This wonderful CD is one that will be around a long,long time! I use it to go to sleep at night. The lull of the rhythm of the chants will make you be calm and you will be in the moment. It helps with anxiety and the moments your mind goes wild with all kinds of thoughts. Just turn it on and enjoy! This is an experience worth having! Free Music Review: I love this

Hit: 5 Stars
This is amazingly beautiful. Imagine walking into Chartres cathedral on a rainy day. The sheer beauty and of the place overwhelms you with the feeling that you are in the presence of God. Then, from somewhere, music begins. It is lovely and otherworldly. The voices rise and fall, bringing goosebumps to your skin. It is something beyond time and beyond human knowledge.
That's the experience of this music.
Worth every penny and more.

Kudos to the engineers for a beautifully resonant recording in the Stift Heiligenkreuz. The abbey, visited by Benedict XVI who has praised publicly the beauty of its liturgical chant, has created a consummately attractive collection of Gregorian melody that's become a hot international item. The singing itself, compared with Solesmes, is thicker and less spontaneous; the divine interior pulse of Gregorian chant seems often lost by over-consideration. The natural freedom of the singing at Solesmes is a benchmark, and often a spoiler when listening to other recordings; Solesmes' chant, as a musical art, exhibits a spiritual perfection. Chant from the Abbeys of En Calcat, St Maurice and St Maur and others, in its own way bears this kindred spiritual freedom rooted in Solesmes. The devotion of the monks of Heiligenkreuz is apparent, pure and strong, and naturally recommends this disc; musically, which is to say, spiritually, a stream different from Solesmes runs here. Differences between the two Orders although branches of the same tree of Benedict, and inevitable national traditions also figure. It's disappointing the Italian pronunciation of ecclesiastical Latin is transgressed at Heiligenkreuz, where a mixed classical pronunciation is used to chant the liturgical texts. A comparison of the Heiligenkreuz Compline with the Vespers and Compline recording from Solesmes is instructive musically and spiritually, and worth pursuing for those interested. This disc remains a solid effort that truthfully introduces a unique sacred music to countless people who know nothing of it, and will mostly please those who appreciate Gregorian chant. Get it with confidence. And check out as well the discs of chant from Solesmes.
