Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars Very well presented interpretation of Koukouzelis.......1999-05-05

The greek byzantine choir again does an amazing job of expressing the dynamic splendor of one of the most influential composers of byzantine music. Anyone interested in byzantine music should add this CD to their collection.

4 out of 5 stars One of the most important composers of the 13th century.......1999-02-08

A very good rendition of some of the most important works of Ioannis Papadopoulos Koukouzelis, undoubtly the greatist composer of Greek church music in the 13th century. Most pieces deal with words from St. John's Apocalypose. Powerful, majestic interpretations, full of the splendor of the last years of the Byzantine empire. A strong sense of the feelings of mankind facing God and eternity. One of the best studio recordings of Greek church music (and, actually, one of the very few releases devoted exclusively to Koukouzelis). Highly recomended.
