Old Meets New!?.......2006-02-01

When I was younger and sat in church every Sunday I truly enjoyed the peace and calm Gregorian Chants offered me. Fast forward several dozen years and I discovered that same kind of peace and contentment in New Age Music. Paul Avgerinos merges these two formats in Phos Hilaron to create a nicely blended sound that is heavy on the New Age side. It is like a Bloody Mary that takes ones's beloved vodka and mixes it with just the right amount of tasty tomato juice to create a whole new sensation. Phos Hilaron may not be the best of both worlds but it is a pretty satisfying musical Bloody Mary anyhow.

The thinking man's new age.......2005-08-02

Paul Avgerinos is the renaissance master of modern new age, a classically trained artist who brings to his projects experience, learning, and a passion to communicate with listeners. His latest recording, Phos Hilaron, is a richly textured collection of performances based on Christian hymns, an obviously personal statement of faith. One listen will convince you that this music is from someone who wishes to create as much with his heart as with his head.

Music to feed your soul.......2005-08-01

Paul Avgerinos' Phos Hilaron is stunning. It is music that is not only heard by the ear, but by one's soul. The entire CD is an experience of centering and calming and reassuring the listener that there is a place of great beauty and sacredness within him/herself and it is a place where one can go anytime.
Although based on a very early Christian hymn, this music transcends those roots to speak to all people of all spiritual paths.

Paul does it again! .......2005-07-16

I've followed Paul's music for many, many years now and each release shows his growth as a person and a musician. PHOS HILARON is AWESOME! It's a cross between Gregorian and New Age and is wonderful to use in almost any setting. I use it while reading or just as background music for my day. It's also great to just sit and listen (with headset is best) and hear the subtle nuances Paul is so good at creating! I HIGHLY recommend it! Rev. Ronald G. Cosseboom

Need to chill out? Paul's music is different than most: it makes me think of when you drive out to the middle of nowhere to get away from it all and the only sounds you hear are the constant whisper of a gentle wind humming through the blades on a windmill, while a nearby stream quietly and endlessly dances past you. Suddenly you realize you've been sitting there staring off into vast fields of golden wheat and without a single thought for hours.We highly recommend Paul's music for your new age music collection.

Impeccably Performed, Stunning Sound.......1998-11-20

The beautifully captured reverberant sound of the acoustic space is matched by gorgeous choral balance, precise diction, and definitive interpretation. In spite of the contemporary style of the compositions - Rorem doesn't shy away from crunchy dissonances - this is a very enjoyable collection of Choral music with many beautfiul moments.
