This is one of the most beautiful sacred music ever, you reach peace, sublimity in a humble heart.

This CD by the Cistercian Monks of Stift Heiligenkreuz is marvelous. The chants are soothing and inspiring. The blending of voices makes the listener aware of the calming effect of Gregorian chants. It is beautiful, fulfilling and lifts the soul. The voices become one.
