The most recent (2007) recording of the Benedictine Monks of Santo Domingo de Silos in Spain. This, though is an original. The monastery traces it's lineage back to foundation in the 6th Century, and as part of the Benedictine Congregation of Solemnes was immediately involved in the renaissance of Gregorian Chant in the 19th century. The monastery's successful contemporary recordings built on this long legacy of chant performance.

By: Benjamin Williams

As an original, this is a re-mastered and re-engineered presentation of recordings made in 1956 and 1962. There is no escaping the fact that the recordings took place about fifty years ago. They don't have the "full" sound of contemporary recording equipment. What they do have is authenticity. Subtle, almost fragile in place, and reverential throughout, this is a wonderful presentation of much loved Gregorian Chant for Easter, as close as you'll get to hearing it without actually visiting the Monastery of de Silos!
