Breathtaking!

(5 out of 5 stars)

"Listening to this CD literally transports your soul. The rich harmonies, the 12 part textures and the beauty of the soaring soprano and rich bass lines gives the listener a true treat. A must have for your choral collection."

Fire of the Soul

(5 out of 5 stars)

"Beautiful voices, outstanding arrangements, instantly enjoyable! Each piece is exquisitely performed, and the final selection, by Sergey Khvoshchinsky, is near perfection. In comparison to other recordings of choral music, this one is among the very best."

My Favorite

(5 out of 5 stars)

"Of the 3 CD's I have of 17th Century Eastern European acapella, this is my favorite. The other two are "Magnificat" by Chanticleer and "Slavic Holiday" by Rose Ensemble. I'm not musically inclined, but listen to a lot of diverse music while programming - heavy metal, reggae, punk, pop rock, do-wop, etc, but never tire of "Fire of the Soul". English religious choral music seems weak in comparison."
