Customer Reviews of Celestial Litanies-The Ultimate Journey To Mystical Russian Soundscapes
Good music Although I myself am not very religious, I do have an interest for Russian Chant. Endowed in mysticism, Russian chant has the ability to express both love and sorrow at the same time. The music is indeed very powerful and beautiful. Speaking as a composer as well, I must say that I am compelled to take a greater interest in incorporating some of this chant in some of my own music. I give it 4/5 stars - you cant go wrong with it. <

>Replying to the previous commentator... That isnt very nice. I am sure that there were many Atheists that lived in the USSR at the time who were very decent human beings. I dont think that the cruel acts of Stalin and other Soviet dictators should automatically define all Atheists as "Totilitarian Atheist Commnunist Animals". Besides Atheists aren't the only ones who committed atrocities, parallels can be drawn to Christianity as well. In the end, it is humanity that is forever at fault and not religion and disbelief. <

>Again, good album.
Transandental epic masterpiece!
Before the totalitarian atheistic communist animals wretched forth their unholy barbarism upon the fertile soils of Mother Russia, the Christian church blossemed forth in that great country - and survives still, in defiant triumph of good over evil!!!
Choral music is unique in that only the human voice is used, both for tonations, and for singing lyrics - no other musical instruments are used. The effect is dramatic and appeals directly to the soul.
This music comes from the rich and earthy hearts of those who have known great sorrow, and yet have hope; from those who are embroiled in epic struggle, and yet have faith; from those who have been afflicted by hatred, and yet are filled with love.
Solem homaging of all that is Holy, brought humbly, respectfully, and joyfully to earthly form - a comparatively dim but inspiring suggestion of what Heaven's choir must be like:
1 Cor 2:9
9 But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him.
KJV
These masterful works are a treasure for all mankind!
Mystical Russian Soundscapes?
An odd title if you're not buying it for meditation purposes. Anyway, this CD covers an expansive amount of reportoire. The rarely heard Madrigal Ensemble of Moscow is represented by the first 8 tracks, which consist of extremely rare music you probably won't find in too many other places. Finally the listener is suddenly transported from early Russian unison chant (No. 11) to a full Bortniansky concerto (No. 12). The rest of the selections are all polyphonic, although I'd argue that they are not "Russia's finest choirs." I'd recommend this CD up to track 12.
