3.0 out of 5 stars
Needs the text and translation!, June 22, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Gloria In Excelsis Deo: Chant, Hymns And Sequences (National Public Radio Milestones Of The Millennium) (Audio CD)
If this disc came with the text and translation for the chants, I would give it five stars. The description of the history of such chants is a good introduction, and the recording itself is crisp and clear.
However, if you don't already know a lot about chants or don't know Latin (mine's too rusty), the disc is little more than beautiful singing. If that's all you're after, I'd easily recommend this disc, but the text and translation are important enough to me that their absence is worth two stars.
Maybe the text and translations are available somewhere on the internet - I haven't checked yet.
