5.0 out of 5 stars Calm, relaxing....a great CD, 15 Nov 2008

By	J. Craig (Northern Ireland) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

The previous edition got excellent reviews, and I'm going to start by giving this one the same treatment. When I ordered this, I didn't really think I would enjoy it. But something about is very relaxing and calming, and now there's an extra CD, well, that's just a bonus! As someone who dithered over buying the original, I'm glad I did because now its double value!

To the monks - great stuff, a job well done!

5.0 out of 5 stars Time Out, 22 Nov 2008

By	M. Dowden (London, UK) - See all my reviews (TOP 1000 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)

If you're like me you may not be too enthralled by listening to religious music. Saying that though, you are missing out on something that is very relaxing. You can put this album on and just listen to it, or play it as background music whilst doing something else (as I do).

Many people like me have found that listening to Gregorian Chant (named after Pope Gregory the Great), has a very relaxing influence and seems to help to de-stress. So, even if you are not religious you can still appreciate something to help cope with todays hectic lifestyles.

This has been recorded by the Cistercian monks of Stift Heiligenkreuz, which is apparently in the Vienna Woods and was founded in 1133. What they have produced is something that is very calming, relaxing and a sheer joy to listen to. I would recommend this to anyone, and tell them just to relax and have a listen, you might be surprised at how much calmer you feel, even if you only listen to it ten minutes at a time.

Included in this is a second cd of seasonal chanting for the Christmas period.

4.0 out of 5 stars Lets all chant , 17 Dec 2008

By	shevy - See all my reviews

This can only be described as a hidden gem. These monks deserve exposure.The irony is, of course, they are not seeking this. It's clear that their chanting comes straight from thei rsoles, and I'll bet ( it's a pretty safe one) that they've reached optimum tranquility in their lives.
Give this a spin and you'll achieve a level of spiritual insight of which listeners to the priests can only dream. Is it life changing ? well, no, but if you're asking me if this is a CD capable of lifting the spirits and sharpening the perspective of a stressed urbanite, well it would have to be a yes. The only slight downside to a purchase of this is that you often find yourself in a quandary of doubt as to whether or not to join in the chanting, but as criticisms go this is a fairly friendly one, and if you can live with uncertainty ( and this is a skill which develops a pace as you listen to this) then this could be the disc for you
