Customer Reviews

It delivers!
Naturally, one must posess a predisposition for this music appreciation. That said, when played to restore your inner-energy...it works. The specific selection and sequence provide that balance best meant to reenergize. Normally, I'm not 'that' into this music-presentation. For some reason at the time of perusing, it seemed logical to give it a try. Ultimately, I am very glad that I did...powerful stuff, indeed.

this item IS your money's worth of masterworks
this recording is worth the money to buy, especially since it has two c.d.s inside. the songs are indeed fine music, many of the masterworks which you "need" to have. but it is neither the finest recording, nor is it a collection of the finest performances. i am in a near-spectacular choral group which performs these works, and i tend to get overly emotionally involved with grand art. so it is especially helpful, that like the other reviewer said, you can consider playing this through an audio player at your workplace.

Great for the office
This stays in my stereo at work, and is perfect for "those days."
These CD's are excellent resources for those who don't realize some of the musical heritage has been lost by the Church and needs to be reclaimed.
