Professional Review:
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

   Summary: Music From My Protectros
Good spiritual, relaxing music for listening and meditating in union with your soul. I always like to in tune myself with my higher being for supreme communication and full ecstasy! For some strange reason I'm very to close to the monks who protect me. This is a very good recording for those who want to communicate and please GOD our creator! Tips: Play the CD, burn some incense and candles of your choice, then pray with extreme concentration on all your desires. Let yourself go on the most wanted spiritual trip of your life. Always glorifying the supreme being for all your wishes to come true. Remember always to forgive but, don't forget!
Amen.

   Summary: A Standard Bearer for the Genre! Calm, Peaceful, Beautiful!
I have to admit that when I got this disc, it was more out of curiousity as it had done very well commercially and although I had read about Gregorian Chants, I had no idea what they were and thought that this would be a good way to find out.

Well, the sound quality of the recording was quite decently done and what struck me was the calm, serene vibes I was getting from listening to the tracks. And then it struck me that there were no musical accompanyments and it was just these guys with their voices!

So simple and yet so beautiful were the sounds coming out of the disc. A great stress reliever and to think that this kind of music has been around for millenia! Highly recommended!

   Summary: Chant-Gregorian Chant
The Benidictine Monks of Santo Domingo De Silos give a beautiful redition of Gregorian chants dating back over 1,500 years....truely inspirational, like stepping back in time.

   Summary: Sanctuary of Serenity
The Gregorian chant is a 1500-year-old a capella harmony of male voices that transforms any space into a cathedral-like, spiritual sanctuary. CHANT, the first (and famous) offering of nineteen tracks by the Benedictine Monks of Santo Domingo de Silos (Spain), provides a warm and luminous glow of sound. One is transported to a place of quiet serenity, and the world-weary soul is rested. Those seeking assistance in initiating a personal, prayer-time may find these intimate, ecclesiastical chants to be just the accompanying inspiration they need to get started.

   Summary: An amazing CD
This is an amazing collection. The sounds are soothing, calm the mind no matter the mood. I would recommend this to a large range of people, from the longstanding fan of Gregorian chants, to those who are intrigued by some new wave things and want to try something new. All together, I can find nothing wrong with this cd.
