Good Friday in Jerusalem: Medieval Byzantine Chant from the Holy Sepulchre

Almost Rational Review

Good Friday in Jerusalem

Cappella Romana’s Good Friday in Jerusalem is a superb example of just how lovely this music can be. … Definitely worth a listen. Personally, I want to see them get their Grammy! Check it out.

“Cappella Romana’s Good Friday in Jerusalem is a superb example of just how lovely this music can be. It was recorded in a Church at Stanford and engineered by some clearly acoustically savvy members of Stanford’s Center for Computer Research in Music and Acoustics (CCRMA). It was created, structured, and directed by UBC Musicologist and CR Artistic Director Alexander Lingas, And it was sung by a very talented subset of the a very talented and multifaceted vocal ensemble. In short, it is one of the best recordings of Byzantine church music you’ll find. … Definitely worth a listen. Personally, I want to see them get their Grammy! Check it out.”
