5 out of 5 stars Cistercian chant   August 11, 2008
Marmaduke Huby (Fountains Abbey)

This Cistercian abbey has a continous history since its foundation. My only criticsm is that according to the Rule Cistercians should chant in the Ambrosian mode - very slow & ponderous, and this CD is a little too fast. One of the plus points is that Cistercians do not have choir boys so the overall effect is a deeper more inspiring chant.

Beautifully haunting, played this cd for the 1st time on a car journey. My partner turned his nose up when it started to play but about 10 mins in he was changing his mind and by the end of play he said "I really enjoyed that".
Just sit back in your favourite chair put this on and let the stresses of work, family, whatever, just drift away.

I found this the most relaxing and complative music. I listened to this whilst recovering from a major operation and the medics noticed that whilst I was listening my blood pressure fell rapidly to normal. I find that when I can't sleep if I listen to this whilest in bed not only do I relax but it transports me to another more heavenly realm and I soon fall into a deep relxaing sleep. This is truly a wonderful sound; those who wrote this type of music so long ago certainly knew a thing or two about meditaion and its connection to humnan emotions.

This was just what I hoped it would be, peaceful and relaxing.

I have never listened to anything like this before. I was very pleasantly surprised.

Helps to take the stress of the day away.

CD won't play in my PC or rip to MP3, so beware.

It may or may not be enchanting etc but right now Universal have pulled a fast one by selling stuff I can't listen to.

Record companies need to grow up.
