Amazon.com's Best of 1998

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

Amazon.com

Words cannot describe poignantly enough the exquisite, angelic voices that permeate the heart and exalt the soul on Sacred Treasures. The most highly regarded Russian and Bulgarian choirs sing the hymns of Rachmaninov, Tchaikovsky, Lvovski, and other composers in the Russian Orthodox Church's tradition of "Divine Worship" (worship through chant). From the first tolling bells that open the CD with a willowy, floating piece from Rachmaninov's Liturgy of St. John, to the final bells closing the door on "Hymn of the Cherubim" (Grigory Lvovski), this CD creates a gentle, distinctly Byzantine glory. The rhythms slowly wisp along while the choirs' baritones, tenors, and sopranos mesh into one expansive blessing. Meant to comprehensively gather not all Russian liturgical pieces but rather hymns that emote an inner tranquility and celestial grace, Sacred Treasures plays like a piece of heaven on Earth. --Karen Karleski

The sense of beauty emerge within us as these chorals fill the space of our head and heart. A music written by real masters and interpreted by voices rarely heard. Beautiful.

5 out of 5 stars Music for the soul.......2007-01-10

One of the best renditions of the Orthodox Liturgy most famous hymns.

A terrific production...a wonderful selection; great phrasing. See also "Holy Love" by 'Rossica Choir'

5 out of 5 stars Divine Beauty and Peace! .......2006-12-03

I am the producer of this CD and also of "SACRED TREASURES III: Choral Masterworks From Russia and Beyond" as well as "SACRED TREASURES IV: Quiet Prayers" and "CELTIC TWILIGHT 7: Sacred Spirit". In each case, my intention was to bring together the very best performances of exceptionally beautiful, slow and peaceful sacred music. Most of the pieces on this compilation (as on the other compilations mentioned above) are filled with lush harmonies sung by large mixed choirs. All the selections are deeply nourishing to the soul.

In many cases, I chose to use excerpts from longer pieces, omitting the exultant huge crescendos and very fast sections that are typical of Russian sacred music, presenting only the slow and quiet verses. One reviewer complained about the omission of the final (loud and fast) part of the Cherubic hymns, saying this is the best part, but I completely disagree! I feel that the slow "adagio" sections are by far the most beautiful parts, and that is what you will hear on these CDs.

Different types of music serve different needs, and in today's stressful and fast-paced world, one of the most important and often neglected needs is for time out from that world--to "lay aside all earthly cares" (as the "Cherubic Hymns" on this CD prescribe) and to rest in a magical, quiet space of slow, peaceful, beauty. That peaceful beauty is available to you on all of these albums, including this one, "SACRED TREASURES: Choral Masterworks from Russia"!

3 out of 5 stars A Soviet version of Russian music.......2006-05-29

I admit to some strong bias here, having sung on the recording of Tchaikovsky's Liturgy available here from the Russian Chamber Chorus of New York. I was in that choir for five years, and our conductor's view of how to properly interpret Russian music became my own.

Because of Stalin's efforts to cleanse the country of the influence of religion, many musicians and composers were sent to Siberia. They were replaced with those from peasant backgrounds. The result was a huge change in how classical Russian music was performed, becoming less subtle, more interested in brute power and flash.

This recording features a massive and powerful choir. But the listener mostly hears a series of vowel sounds, with the consonants lost in the shuffle. Dynamic range is not as large as it could be. Phrasing is largely absent and we hear a steady wall of sound instead. Precision of rhythm is spotty, what consonants we do hear are frequently smeared. Pitch and richness of tone are good, but on high notes, inevitably given the size of the choir, some members strain.

Having performed and recorded Tchaikovsky's Liturgy I am very familiar with the piece. But listening to this recording of excerpts from it I sometimes barely recognized it as the same work. Tchaikovsky gives us great artistry, frequently crecendos and decrecendos on a single phrase. Each choral voice comes and goes like a wave, not all together like a tsunami in all but a few places. The balance of voices is constantly moving.

I encourage you to listen to the samples available here of the Russian Chamber Chorus's recording of Tchaikovsky's Liturgy, compare the same pieces. This recording is more a Vegas neon version of this great artwork than the fine art it deserves to be shown as. James Oestreich, the New York Times critic, put the Russian Chamber Chorus recording at #4 on his top ten list of classical releases for 2001, and said that if you had not heard it "You only think you know Tchaikovsky."

I hope you give the real Russian classical tradition a listen. It deserves your time, and it will pay you back with a huge amount of pleasure.

