Although this collection intends to transport the soul, it has a tremendously potent low-end depth to it that earns high marks indeed in the worlds of vocal and liturgical music. Dmitri Bortniansky\'s \"Hymn of the Cherubim\" is performed with a gracefulness that gets a warming fatness from the production, as does Alexander Gretchaninov\'s \"I Have Chosen the Blissful,\" which travels with a ringing resonance. In a year of fine choral works--check out Sequentia\'s Hildegard cycle box, 900 Years or Arvo Pärt\'s Kanon Pokajanen for a \"something old, something new\" mix--this collection is highly valued for its sonic integrity and its excellent anthological mix
