"The latest edition of haunting, crystalline chant by the monks of the Abbey of Solesmes, at the forefront of the Gregorian revival from 1833 to the present. Flawless presentations of the three Nocturnes and Lauds of Good Friday, unrivalled in authenticity. An insert includes a brief history of Solesmes and Tenebrae, and a translation and brief commentary for each of the chants. A feast for the Gregorian aficionado."
