Silos Abbey – Canto Gregoriano (Gregorian Chant)
I’ve got to be brief. I’m sorry, but this (a big hit during the last plainsong craze in the 1990s – they happen about once every decade) didn’t do much for me. It is very serene – more serenity than you can shake a stick at – but there just doesn’t seem to be very much happening. It’s not the monks’ fault - I suppose we are so used to polyphony that anything else comes as a shock.
