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

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...

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".

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.

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. 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. 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 text to a Russian "Cherubic Hymn" prescribes) and to rest in a magical, quiet space of slow, peaceful, beauty. That peaceful beauty is available to you on all of these compilations, including this one, "SACRED TREASURES III"...

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.

Album Description

Peaceful Mind, from the Peace of Mind Music Collection

Real Music continues their "Peace of Mind Music" series with the second installment, which carries the subtitle Peaceful Mind. Being a Real Music compilation, it pretty much goes without saying that the album lives up to its name. Unlike the first volume Calling Wisdom, this edition exhibits less of an Asian flair; instead, adjectives like "tender" and "sweet" would be more fitting. Many (but not all) of these artists are derived from Real Music's roster of artists, like 2002, Gandalf, Karunesh and Tim Wheater. Listeners can expect ample synthesizer moods, piano-based compositions, subtle rhythms on a few tunes and Moya Brennan-like female vocals on the Wheater track. All in all, this is a very relaxing , quiet compilation that should definitely provide your mind with ample peace.

a little known gem.......2006-06-19

i first heard kourosh zolani while i was in college in bloomington indiana. a local station played a piece called 'butterflies'. i was imediately captivated by the sadness and joy captured at once in this piece. a strange combination, and a unique, beautiful composition. i spent years searching stores in seattle for it, to no avail. finaly i broke down and ordered it online. i don't mind the endearingly silly cd cover. is that why the picture isn't on amazon? clearly a low budget cd production, and not fair to the beautiful music this cd contains. tracks like 'good bye home land' and, 'snow queen' in particular, are downright haunting and mesmerizing. the tracks 'ghasedak-ha (dandelions)' and 'diadar (at the first glance) are striking and contain virtuso performances by the iranian born santour player. it's so hard to describe this music. if you're wondering, a santour is like a dulcimer. it's a solo instrumental cd. just him playing his santour. some tracks are jubilent, many are meloncholy. while the cd as a whole remains sparse, which is just what has haunted and grown on me, all tracks contain joy of life and music. do yourself a favor and at least check some tracks out at his website. kouroshzolani.com . if you at all love music. please. i doubt you'll regret it.

Album Description

A unique lullaby CD created and performed by Carina Norlund, a Swedish world-known singer/songwriter with an extensive background in music and child development. Unique because of its approach; soothing, dreamy and simplistic melodies surrounded by calming sounds, familiar even to the youngest babies, and added with Carina's sweet, crystal clear voice. The songs are put in an order so to become more and more relaxing and the last song ends in a fade to avoid awakening the sleeping baby (or parent!).

This is a great CD with songs to be remembered by you and your baby for the rest of your lives! Carina's truly beatiful voice ringning in your babie's ears must be the best start in life the baby can ever get!

Peace of Mind -Carina Norlund.......2002-01-10

What a great way for me and my child to unwind/de-stress/snuggle and just rest and enjoy each other! I highly recommend this beautiful CD to all parents and their babies.

Just right for me and my little sweetie!.......2002-01-08

This is the perfect CD for playing when you want some soothing baby-friendly music to accompany you. It doesn't dominate a room, but is more like a warm companion. The songs are pretty unique and fun to hear. It is one of the three CDs that stays in my CD changer.

Great find!.......2002-01-08

This is the only "guaranteed" sleep time in my house -- and much beloved because of it!!

Peaceful soothing melodies.......2002-01-08

Listening to this music reminds me of a lot of great moments with my little daughter. A lot of the feelings you have (as a parent) are captured in Carinas songs.
You can enjoy these songs with or without your baby. Peaceful and soothing are the right words for this CD.
This was definitely a good buy.
