4.0 out of 5 stars New creative light on tradtional Orthodox chants, April 6, 2000

By 

Mark King (Atlanta, GA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Divine Rites (Audio CD)

Far from being obscure feminist chants, Divine Rites is actually a unique adaptation of chants familiar to all Orthodox Christians. All the chants on this CD are still in use today, are explicitly Christian, and have always been chanted by men and women alike. This CD's most interesting addition to this musical tradition is the creative and expressive accompaniment and mixing of these enduring melodies, which are thus proven all the more timeless.

Fadia El-Hage's beautiful voice is the perfect instrument to bring this treasure of the Orthodox to a wider audience.

5.0 out of 5 stars An Amazing recording... beyond sublime, February 22, 1999

By

This review is from: Divine Rites (Audio CD)

From the very first note to the last, this CD will take you on an enchanting and trance inducing trip. The vocals of Fadia El Hage are amazing. This is a talent to watch very closely. I just hit the repeat button on my player everytime I play this CD... over and over again. Lighting candles while listening helps...enjoy

4.0 out of 5 stars Great voice!, July 20, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Divine Rites (Audio CD)

I was not quite sure what to expect from this CD having only heard one or two cuts from a friends copy, but what little I heard got me interested enough to take the chance on Vox. I am so glad I did. The vocals on this CD are crystal clear (even though I have no idea what she is saying) and worshipful. If you like chants and clear vocals this CD will do it for you.
