5.0 out of 5 stars The Beauty of the Male Voice, May 3, 2006

By	M. Childress "wine goblet" (NYC) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I was fortunate to hear The Male Choir of St. Petersburg perform at the Peter and Paul Cathedral in Saint Petersburg, and was stunned by the power and beauty of their song. The director, aware that the deep, resonate voices struck a chord within each member of the audience, held the final note of each song until it echoed from the rafters. The songs are usually traditional Russian songs, but are not religious chants, as many people seem to expect - one song, called "O My Field" is an ode to a farmer's plot of ground. I recommend this album, a great opportunity to revel in the beauty of the male voice.

4.0 out of 5 stars mp3 download warning, June 21, 2008

By	Anonymus - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Male Choir of St. Petersburg (MP3 Download)

Liked the album very much, however, there is a problem with it if you download it. One the tracks (11/20) is corrupted on the Amazon's servers. This means that even if you download it multiple times the corruption is still there. I tried this with a very helpful customer service agent. He said that I would get an e-mail soon when the issue has been resolved. I will update as soon as I find out when the track has been updated.

Since receiving this recording. I have shared this delightful and masterful selection of sacred and secular songs, to a number of friends. The basso profundo and the angelic voice of the counter-tenor on several of the tracks were, breathtaking and humbling.
Anyone who looks for inspiring and touching music hadn't look any further.
