The Profile

A choir of Benedictine monks based at the Abbey of Santo Domingo de Silos in Spain, known for recordings and performances of Gregorian chant and other liturgical repertory.

Recordings include material released on major classical labels; the 1969 Deutsche Grammophon recording of the album reviewed credits Dom Ismael Fernandez de la Cuesta as director (information present in the review). Their performances are noted for evoking a monastic atmosphere and clear recording of breaths and natural reverb (as described in the review).

A single, enthusiastic DeBaser review praises the monks' austere and serene Gregorian chant performance, highlighting the time-stopping effect of "Dominus Regnavit" and the excellent recording quality. The reviewer calls the album a 'Masterpiece' every music lover should own.
