Beautiful music done beautifully. November 19, 2008

I heard a few selections from the album on NPR and had to have it. I ordered the CD then decided I couln't wait and got the MP3 download, too. I've been listening ever since.
Every segment is thrilling in it's simplicity and elegance. The songs are the classics that we all know and love and frequently hear but almost never can listen without listening around the quality and wishing for a little "more of this and less of that" and having to "forgive the production" and enjoy the old songs anyway... but none of that in this album. This is as good as it gets. Every selection was pure joy to experience!
Listening to this album was the most thrilling and satisfying musical experience I've ever had.
Quite simply...the very best November 29, 2008

I was first aware that three priests would be bringing out a CD of music when I saw and read an article on them in 'Time' Magazine. That article promised great things.
I was given the CD earlier this week by a friend here in Hong Kong. I have been listening to it constantly since.
This is so utterly different to anything with which it might be compared - 'Il Divo' and even 'The Three Tenors', although here we have two tenors and a baritone. The most marvellous thing here is that the music is given pride of place - there is absolutely no ego...no bellowed high Cs...no playing to any audience. And, as a result, even the better known offerings of the Schubert 'Ave Maria', the Franck 'Panis Angelicus' and LLoyd-Webber's 'Pie Jesu' are so fresh that they sparkle like early morning light on a stream. Fathers Eugene and Martin (who are brothers) and Father David have voices that we all dream of having, but the voices are there for the music and, I suspect, for God even before that. This is sung prayer, nothing else. The discretion of the insert in the CD points to this too, it seems to me.
I thought the arrangement of Haydn's 'Mit Würt und Hoheit angetan' splendid, and as with everything here done with such extreme good taste and refinement. I cannot advise the fathers' rivals to listen and to learn because they have no rivals.
This is the singing of three seminally musical and intelligent men, and, I feel, it is music of three men in love - in love with their vocation and in love with He who gave it to them.
Great! No regrets in buying it! November 23, 2008

What else can I say but it's worth buying. The songs are all reminders of the Grandeur of God! Very spiritual and uplifting. Thanks to the "fathers" who sang beautifully to us. Expecting an encore CD!
Superb! November 27, 2008

I also heard an excerpt of this CD on NPR and HAD TO HAVE IT!! The voices are incredible! I ordered extras to give to my adult children who also love music. I have been listening over and over and each time feel the same thrill when the music begins.

When I was growing up in Northern Michigan we had a magnificent choir at our church. My father had a wonderful baritone voice, Mrs. Dix played the huge pipe organ, her husband could have been a concert violinist. Frank Toriano had a tenor voice that certainly could have made him a part of the New York Met, had he so chosen. All of this to tell you readers of this review that many of these songs on this CD were sung regularly in our church. These priests do such a beautiful rendition of each of them that I could not help but think that the Dixes, Frank, the other members of the choir and my dad were singing along with me as I sung along with "The Priests". In these so troubled days throughout the world and in our own country, it is so great to witness pure, beautiful, God given talent, used for His greater glory and honor. David A. Sullivan
