Gregorian - Masters Of Chant - Live At Kreuzenstein Castle (2007)

The choir Gregorian Masters of Chant interprets modern pop songs in the style of the chants in a performance filmed live at the magnificent gothic Kreuzenstein Castle in Austria. Dressed in the robes of medieval monks and backed by a 29-piece orchestra, the choir's haunting vocalizations against the dark and mystical castle backdrop bring an ages old sound into the modern musical landscape. Dramatic lighting and atmospheric dry ice, fire and mirrors combine with this ethereal sound to elevate a musical experiment from a curious concept to an incomparable artistic experience

It was like being whisked away into a dream world. In the inner courtyard of the medieval
castle Burg Kreuzenstein, a choir from a distant past appeared to celebrate a mass
consisting of famous melodies and mystic voices. They were supported by a band and a
small orchestra to present contemporary songs in clerical robes and enchant the fascinated
audience. State of the art lighting technology bathed the ancient castle in fantastic colors,
while mirrors created magical reflections and smoke hung in the air beneath the arches.
Gregorian performed their concert Masters Of Chant - Live at Kreuzenstein Castle and
presented some of the most beautiful songs in their extensive repertoire.

The atmospheric concert was performed on October 1, 2006 in the medieval castle Burg
Kreuzenstein and presented Gregorian in its most impressive light. The ten-man choir
began with “Brothers In Arms” by Dire Straits and then moved on to an ethereal version of
Simon & Garfunkel's “Scarborough Fair”. The selected repertoire included the Gregorian
hit single “Moment Of Peace”, in which the choir was accompanied by the singer Violet.
There was a moving, rocking version of the Alan Parsons adaptation of Edgar Allen Poe’s
“The Raven” and a far reaching interpretation of the Robbie Williams hit “Angels”. The
original composition “The Forest” was also included in the program, which was rounded off
by the Neil Diamond composition “Be” from the “Jonathan Livingstone Seagull” suite. The
grand finale consisted of two encores: David Bowie’s “Heroes”, and the romantic “Hymn” by
the 70’s band Barclay James Harvest.
