Customer Rating: Summary: Truly Classic Comment: A truly outstanding CD! This album is graced with inspirational authentic Catholic classics like 'O Sanctissima' and 'Adoramus Te, Christe'. The two versions of 'Tantum Ergo' are absolutely soul stirring especially Track 19. Unlike the Cathedral Singers' other works entitled 'Catholic _ _ _ Classics' that include modern tunes, this CD is authentically classic and authentically Catholic from beginning to end. If you're looking for authenticity in your Catholic music you will absolutely enjoy every note sung in this CD! Guaranteed.
Customer Rating: Summary: Amazing Comment: I so love the Catholic Latin Classics. we now have the Latin Mass in the City where I live, so it's great to listen to this CD on the way to Latin Mass :-)
Customer Rating: Summary: A MUST HAVE!! Comment: This cd is the absolute best. One review states that it is monotonous, but I only half agree. It is true that some of the songs sound the same but it does not get boring no matter how many times you listen to it. These hymns are the most beautiful I have heard. I listen to this cd constantly and have had it for about 3 months and I am not tired of it at all. The only problem I see is that Bach's ave Maria gets "blasty" in the stereo. It is the recording. It sounds like they had the microphone too close or something. Even then this cd is the best. If you are looking for latin hymns, this is it.
Customer Rating: Summary: Angelic Comment: A sweet, inspiring, grand sound of angelic voices. Soothing chords that take one back to a rich high-church feel. This is what church music is supposed to be - the remedy to the inane hand-clapping choruses that seem to dominate church music these days. Chorus music may (debatable) have a function but it can never compete for the rich grandeur of these classics. Perfect for mood music or for worship - both private and corporate.
Customer Rating: Summary: Catholic music as it was meant to be Comment: With the release of Pope Benedict XIV's Motu Proprio and the Summurum Pontificum, I hope we will see a return of such beautiful music to the Mass. The "Panis Angelicus", by tenor John Eskola, is sublime and the "Adoremus Te, Christe", brings tears to my eyes, as does the "Ave Verum Corpus".
I can't say enough about this cd. I highly recommend it for those who love traditional Roman Catholic mass music.
