Biography

Editorial Reviews

Many recordings of Gregorian chant are performed by monks. That kind of authenticity is valuable, certainly, but the music takes on a whole new meaning when it's performed by a professional choir. Chanticleer's beautifully blended and richly rounded sound gives these endless streams of melody an almost sensual quality. And why shouldn't this music be spiritually ardent and aurally alluring? Listened to out of its religious context, chant can be appreciated for its musical qualities: the gentle undulation of the melodies and the serenity with which they unfold. This is soothing stuff, but of course it's much more than that, too. Attentive listening will reveal the genius of the anonymous composers who carved such magnificent music out of a single line.

October 02, 2002: In this wonderful recording, we are given a first rate performance by Chanticleer. They perform the chant according to the most recent scholarship. It is a wonderful CD and a wonderful introduction to Gregorian Chant.

June 01, 2001: I have listened to quite a few chant albums, including the famed Monks of Santo Domingo de Silos. They don't measure up to Chanticleer. These voices are incredible. They have amazing ranges in their performance. I find this CD to be wonderful at work and during meditation.
