"A fascinating and well-done new recording. The chants include a 12th-century transcription of a Hebrew chant written down by a former Norman monk and found in Egypt, the oldest specimen of written Jewish music currently known." --The Chicago Tribune
"It was only a matter of time before someone thought of marketing what may be the most ancient form of chant still practiced, in the Jewish tradition. And now someone has, with Chants Mystiques, a survey of Hebrew liturgical music from the distant past to the present. It offers Hebrew chants from a variety of times and places (Yemen, Spain, Vienna). It has enough unique and inspired moments to lift it well above the ordinary. Alberto Mizrahi displays a virtuosic command of various styles of Jewish liturgical music. Chorale Mystique sings splendidly under Mr. Lazar's direction." --The New York Times
