Review by Clark Knowles

The Coptic Liturgy of St Basil is a stunning album that showcases the beautiful music and rich cultural heritage of the Coptic Orthodox Church. Recorded by the Choir of the Institute of Coptic Studies in Cairo, Egypt, and conducted by renowned musicologist Ragheb Moftah, this album is a true masterpiece.

The album features the complete liturgy of St Basil, one of the most important liturgical texts in the Coptic Orthodox Church. The music is performed in the traditional Coptic style, with hauntingly beautiful melodies and intricate harmonies that transport the listener to a different time and place.

The choir's performance is flawless, with each member bringing their own unique voice and talent to the mix. The result is a rich, layered sound that is both awe-inspiring and deeply moving.

The album also features liner notes that provide valuable context and insight into the history and significance of the liturgy of St Basil. This makes it an excellent resource for anyone interested in learning more about the Coptic Orthodox Church and its music.
