Negative Positive
Title: If this is the CD I am thinking of. . .
Review: . . . this may, or may not, be the same CD that was released some years back by The Musical Heritage Society. It definitely was entitled, "Ancient Echos", and depicted the lone, hooded person. Perhaps the CD discussed on this page is a "sequel" recording (?). I no longer own the MHS recording, because it was the most wretched compilation of Russian Orthodox hymnology that I ever had heard. Most of the music simply was ugly. I lent the CD to other Orthodox friends, each of whom was equally repelled by the selections. Many reverent and moving recordings of beautiful Orthodox chant and hymnology are on the market. I'll stay with them. I entered "one star" here, because the system does not provide for a "zero."
Is the review positive or negative?
