Product Description

Continuing its longstanding relationship with the choir of the abbey of Santo Domingo de Silos, Jade Music is releasing Gregorian Chant: The Definitive Collection.

The album regroups a selection of the most beautiful and well-known pieces of chant from the Benedictine Monks of Santo Domingo de Silos. It is ideal for listeners wanting to discover music created in the 12th century music that continues to be passed from generation to generation.

The album includes pieces from the celebrated Mass of the Angels and Requiem Mass among other notable performances. The singing has a special quality a reverent serenity that stems from the fact that the monks are actually praying, not just performing. Recorded in the great Romanesque church of the abbey, the acoustic ambience is perfectly suited to the sung prayer and the exceeding quality of their beautiful art.

Customer Reviews

WOW!5
Definitely one of the best Gregorian Chant records out there! Authentic, True, and Solemn. It looks like a "Best of" album at first but it's much more than that. It has a core, a red thread, and a stand-alone capacity. The voices of Silos have never been better.

Absolutely beautiful music that leaves you speechless!5
If you are a Catholic looking for a decent gregorian chant CD to listen to this is the one. The music is so beautiful you feel like you are in mass! Music honestly can't get any better than this! This IS the best gregorian CD I have ever listened to and I think you would agree with me if you heard it as well!

Be warned: a dreadful organ accompaniment1
My title says it all: possibly decent singing ruined by utterly inappropriate, intrusive organ noodling.
