Sacred Treasures is one of the most beautiful discs I have listened to in a long time. The music evokes a heavenly choir. My personal favorite is track 12, Cherubim by Tchaikovsky. It moves me to a different place. A place I'd like to stay. February 22, 2008

rating: 5 QuoteMY FAVORITE CD EVERQuote
THIS IS A FABULOUS CD...SO MUCH SO THAT I HAVE GIVEN IT AS A GIFT TO MY FAVORITE PEOPLE AND WILL CONTINUE TO DO SO. THE VOCALS ARE HEAVENLY. I AM AN ORTHODOX CHRISTIAN MYSELF (ALTHOUGH A SCOT AND NOT RUSSIAN) SO I AM FAMILIAR WITH WHAT IS TAKING PLACE IN THE LITURGY WHEN THESE CHORAL PIECES ARE SUNG...WHICH IS AN ADVANTAGE. IN MY OPINION RUSSIAN CHANT IS THE BEST...RICH, FULL, PASSIONATE AND COMPLEX. I WOULD RECOMMEND A VISIT TO A SERVICE TO EXPERIENCE THE VISUAL THAT IS WOVEN WITH THE MUSIC. January 18, 2008

The CD just arrived today and I'm listening through my trusty Sennheiser 280HD cans.

If ever a recording cried out for remastering, this flawed masterpiece certainly does.

I love sacred choir music and this music is gorgeous! Nobody on God's green or snowy earth worships like the Russian Orthodox Church. August 29, 2007

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. February 7, 2007
