Editorial Review:

Amazon.com:
Thanks to good marketing, good cover art, and good luck, this disc probably has sold more copies than most other recordings of Gregorian chant put together. It's often quipped that most of those discs have been listened to exactly once and put away--to the puzzlement of many musicians and critics, who point out that there are more beautiful, more varied performances by professional singers available. Yet the singing of these Spanish Benedictines has a special quality that probably explains this disc's popularity--a reverent serenity that no doubt stems from the fact that the monks are actually praying, not just performing. Granted, Chant can become a bit monotonous with repeated listening, but it really gives you the sense of devotion that has always been the purpose of "Gregorian" chant. If this recording (ahem) enchants you at first, wonderful. If you get bored with it later, don't give up--there has been an extraordinary variety of styles and sounds over the 1,500-year history of plainchant, so go exploring with Anonymous 4, Ensemble Gilles Binchois, Sequentia, or Ensemble Organum. You won't be sorry. --Matthew Westphal

Average Rating: out of 5 stars

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Benedictine Chant
This CD is very pretty. A nice CD to play around Easter time, which I did. The voices blend beautifully making it great for a meditation practice, massage, or even for yoga during asana time or even final relaxation.


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Chant
Great CD, best music to study with, sleep with, or just relax. And it's Holy too! Great gift, very classic.


Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Chant
The CD was received on time and in excellent condition. I use the CD in the evenings to slow me down and get me in a relaxed mood.


Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Chant
It is a true to life portrail of the medieval prayer form.

Some things are ageless.


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - PEACE FROM WITHIN
I can't understand most of the latin words in these chants but the spirituality, harmony and the "music" in the monks' voices are refreshing to the soul. I know that several monks sing but you basically hear one voice. I would suggest that a pocket size book with the translation of each chant should accompany each CD.
