This CD has been immensely popular as of late and even reached high into the music charts- not usual for Gregorian chanting I am sure! It's popularity may be due to the fact that it is an immensely relaxing album- the soothing singing of the monks is guaranteed to send one to sleep or just ... Read review

Chant- The Mournful Monks.
Review of Chant (Music For Paradise) - Monks Of The Cistercian Abbey Stift Heiligenkreuz (The) by MasonEsq

Advantages: Calming and soothing music.
Disadvantages: The tracks all generally resemble one another.

...this is characteristic of Gregorian chant and an inexorable style of chant. I would recommend this CD to be used as a meditative background sound or one to just listen to and be enveloped in, providing a great way to relax or even sleep. It is possible to purchase for £10, however it has been sold for more. Prices may have even been reduced further now so it may be of greater value to purchase now. ... Read review

Review of Chant (Music For Paradise) - Monks Of The Cistercian Abbey Stift Heiligenkreuz (The) by StevieR

Advantages: Relaxing
Disadvantages: None

...admit that I've liked Gregorian chant music ever since Ben in Butterflies (70's television programme) used to listen to it (yes, I really am that old!). It's great that Chant Music For Paradise has been released and has done so well in the charts. The cover is a clear indication of how peaceful it is. Just lay down or play it in the background and feel the chill sweep over you. Another bonus is that it's not something that you can sing along to, ... Read review

Paradise Not Found
Review of Chant (Music For Paradise) - Monks Of The Cistercian Abbey Stift Heiligenkreuz (The) by maudfoster

Advantages: Very professional production
Disadvantages: Does not stand out from similar offerings

Not sure what it is about this particular recording that has garnered so many accolades. Yes, it's soothing, pleasant and melodius, but so are most chants , and to my admittedly inexpert ears ,this is no better than similar offerings that often turn up in the 'price reduced' racks of record stores, book and gift shops. An expert in this form of music may well disagree , but I reckon that if you are simply in the market for relaxing sounds, you could ...
...local church . You will often find a good selection of very similar recordings that have not had the benefit of a major recording company to promote them, but they are none the worse for this in terms and content or quality Why plough funds into the cloisters of some far-flung monastery when there are plenty of lovely old churches closer to home that would appreciate a donation to their coffers. ...

Additional notes

Album Notes: The product of a religious talent contest, The Cistercian Monks of Stift Heiligenkreuz perform sacred chants and psalms with a variety of settings from the scriptures. Taking in traditional Gregorian chant in a modern and aesthetically sparing style, these men of the cloth aim to relax and de-stress the listener with their soothing voices. Maintaining a public face of complete religiosity, the monks who appear on 'Chant' refuse any press attention and don't perform in any traditional public arenas apart from their own monastery.
