Customer Reviews
A rich mystical experience.. East meets West
I picked up this CD on a whim, I happen to be an ardent fan of religious music (I myself am Byzantine Catholic) especially the varying types of ancient chant,both Eastern (Orthodox) and Western. This CD absolutely blew me away. The best I can describe it is a fusion of sophisticated western polyphony with the Eastern "Greek" tonal style. Absolutely amazing. This is a must have CD!
Welcome to the Past
I must commend Marcel Peres for his devotion to reviving music in the manner which it was intended. This recording of Corsican Chant is the most convincing and truly uplifting music I have heard in my lifetime... I shall not despair in humanity any longer! Listen to the rich, dense polyphony and clear voices of the traditional singers as they flawlessly reconstruct music of the 16th and 17th centuries. When you open this CD, you will open a time capsule.
Truly spiritual
The (anonymous) composer(s) use pitches and meters much different than what is typically heard in 16-17th century chant. Listeners don't have to be religious to feel the spirituality and the beauty of this music.
