If you're like me you may not be too enthralled by listening to religious music. Saying that though, you are missing out on something that is very relaxing. You can put this album on and just listen to it, or play it as background music whilst doing something else (as I do).
Many people like me have found that listening to Gregorian Chant (named after Pope Gregory the Great), has a very relaxing influence and seems to help to de-stress. So, even if you are not religious you can still appreciate something to help cope with todays hectic lifestyles. This has been recorded by the Cistercian monks of Stift Heiligenkreuz, which is apparently in the Vienna Woods and was founded in 1133. What they have produced is something ...

Chantby: Cistercian Monks Of Stift Heiligenkreuz May 19, 2008 |

This Cistercian abbey has a continous history since its foundation. My only criticsm is that according to the Rule Cistercians should chant in the Ambrosian mode - very slow & ponderous, and this CD is a little too fast. One of the plus points is that Cistercians do not have choir boys so the overall effect is a deeper more inspiring chant.

The Best Gregorian Chant Album In The World... Ever!by: Monks & Choir Boys Of Downside Abbey April 19, 2004 |

My wife (for whom I bought it) says that this CD set is very restful and soothing and I have to say that I quite like to hear the singing in the background whilst I slave away at the computer. And, of course, the great thing is that we got two CDs for about the price of one. Excellent!

I have often listened to church music thinking to myself is it all manifested in the same place and released under different titles? However this selection 'hits the spot' with some great renditions of worshipful music and if you like to listen to part singing then cd 1 is excellent. There also some lovely descants some of which i had not heard before, an inspiring selection. Excellent.

Great hymns, great choir, great singing. Why not 5 stars? Well, I feel that towards the beginning of this disc there are moments when the performance is somewhat wooden. I don't know if it's beacuse of the grandness of the choir and the abbey or if it's because you couldn't hear the choirboys (later in the disc you can hear them and it is pure grace), but it is only forever so slightly marred by that.

I'd heard for a very long time that plainsong / Gregorian chants were supposed to have extremely relaxing qualities, but only very recently bought this CD to see (hear!) for myself. I was extremely impressed - incredibly calming and restful. The pace of this type of music almost seems hard wired into our chill-out zone. I can only say I am very happy indeed with the CD - a pleasure to listen to: breath slowly and regularly and let yourself be calmed

There are two versions of this album, this single disc release and a `special edition' 2CD set. It makes a change to hear a collection of familiar music sung by a baritone rather than the more popular tenor and Bryn fans should be pleased with the selection of music, it's a good range of styles, with the emphasis on classical and opera excerpts plus a few traditional folk style songs. Bryn's voice works well on the opera favourites like Bizet's Toreador song (lots of rolling r's here) and sounds good with Andrea Bocelli on The Pearl Fishers duet `Au Fond du temple saint'. The folk songs and traditional like `Swing Low, Sweet Chariot' and `Danny Boy' are well suited to the deep baritone voice, and the `Ave Maria' duet with Sissel ... Read More: >>More Details |
