Summary: Music Straight from Heaven
Comment: Sacred Treasures is one of the most beautiful discs I have listened to in a long time. The music evokes a heavenly choir. My personal favorite is track 12, Cherubim by Tchaikovsky. It moves me to a different place. A place I'd like to stay.

Summary: MY FAVORITE CD EVER
Comment: THIS IS A FABULOUS CD...SO MUCH SO THAT I HAVE GIVEN IT AS A GIFT TO MY FAVORITE PEOPLE AND WILL CONTINUE TO DO SO. THE VOCALS ARE HEAVENLY. I AM AN ORTHODOX CHRISTIAN MYSELF (ALTHOUGH A SCOT AND NOT RUSSIAN) SO I AM FAMILIAR WITH WHAT IS TAKING PLACE IN THE LITURGY WHEN THESE CHORAL PIECES ARE SUNG...WHICH IS AN ADVANTAGE. IN MY OPINION RUSSIAN CHANT IS THE BEST...RICH, FULL, PASSIONATE AND COMPLEX. I WOULD RECOMMEND A VISIT TO A SERVICE TO EXPERIENCE THE VISUAL THAT IS WOVEN WITH THE MUSIC.

Summary: Hisssssssssssssss
Comment: The CD just arrived today and I'm listening through my trusty Sennheiser 280HD cans.
If ever a recording cried out for remastering, this flawed masterpiece certainly does.
I love sacred choir music and this music is gorgeous! Nobody on God's green or snowy earth worships like the Russian Orthodox Church.

Editorial Reviews:
|
Although this collection intends to transport the soul, it has a tremendously potent low-end depth to it that earns high marks indeed in the worlds of vocal and liturgical music. Dmitri Bortniansky's "Hymn of the Cherubim" is performed with a gracefulness that gets a warming fatness from the production, as does Alexander Gretchaninov's "I Have Chosen the Blissful," which travels with a ringing resonance. In a year of fine choral works--check out Sequentia's Hildegard cycle box, 900 Years or Arvo Pärt's Kanon Pokajanen for a "something old, something new" mix--this collection is highly valued for its sonic integrity and its excellent anthological mix. --Andrew Bartlett
