Catholic liturgical music is serious, solemn, transcendent, but Catholic musicians are never more fun and inspiring than when they are talking about what they love most. This is what happens at sacred music events around the world: the social and intellectual are critically important elements. The musicians (and music enthusiasts) at the Chant Café, a project of the
Church Music Association of America, bring that sense of life and love to the digital world. As St. Augustine said, "Cantare amantis est."

Great playing, but sounds spine-less not on the the piano.
Excellent performance.
I spent more than a few evenings at the Methuen Hall in High School… my teacher was an ocacasional recitalist there.
I remember it being rather a "scary" place when the lights were low… almost expect the Phantom to come up from the basement.
This instrument is astounding. I love the Murray recording of the Bach Passacaglia in Cm on it.
