Phenomenal compilation that is near perfect technically, yet still warm and enjoyable. A must-listen for all choir singers and conductors.

The music on this CD is not Orthodox. Most of it is Christian in origin, however, from the Renaissance period, and is performed in Latin. Please do not let that dissuade you. While it does lack that certain spirituality many find unique to Orthodox music, this is certainly one of the most amazing compilations in my collection. The selection of pieces is excellent, the performances are near-perfect, and the recording and CD production quality are top-notch.
