Editorial Reviews
Album Description
In superb vocal renditions by Ted Alevizos, this disk samples the musical legacy of the Eastern Orthodox Church. These chants of the Byzantine Empire were composed orally between the 4th and 8th centuries, and written down in musical notation during the 9th through the 13th centuries. They are sung here in conformity with the oldest noted traditions. The opening Lenten hymn, commemorating the Annunciation of the Virgin (March 25), is an early 8th century work of the theologian and hymnographer St.John of Damascus. The remaining music embellishes the most solemn of liturgical dramas, beginning with Christ's entry into Jerusalem on Palm Sunday and continuing through the emotion-charged events of Holy Week. What may seem as an artistic peak is the narrative cycle of twelve hymns, tracing the events of Good Friday (14-25) attributed to Sophronios, Patriarch of Jerusalem 634-38. These are rich displays of Byzantin! e religiosity, adorned with emotionally charged and at times dramatic music. It all finds an exultant conclusion in the universal refrain, Christos Aneste, (Christ is Risen) found here in an authorative Constantinopolitan version of the 14th Century.

Liked this very much.......2002-05-22
Beautiful voice and quality!
I am no expert and thus am not sure about the veracity of the chant, but I have to say that I enjoyed it immensely. From my albeit limited knowledge of the genre, what is clear to me is that there are many different and highly opinionated points of view when it comes to this beautiful music. Who will ever really know what was 'correct' or 'true' chant from so long ago? Not this old chap.
You have to follow your heart sometimes....In any event, I enjoyed this CD very much!
Not-Chant, Not-Byzantine, Not-Good!.......2002-04-21
This CD should be entitled, "The Imagings of a Byzantine Chanter: What Byzantine Music Isn't -- Thank God!"
This CD is horrible. It is not Byzantine Chant, although we are told it is by a certain Kenneth Levy in the liner notes. This "professor", in a pedantic way, tells us how great Mr. Alevizos is, and how the disc is "true to historical evidence." Prove it. The tonal system seems to have totally disappeared and everything sounds nearly the same (which is horrible), except for a little more vibratto here, a little less there. The title of this CD is fraudulent -- it isn't chant, it isn't Byzantine, and it definitely isn't worth your money.
