4.0 out of 5 stars high quality chant and polyphony, April 29, 2008

This review is from: Quintessence of Chant (Audio CD)

This is a relatively high quality chant recording from 1995 in Germany in collaboration with a TV show, with 2 CDs and some polyphonic settings as well. It features some seasonal hymns--not just the usual chant "propers" for each Mass--for Advent/ChristMass, Easter, Pentecost, and the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary (including a collection of infrequently recorded Marian chant hymns). The set includes 2 CDs (of over 57 minutes each and 35 total tracks) with a 71 page booklet with commentary and lyrics in four languages: Latin, English, French, and German. An above average chant release, this is definitely not your cheap Canadian rerelease of a burned LP recorded in the 1950s with a reel-to-reel recorder. From the back cover: "This recording contains beautiful examples of Gregorian chant essential to the celebration of the four principal feasts of the liturgical year."
