"Magnificent! What a beautiful album! All 12 songs are religeous works written by Pergolesi, Monteverdi, Bach and the others. Most of them are beautifully orchestrated and the others are surprisingly arranged as jazz! Here Bach-Gounod's Ave Maria is jazz and it's really renovating and so poignant. The packaging is also beautifully done. It's like a jewelry box which includes the libretto with the lyrics in Latin and Italian translation. There is nothing you can compare with this album. Her prayer goes right into your heart. Great work."

"Great singer, one of the best in the world. To her all is possible and this CD is the perfect demonstration. I found it incredible, spiritual, with a lot of feeling from Mina's interpretations.
I suggest to buy her CD title "NAPOLI" to have a similar strong effect but with napolitan songs revisited in jazz mood, and the other CD title "MINA GOLD" to have an overview on her legendary career and features."

"Clasical Catholic songs sung by a pop singer... yes just like Barbra Streisand did with "Classical Barbra" but this cd is much more intense and moving. It'll make you cry."