4 out of 5 stars A regular listener's impression.......2006-03-24

I am not an expert in classical music, but have always loved the string instruments. I bought this CD for relaxation (as the title implies) and to help me focus on writing a thesis. I was torn between this CD and the Cello for Relaxation. I am pleased with my choice. My favorites are track #2 and #10 (listen to the samples through Amazon) - I usually play these two on repeat. My least favorite is track #7 because it sounds like a piano dominated movie soundtrack.
Although I wish I could have exchanged some of the tracks for others, I think this CD was worth the money and is a nice mix for those of us who don't know specific composers by name or who want a good sampling.

4 out of 5 stars VIOLIN.......2005-09-10

The selection of music was a good mix and pleasant in listening to them.

The choice of orchestras and conductors are also very well selected offering very good variety in the similar music mood.

My two long time favourites "Meditation" and "Salut d'amour" were very well played in the right tempo and instrumental arrangement.

The recording quality is good offering both clarity and defination in the recording.

5 out of 5 stars Everything remembered and wanted on strings.......2003-10-16

To me, it is an extraordinary combination demonstarting the old world beauty and timeless artistry of the violin.

It will take you back to everything good remembered, and forward to everything good ahead of us.

What could be more sublime than a wall of dark, rotund Russian voices shimmering against the rising, ornate walls of a great cathedral? Not much, and this compilation of absolutely magnificent music proves it. The label Hearts of Space returns on this third choral collection to the ominous Slavic chant of their first choral album, Sacred Treasures I, which gathered together recordings of stunning Bulgarian and Russian choirs portraying the sacred works of Rachmaninov, Tchaikovsky, and other composers. Whereas Treasures I pulled from varied sections of sacred liturgies, including solo passages, Treasures III most often stays in harmonic chant with select voices occasionally rising and rolling in polyphonic heavenly calls. The collective voice draws the emotive tension taut here, as on Rimsky-Korsakov's "Our Father," which uses the absence of darkness to later juxtapose bold, rising drama. The Kiev chant "Blessed Art Thou O Lord" sends chills down the spine as the whispering consonants of the Russian language skip across the ancient repetition like sand skitters over a stormy beach. This is a collection as breathtakingly beautiful as the Cathedral of the Dormition itself. Not to be missed. --Karen K. Hugg

5 out of 5 stars Absolutely FANTASTIC CD !!.......2007-06-28

I'll keep this short: I'm not new to chant or choral music but there are SO MANY options out here that it's hard to know which ones are worth buying. I've got a few titles in my budding collection but I have to say that this particular recording is FANTASTIC. It is at once awe inspiring, meditative, and peaceful. Simply wonderful...

5 out of 5 stars Sacred and a treasure!.......2007-06-11

Wow! This is as good as the first Sacred Treasures if not better. These holy and divine works are truly "the speech of angels".

5 out of 5 stars Absolutely wonderful.......2006-12-28

I've really become taken with Russian choral music as of late. I've tried to get my hands on every recording I can, and amongst them all this is one of the very best. The phrasing, tonality and selection is terrific.

5 out of 5 stars More Divine Beauty and Peace!.......2006-12-03

I am the producer of this CD and also of the first CD in the Sacred Treasures series called "SACRED TREASURES: Choral Masterworks From Russia" as well as of "SACRED TREASURES IV: Quiet Prayers" and "CELTIC TWILIGHT 7: Sacred Spirit". In each case, my intention was to bring together the very best performances of exceptionally beautiful, slow and peaceful sacred music.

That peaceful beauty is available to you on all of these compilations, including this one, "SACRED TREASURES III"...

5 out of 5 stars It Doesn't Get any Better!!!.......2006-10-09

Having collected a decent library of sacred music over the years I can readily attest that this is the best sacred music CD that I own, my second favorite being a requiem chant by the monks of Solesmes. Further, upon listening to this CD everyone I know seems to respond to it with the same enthusiasm. Track 10 is my personal favorite, but there are no weak pieces here. The entire production hangs together well. Can't recommend it enough to novice or seasoned liturgical music listener.

5 out of 5 stars Epiphany - by John Serrie.......2007-02-06

I have always enjoyed the music of John Serrie. This CD is inspiring. I often use this music to start the day. I highly recommend it

3 out of 5 stars Good, but not his best stuff........2006-11-10

I am a HUGE Jonn Serrie fan and own most of his CDs. His music always takes me some place wonderful. I was really looking forward to Epiphany and the anticipated spiritual journey. I must admit, however, that this CD just doesn't do much for me. The covers of familiar hymns seem very formulaic (slow it down and blow air into it), and not very inspired or creative. My favorite song on the CD is the one Serrie wrote (Light of Thy Countenance). Fortunately the CD ends with the best two songs, which comprise roughly a third of the playing time.

5 out of 5 stars I Got Lost in this Music.......2006-05-26

This is my first experience of Jonn Serrie's works, and I'm sure it won't be my last. I first listened to this while I was trying to get to sleep; I am a bit of an insomniac. This music calmed and relaxed me so much, that I found myself fighting to stay awake because I wanted to hear the whole CD! And after it ended, I dropped right off and slept really well.

