Monastic Choir Of The Abbey Of Montecassino

Musical Group

The Monastic Choir of the Abbey of Montecassino is the choir of the Benedictine abbey in Montecassino, Italy, performing Gregorian chant and liturgical music.

The DeBaser review discusses the album Vir Dei Benedictus (fonè, 1999) featuring Stefano Concordia O.S.B. (organ and direction) and comments on recording/reverberation and organ clarity.

A single DeBaser review finds the Montecassino choir's Gregorian chant well performed but less engaging than other editions. The reviewer praises atmospheric moments (bells) but criticizes organ execution and recording/reverberation. Overall a mixed recommendation for newcomers to chant.

For:Listeners of Gregorian chant, sacred/liturgical music fans, early-music and audiophile listeners interested in monastic recordings.

 I was hesitant until the last moment about whether or not to present you with a review of this Gregorian Chant CD (or more precisely an SACD to be exact).
