Two all-time bestsellers on 1CD Choir of the Carmelite Priory / John McCarthy
Benedictine Monks of the Abbey of Saint-Maurice & Saint-Maur, Clervaux
[Carmelite Priory] “(with notes providing the music’s spiritual and ecclesiastical background) there is one collection that stands out from all others … this beautifully sung and excellently recorded anthology is the finest introduction to plainsong. … extra variety of tone is provided by female voices as well as male … McCarthy directs the singing with dedication and authority” (Penguin Guide ROSETTE ! recording) [Clervaux] “This should gladden the heart of anyone who has paid a visit to Clervaux and heard those popular summer chants, sung festively with distant bells. Anyone who hankers after the straightforward sound of a working monastic choir, well groomed in the style of ‘Old Solesmes’, should enjoy this record.” (Gramophone) |
