This CD seems somewhat commercialized compared to Cantata Mundi, but that is to be expected from a best-of collection. Anyway, I persist to give this CD a top rating in honour of ...

Rating:  - The Journey: The Best of AdiemusI am glad I only got their best of their song. I was going to purchse all of their CDs. For some reason I stoped and got only one of them. It was not my kind of music . :( Rating: - Great CompendiumThis CD contains an excellent mix of music of Adiemus at a good price. I liked it better than a number of their regular CDs. |
