I play this CD all the time now. The price at the time I purchased it online was very reasonable (less than 5 dollars) and the quality of the songs more than meets my expectations.

One caveat: the music is vibrant and intense. One of my friends dislikes the music because he thinks it too "militaristic"--i.e. reminds him of music from the Red Army Choir. I myself appreciate this style, but others might do best to preview listen to the tracks before buying.

I bought this more for its historic information value. I like it, but not as much I like my Divna cds. But the the older style chants are both beautiful and soul-edifying.
