 Written on February 17, 2004 Summary: Highly Recommended I would recommend this CD to anyone who is looking for a general Latin Catholic CD. The music soars and takes me back in time to the reverence of the Mass, and the focus on what truly is most important. Great to calm the mind and heart and guide in meditation. Especially appreciated are the liner notes in both Latin and English. Written on February 15, 2004 Summary: A serene and heavenly voice This beautiful disk contains several main favorites of Latin hymnody that have remained albeit in the back of the Catholic memory, such as the Ave Marias. There are also a number of hymns or settings of well-known hymns with which the listener may not be familiar. The performances are serene, pure, dignified, and one might even say, "simple" in the sheer immediacy with which they speak to the soul. There is something of an English aesthetic to many of the chorales, but the warmth and balance of the ensemble and, of course, the perennial beauty of the music rise beyond some identifiably country: this is truly Catholic music with a small and majuscule "C". The Ave Verum Corpus may be the most beautiful piece of music ever bestowed by God, and the choir here realizes the gift. I like this disk most of all for its purity and sincerity -- there is no trace of either the "artsy" or the "schmaltzy" on this disk. It's said that to sing is to pray twice. I think that here they pray thrice. Written on July 21, 2003 Summary: Burn the "Glory and Praise" hymnal! For those who have had enough of folk masses, youth masses, and "On Eagle's Wings" - as I have, since about 1988 - this is the antidote. I resent the 1960's generation who felt the need to throw out 1500 years of beautiful sacred music and replace it with the Paul Simon-like strains of "Here I Am Lord." When I hear this music in Latin, all I can say is "DEO GRATIAS!" Written on June 14, 2003 Summary: Ne Plus Ultra I would rate this CD as ne plus ultra for the amount of divinity that is latent within each of those great, precious, Latin hymns, which should have been my "birth-right," as the other reviewer had wonderfully put it. To give you an idea, I am an immigrant from Tamilnadu, India, with no cultural ties to the Western world or Latin. It is truly "greek and latin" to me. However, I thank God Almighty for bringing me to the US, at least that I now have better exposure to some Latin worship. This CD is given 5 stars by me, because, not only the music is mellifluous, but the richness of Latin is apodictic, once you hear the euphonious rendition of the hymns by the singers. John Eskola's Panis Angelicus is so good, that I couldn't stop playing it again and again. This wonderful hymn, written by St. Thomas Aquinas would move any "lukewarm" soul to get nearer to the Eucharist. And to speak the truth, every time I listen to Ave Maria version of Franz Schubert, wonderfully rendered in the form of a soprano by Lorelei McDermott, tears start rolling down my eyes, out of joy and out of divine grace. Folks, this CD will move you to an extent, that you will experience multiple levels of "divine ecstasy." I have heard and fell in love with the hymns of O Salutaris Hostia and Tantum Ergo Sacramentum, but after listening to these great benediction songs in this CD, I even more fell madly love with these songs during the benediction of the blessed sacrament. Almost all the songs in this CD are great and Jubilae Deo of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart was just splendiferous. I extremely feel helpless, that we Catholics have lost the opportunity to either attend masses of Novo Ordo or Traditional Tridentine Mass. In the name of new era, we are standing as mute witnesses to the systematic elimination of wonderful works of yesteryears. If you are a lukewarm, orthodox, carefree, or merely a Sunday catholic: each of you do have some element of divine-touch in this CD. Again, this review comes to you from an alien who is in no way connected to the Western Culture, but instantaneously fell in love with it and Latin, the primordial reason of which can be attributed to the euphonic collections in this CD. And, one last thing: After listening to these melodic hymns, I have listened to numerous other singers' versions of Panis Angelicus and Ave Maria, but none has surpassed my expectations as I have on this one. Kudos John Eskola and Lorelei McDermott. Kudos to all the Cathedral Singers and Richard Prolux, the Conductor, of this CD. God's blessings will surely be upon you. I may order a few copies for all my relatives in India, to enjoy the divine graces that I obtained through this CD. Great stuff. Domine Jesu Christe, gratias!  Written on March 13, 2003 Summary: Perhaps I'm spoiled This CD is nice, but not quite what I expected. Of particular worth are the two Ave Marias. It was refreshing to hear Schubert's version after the heavy exposure that Bach has received. But the choral nature of most of the hymns on the CD gets a little bit monotonous. Perhaps I am overly affected by limited exposure to these classics in an actual Mass (I grew up attending a hippy guitar-Mass Church), but I found the majority of the hymns to be far too pastel. The deep and sincere movement that can be accomplished with works like Panis Angelicus seemed to be lacking, and the whole effort came off a little too close to Gregorian Chant for my tastes. One minor but gratifying point was the translation offered in the liner notes. I was running around thinking "Tantum Ergo" meant "Only Thus," and, despite the obvious title, was actually unaware that Ave Maria was the same text as the prayer "Hail Mary." I suspect that over time, this CD will grow on me, and will remain part of a collection of such music. For now I will continue to listen and await inspiration |
