Customer Reviews
Amazing music, amazing variety
This is my favorite CD for 2001. It has, first of all, amazing variety. The music spans some 4 centuries, and encompasses all kinds of styles. From Verdi's aggresive Dies Irae to Preisner's haunting Lacrimosa(worth the price of the CD alone), there is something here for whatever mood you are in. I am not usually one to buy samplers; I prefer entire works given the continuity and attention required. However, in this case, it works wonderfully, and the pacing of the selections is quite satisfying.
I have sung quite a few of these pieces, and the performances and recordings are all excellent, although one or two have a fairly audible hiss. The audio quality is on occasion distracting, but it is still overall good. I would not let that deter you from buying this, however. If you have never heard a mass or if you are an aficionado of "Kirie's" and "Gloria's", I would recommend this CD without reservation.
A beautiful variety
This has got 2 be 1 of my fav. cd's of all time. The variety & arrangment seems 2 be very well planned. While all of the songs are very beautiful & breathtaking, my 2 favs are the Requiem for My Friend by Preisner & the Dies Irae immediately following it. If you ever run across the Preisner Requiem I would highly recommend that you buy it b/c it is soooo expressive & emotional.
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.
