A cross section of the most well-known and loved hymns of Holy Week and Pascha in the Byzantine rite. An early Harmonia Mundi recording of Sister Marie Keyrouz, and of superb quality.

By: B. Williams

Among the single best single Byzantine chant recordings available, by one of the finest Byzantine chanters alive today. Sister Keyrouz has a voice that is transcendent; a virtual mystical experience. She captures and conveys all the agony and suffering, the sorrow and joy of Holy Week and the Passion in a recording that Fr. Hill describes as "sublime." The chorale that backs her provides a wonderful ison, and this is among the best extant examples of the glory of Byzantine liturgical music. So good, in fact, it doesn't matter that it is not in English. Now available on the HM Gold lable at a value price.
