Downloads: Be Patient!
Our MP3 downloads are encoded at 320 kbps, the highest quality permitted by the MP3 format. Why does this matter to you? Because you're buying liturgical music, not rock and roll, and so compression and sampling rates matter to minimize loss and degradation of sound fidelity.

Original CDs are encoded at 1,020 kilobits/sec, and most download stores sell files at 128 kbs-one tenth the quality of the original. Higher sampling rates make for bigger files and longer download times, but the higher quality is well worth it-you'll hear the difference!

Title:  Liturgica.com Review
Rating:
Review:   Led by world-famous Greek cantor Ioannis Arvanitis, Cappella Romana recaptures on this recording the artistic vibrancy of medieval Italy's Greek minority with original and gorgeous 13th-century chants. Disc One is devoted to the life and work of the monastery's founders St. Neilos and St. Bartholomew, including Kontakia in their honor, and an excerpt of a Kanon for St. Benedict that was very likely composed for a Greek-rite all-night vigil at the Benedictine community at Montecassino in Sicily. Disc Two features music for Pentecost, beginning with excerpts of its two Kanons, the Alleluiarion, and the Communion Verse for the feast. The central work on disc two is the Teleutaion (Final Antiphon) of the kneeling vespers in the medieval cathedral rite, featuring extended psalmody and ecstatic settings of the angelic refrain "Alleluia," foreshadowing the transcendent ("kalophonic") chant of St. John Koukouzeles. Few recordings of Byzantine chant are, in fact, historically authentic, most reflecting the ?received tradition? or ?local practice? of the performing ensemble. The work of Ioannis Arvanitis and Alexander Lingas on this recording, to prepare for performance and then sing historic Byzantine chant from ancient manuscripts such as these is a truly commendable effort. The performance is top notch, and the sound is simply sublime.
