(organ)

“Ampleforth Abbey is a rare oasis of calm in our hectic world...a collection of items that illustrate different moments in the life of a monk, from his early morning awakening through to nightfall, from the day of hi s vows to the final lowering of his coffin...it is really telling us about something utterly serious: they sing their chant well and with understanding, enhanced by the deep reverberation of their lofty chapel.” (Gramophone)
