Description    
The fifth recording by Archangel Voices of Orthodox Hymns in English is a collection of Orthodox chants of Holy Week. It assembles the best-loved hymns of the Holy Week services, drawn from Byzantine (Greek, Antiochian and Romanian traditions), Serbian, Russian, Bulgarian and American repetoires. Liner notes in English, no hymn text.
ReviewBy: Benjamin Williams
A recording of this type is a significant undertaking for any ensemble, given the assembly and performance of hymns from such a wide range of chant repetoire. Initial comments have included: "...[the singers] launched out into deep waters of choral beauty that I have really never heard. It was really stunning!" "This project took my breath away!" "...beautiful blend and unified ensemble on a high level of artistry." The choral execution is high quality, and espeically in the performance of "Russian" chant forms the sound is full, rich and lush, and the voices do blend with choral beauty. There will be criticism, however, that they also do that to an unncecssary degree in the performance of the Byzantine hymns, which have a pronouned choral quality than isn't heard in the average Byzantine rite church or monastery. Still, the goal of assembling such a mosaic of hymns centered on the Lamentations services, is commendable, and the sound is beautiful, indeed.
