Well Done Chant CD(s)

Ben

A friend asks if I know of any well done chant CDs... He is looking to have something to listen to in the car and such. Not so much to learn each individual chant, but just get the sound of chant into his head...suggestions? Amazon links?

Intonation isn't perfect, but the character of prayer pervades the album.

Fontgombault has a chant equivalent of a 'greatest hits' album -- not their typical offering of all the chants from a single liturgical day, but instead a broad sampling including one of my absolute favorites, the Audi Filia.

My favourite (at the moment):

Psallat ecclesia ~ Schola Solensis

Mainly Sequences, with some Gregorian Propers thrown in for variety. Superbly musical performance by Norwegian female voices.

I also recommend:

Chant Grégorien [not sure whether released with English title] ~ Deller Consort (Alfred Deller)

Holy Week chants, recorded in 1972 but fresh as new paint. Deller really understood phrasing.