As a Christian, I like the idea of praying and meditating to music. It seems like meditation music with Christian themes are very rare; almost everything out there is Eastern or New Age. But this music lends itself extremely well to prayer and meditation on the Creator. But, in my case, if I use it for that, I'd better be sitting up!

5 out of 5 stars Awe Inspiring! Simply Beautiful!.......2005-03-30

Epiphany...what a great title! I am not big on using fancy words to describe what I hear nor do claim to be a great writer/reviewer, but here is what I have to say about Jonn's latest creation. I am a fan of Jonn's and have been for many years. I love his space music CDs such as TINGRI, FLIGHTPATH, IXLANDIA, etc., but now that I have had a chance to get my hands on a copy of EPIPHANY, I have to say that I am pleasantly surprised! It is absolutely Heavenly!

I remember singing these hymns as a child and teenager in the church I grew up in and I remember thinking how great they were WITH words. EPIPHANY doesn't needs words to be beautiful. Jonn has done an amazing job with these sacred hymns that I feel he has captured the real essence of each of them. Each track gives me a new reflection on the beauty of these hymns. I can't stop listening to them. If you slap on a pair of headphones, they are even better! Trust me! Buy this CD and take a real close listen to it. You will see, no hear, what I mean. Very moving. While I listen, I feel as if I am in the company of Angels. So serene, so comforting, so peaceful!

Each track draws on different emotions starting with JESU, JOY OF MAN'S DESIRING. This track brings back memories of joyous Christmases long ago as a child and being with my family as well as the wonderful joining of my soul mate and I in Holy Matrimony 17 years ago. SOFTLY AND TENDERLY JESUS IS CALLING, NEARER MY GOD TO THEE and O MAGNUM MYSTERIUM create a sense of comfort, joy and peace. While BE STILL MY SOUL, ABIDE WITH ME and PRAISE THE LORD, THE ALMIGHTY inspire the Spirit within. Oh, I can't forget the ever popular AMAZING GRACE. You have to listen to this one in its entirety to feel its powerful message. Simply beautiful! By far the best version I have ever heard. Jonn incorporates his traditional spacey sound as well, but offers even better ambiance with the lulling sounds of the ocean after AMAZING GRACE. It flows well into the rest of the CD. It brings to mind one of my favorite poems, FOOTPRINTS and in that, I find strength and comfort. There is also a track that Jonn wrote just for this CD. It is entitled LIGHT OF THY COUNTENANCE and let me tell you, it is enveloping. You have to get this CD to understand the power of Jonn's music.

In conclusion, this is a must have CD. Full of inspiration. Jonn still has his signature space music sound intertwined with beautiful waves of chords and melodies. If you listen closely to the very end of the last track, O MAGNUM MYSTERIUM, you can hear the church organ fading in the background. Jonn used to play the organ a few years back and I thought it was a great way to end the album...fading into and out of the sound of one of the greatest sounding keyboards ever played. A personal touch, I think, that ties it all together. After all, the church organ IS the original 'voice' of these and other great sacred hymns and Jonn has taken them to the next level as only he can. I really don't know how anyone could not like this CD. If you like his Christmas CDs, you will love this one. Great CD Jonn!

      Sir Edward Elgar was asked in 1895 to write a work on a biblical subject by the then-vicar of Bdarnich in Devon. The vicar suggested the story of Christ giving sight to a blind man, calling it Lux Christi. Elgar changed it to The Light of Life, and it was supposed to be the prelude to a trilogy of oratorios that never materialized. Even so, some of Elgar's strongest work is in this masterpiece. John Shirley-Quirk in the role of Jesus is a knockout, as is Arthur Davies in the role of the blind man. A genuinely great work. --Paul Cook

      4 out of 5 stars wedding classics.......2007-06-18

      a very useful collection of music for weddings. A pity that at least two of the samples let you hear the wrong music, i.e. other music than the title shows......

      5 out of 5 stars Problem with Samples.......2007-06-13

      I am just reviewing to let people know that at least one of the audio samples is incorrect. I clicked the sample to listen to the sample of Meditation from Thais by Massenet but what played was the Entrance to the Queen of Sheba by Handel.

      5 out of 5 stars Perfect Music for a Perfect Day.......2003-04-02

      What an excellent collection of music from the amazing Chandos catalog. All the selections are arranged into sections based on where in the ceremony the music would be heard. And there's more than just 'Here Comes the Bride' (although it is there) but all sorts of choices that any bride would love to make her wedding memorable and individual. 2 CDs that have all sorts of different music whether you're planning a traditional wedding or just a few friends in the park, there is something in it for anyone. I highly recommend this collection!
