CD ReviewsDecent performance; Bad engineering 08/16/2000 (2 out of 5 stars) "The choral performance is a little more polished than that of the 1989 performance of The Choir of St. Gayane on New Albion Records (NA033). But the New Albion recording is a private recording, while this CD was (apparently) recorded during a public performance. So the music shares the CD with various audience noises among which is a bird that was determined to have its 15 minutes of fame. The sound on this CD is among the worst that I have ever heard -- all highs, no lows, like a bargain basement set of microphones was used. If this performance had been done with good engineering in a good, private setting, it probably would have been something worth getting. The choir does a reasonably good job; but unless you can tune out the many distractions and the bad engineering on this CD, I would recommend you pass on this one and get the one by the St. Gayane bunch."
