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.

Voor wie er maar geen genoeg van krijgen is hier de eerste CD van deze zingende priesters. 
Nog nooit van gehoord????
Dan mis je een heleboel, na deze down niet meer natuurlijk.
Gewoon genieten.
