4.0 out of 5 stars
Lovely moments,
This review is from: Alma Mater: Featuring The Voice of Pope Benedict XVI Deluxe Edition (Audio CD)
I wanted to give this five stars and praise it as a masterpiece, if only to counteract some of the lousy reviews it's been receiving in the press. But it's not a masterpiece -- it's just pretty good. There are definitely some lovely moments on this disc, my favorites being the wonderful pieces featuring the Moroccan (and Muslim) composer Nour Eddine. The remaining compositions are well-produced but seem to lack inspiration. The Pope's singing voice is pleasant, but his speaking voice seems terribly out of place on this disc. The packaging, including a book with translations, is quite nice. But the DVD is a slight documentary, not even thirty minutes long and not at all insightful. You won't be missing much if you purchase the CD-only package. All in all, it's an enjoyable release, but I feel that it could have been -- and should have been -- much better.

The music from this album moves the spirit. You can close your eyes and be transported to another world. The words of the Holy Father call all of mankind to come in closer union with God and themselves.

I cannot say anything more. I love this CD. Are you stressed? Listen to this. Are you worried? Let the prayer of the music melt it as you join your cares to the Cross. Play this. Pray this.
