Reviews

"Paraclete Press offers a superb list of outstanding Christian music which is magnificently performed by the monks of Solesmes.

"The Monastic Choir of St. Peter's Abbey in Solesmes, France, who have produced the most famous and 'authentic' recordings of Gregorian chant for generations (The Boston Globe), presents Sundays in Ordinary Time. This new recording, directed by Br. Yves-Marie Lelievre, is attributed to the first three of the thirty-four weeks in Ordinary Time, the part of the liturgical year between the Feast of the Baptism of Our Lord and Lent, and from Pentecost Sunday until the beginning of the Advent season." —Acadiana Catholic
