nobis" (the Introit) and ending with "Magnificat anima mea Dominum." The list that says ON THIS CD is a totally different list of chants. I do not know what it is doing on this page.
There is no Mozart. There are sparse credits in the liner notes. The recording appears to be of a group calling itself Capella Gregoriana, although nothing is said about them. Predominantly chant, there are times when the selections move to motets, the natural outgrowth of chant, being simutaneous independent plain songs as it were, combined to form a melodious and rhythmic whole much as partner songs do. Highly recommended, this is an excellent budget album. Just be sure that you understand that you are getting the 14 tracks that you can listen to, not the list that says other tracks are on the CD. As for the Christmas feel, it is certainly reverent and soothing. It is not festive. If you like chant, you will appreciate this album. I certainly do. If you are looking for festive type Christmas music, find another source.

5 out of 5 stars One of the best I've heard.......2004-03-09

Not technically Gregorian, because of some polyphony. But this is one of the best selections of this kind of music that I've heard. Compare to expensive monastery or convert CDs, and others, and this is one you put on the CD changer more than the rest. Found it in a bargain bin at Fry's. Amazing CD.

5 out of 5 stars Beautiful music.......2002-12-29

Beautiful musical rendition of Christmas music. Soothing and lilting, it'll help you get centered or reconnected or whatever it is you need for stress relief. A fantastic CD at a great price!

4 out of 5 stars Do the holidays get you stressed?.......2000-12-05

This is a beautiful collection of soothing Christmas chants and motets...Put this in your CD player and you'll have trouble getting upset about the person who just cut you off for the last parking space at the mall! An excellent-quality recording for an amazing price...

4 out of 5 stars Who record this? Capella Gregoriana?.......2000-09-01

There is an interesting descrepancy in who recorded these - the listing says: "Performed by Schola Hungarica Conducted by László Dobszay" while the cd itself simply says "Capella Gregoriana". I suspect the listing is more accurate given the overall quality of this recording. Other than a phrase in Procedentem Sponsum where I find the high notes to be less than ideal, the recording has voices clearly used to chant with careful unisons that keeps the words understandable. The first cut Dies est laetitia is my favorite. This is definately an acceptable album of traditional Christmas music - very traditional.

4 out of 5 stars Gregorian Chant!.......2007-01-07

Before getting this CD, I had only previously had one other chant CD. I had listened to the CD so many times though that it had become too familiar for me so I sought out this CD and it has replaced my last CD quite nicely. The Monks of St. Peter's Abbey are probably my favorite Gregorian Choir and if you're into this kind of music I can't imagine why you wouldn't like this as well. Also, if this your first time purchasing a chant CD, know that its not really dance-like and I usually just play it in the background as I am doing my everyday activities. Great stuff!

      1 out of 5 stars Horrible recording quality.......2006-03-02

      Absolutely terrible on the ears recording-wise, and the choir doesn't sound that great if you try to disregard the recording. I'm glad I only spent a couple dollars on it. Please, don't bother.

      1 out of 5 stars Musically good, but recording quality is horrid........1999-11-05

      I like the "Chant" CD from the Benedictine Monks and thought this might be along the same lines. Musically it is, it has that same wonderful tonality and the sound of the voices is just as delightful - assuming you can get over the recording itself.

      It sounds to me like someone made a CD from and old abused vinyl record using a very bad pickup cartridge which mistracks and distorts the loud high frequencies. The distortions are UNBEARABLE to the point that I could not even stand to finish listening to the CD.

      I know it is only $4.00 but if you buy this, be sure to play it on a really lousy player, this way the recording defects will be masked by the playback defects. If you have a good stereo or good headphones, forget it.

      5 out of 5 stars EXCELLENT! PERFECT!.......1999-09-06

      This CD is great for the student who is under stress and/or pressure. The songs realx you and are easy to listen too. They're not distracting. If you like this, I also recommend Instrumental Moods and Pure Moods.

      5 out of 5 stars Beautiful Music!.......2006-12-20

      The previous reviewer is correct - this isn't new music, so if you already have these albums, do not buy this set.

      However, if you don't have these albums (or have never heard of the Anonymous 4), this is a BEAUTIFUL collection of their Christmas music. These women have amazing voices and, on top of that, a wonderful way of bringing to life music that had been thought dead since the Middle Ages. I am particularly fond of their music about St. Nicholas, being deeply interested in medieval hagiography. You simply must add this collection to your personal stash of music!

      5 out of 5 stars Compilation of 4 existing CDs.......2006-12-15

      This is a great compilation of Anonymous 4 Christmas music - but it is NOT new. It simply boxes 4 existing CDs together. The CDs are Legends of St. Nicholas, Wolcum Yule, On Yoolis Night, and A Star in the East. If you already have those CDs, there is nothing new here.

          5 out of 5 stars A Treasury of Gregorian Chants.......2002-01-11

          It's great. Just what I was looking for. Clear sounding, very meditative. Thank you.

          5 out of 5 stars Great selection of chants!.......2001-11-07

          This is a well-integrated selection of Gregorian chants, with great use of a boy's choir and chapel bells on several tracks. I never tire of it, and find it wonderfully relaxing and reassuring at the end of the day.

          4 out of 5 stars A Gregorian Chant Medley!.......2000-10-02

          The Monks of L'Calcat do an outstanding job with the classic Gregorian Chants hymns, however the Exultet sounds a bit 'grainy' and may need to be digitally reworked, if possible.

          For anyone interested in Gregorian Chant music, I would certainly recommend that they add this reasonably priced CD to their collection.
