Customer reviews of Songs of Sanctuary

Customer Rating: 
Summary: Stellar
Comment: This CD is incredible! The way it is written with syllabic (rather than real) words makes the music itself more expressive.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Very Relaxing, especially Adiemus
Comment: When I first heard Adiemus, I was very enchanted and somehow all my thoughts just went away, making me feel very relaxed. I believe that Karl Jenkins and Miriam Stockley did a great job with all their music. It's something that I can listen to while I do my homework.
I would also like to add that for those of you who feel that this has no music in it, maybe it's because you're interests in music lies in other styles other than Karl Jenkins'. The music isn't exactly "world music", but it's supposed to give that idea with some Celtic and European influences. Also, the words are all made up, so if you don't understand it, don't worry about it too much. The idea of using the human voice in these songs is to feel relaxed. And for those of you who claim that she is crying at an unbearable pitch, apparently you have not heard people that think they are sopranos when they're not. Stockley is a great singer . Her voice sounds amazing in all these songs. But if you still don't like it, fine, it's your opinion. After all, people's tastes in music differ person to person. I happen to enjoy new age music as well as classical, pop, some rock, and anything that I feel fits for lyrical or modern dances. And some people who like other music in this genre may not like what they hear on this album just because of our different tastes. So I do recommend listening to the samples first before you make your decision of buying this CD.

Summary: Just gorgeous
Comment: I remember listening to Pure Moods Vol.1 as a kid and the track Adiemus was forever on repeat. Then, in highschool I discovered that there was an entire collection of this beautiful music! It's absolutely stunning.
It's strange that some people find this album repetitive or uninspired. Really weird. Because whenever I play it, I have to stop whatever I'm doing and just listen. Next thing I know, the entire album is over and I feel like I just stepped out of a dream. It's so enchanting it makes my heart skip a beat.
This all probably sounds like a bunch of hippie-hoohah, but I really, really, REALLY love this album. The orchestrations, the vocals, the melody, the flow, everything. It's the best out of the entire Adiemus Project.

Summary: Adiemus: New Age Meets Medieval
Comment: I danced to Adiemus and thought it was amazing; however, just listening to it didn't do the same thing for me. I am going back to Andrea Bocelli or Mozart's Mass or Handel's Messiah for true passion.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Sounds nice; not authentic
Comment: The music is very nice, but I was disappointed to learn that the music is basically babble from one of the two vocalists on the CD.
