This review is from: Learning about Gregorian Chant (Audio CD)

When I was in Music School at Stetson University, the recordings of choice of Gregorian chant were by the monks at Solesmes. I now teach a course called Music of the World's Religions and when I came across this cd on Amazon, I jumped at the chance. Not only is it an outstanding performance of chant by some of the very best, but on top of that you get a lecture about history and performance practice. What more could a music history prof ask for? This cd is well recorded, easy to understand and the tracks are arranged so that one may pick a subject to demonstrate. Add to that a very reasonable price and there you have it-an almost perfect cd for the occasion!
