As with the history of art, the Vatican has played an important role in fostering the creation of music; and in writing music for the Catholic Church's rituals, composers like Palestrina and Monteverdi became cornerstones in the development of Western music. So it's fitting that the Vatican has decided to celebrate the Great Jubilee 2000--its commemoration of the 2,000th anniversary of the birth of Christ--with a collection of music. Magnificat includes performances of very familiar pieces of sacred music (Franck's "Panis angelicus," Gounod's "Ave Maria," and Mozart's "Ave verum," one of the most sublime pieces ever written) as well as some newly commissioned works: the "Cantico del giubileo" of Ennio Morricone (commissioned for Magnificat) and Jean-Paul Lécot's official hymn for the Jubilee. There are a couple of appearances by José Carreras, while opera star Montserrat Caballé sings the "Ave Maria" from Verdi's Otello (a secular work to be sure, but a deeply touching expression of piety). Other performers include Renato Bruson, Pietro Ballo, the Choir and Orchestra of Saint Cecilia's in Rome, Marco Frisina, and more. The message binding all these selections is one of spirituality and peace for the world. This special edition of Magnificat includes a booklet with photos and Italian texts. --Sarah Chin

5 out of 5 stars Deliciously ethereal collection.......2006-12-28

This is one of the most beautiful collections of choral music I've ever heard, and as a choir singer since childhood, I've heard a lot. The soloists are fantastic; their reputations certainly precede them in these performances. I found this CD particularly beautiful at Christmastime, but it's not necessarilly seasonal music.

The highlights of the CD (and those songs I listened to three times in a row, are Paola Cecchi's performances of Llama de Amor Viva and Figlio Mio. Her voice is soft and smooth and absolutely delicious. I heartily recommend this CD to those who enjoy choral music, latin litergy, and incredible harmony.

5 out of 5 stars Music for the Soul.......2002-07-29

I am listening to this CD this moment and it is truly Music for the Soul. Caballe has always been my favorite, and she is again compelling on this CD. I am delighted to be a new fan of Paula Cecchi on track 11, Figlio Mio. I will look for other music by her. She has a beautiful voice. I recommend this CD to all.

4 out of 5 stars Very spiritual.......2001-01-20

If you like sacred music, you will enjoy this solemn recording.
