4.0 out of 5 stars A Gregorian Chant Medley!, October 1, 2000

By 

Robert S. Grosse (Morristown, NJ United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: A Treasury of Gregorian Chants (Audio CD)

The Monks of L'Calcat do an outstanding job with the classic Gregorian Chants hymns, however the Exultet sounds a bit 'grainy' and may need to be digitally reworked, if possible.

For anyone interested in Gregorian Chant music, I would certainly recommend that they add this reasonably priced CD to their collection.

This is a well-integrated selection of Gregorian chants, with great use of a boy's choir and chapel bells on several tracks. I never tire of it, and find it wonderfully relaxing and reassuring at the end of the day.
