Please note!
Most of our CDs have been imported from Europe or Asia. They are not all shrink-wrapped, and I am not going to con you by wrapping them here just to make you think they have been sterilized in America. I guarantee that the CDs and the contents are all brand new and in perfect condition. Whenever I can, I use recycled shipping materials. They may not look as pretty on the outside, but they save money and keep the trash dumps a little bit emptier.
Thanks- Cliff, cdRoots

Search tips: This is a small database, and you will rarely return too many listings, so keep it simple. Your search will be returned only for listings with ALL the words you enter in the serach. So if you put in Poland and jazz, you will only get those listings that meet both criteria. This is a fairly primitive search tool, so don't use punctuation like quotes or commas, and do not use limiters like and and or... they don't help. Finally, only very basic ASCII charaters are readable (like I said, it's primitive), so substitute any letters with diacritical or accent marks with a simpler letter, ie: search Boden instead of Bodén. If you did not find what you were looking for, do not hesitate to send me an e-mail. I may be able to order it for you. Please contact me - Cliff

Fragments - $19.99
(cdRoots# hm-hillier-frag)
It cannot be overstated how challenging it must be to take on the specific virtuosity of any one church's musical tradition, especially the Russian and Greek here, and present each with a quality that you could call convincingly authentic and prayerful. But this is exactly what Hillier and group have achieved.' - Steve Taylor, Hollow Ear

The Powers of Heaven - $17.99
(cdRoots# hm-hillier-power)
For their second recording together, Paul Hillier leads the choir in a selection of sacred choral works from the Slavic tradition of the 'Divine Worship.' These works include those of Baldassare Galuppi, who adapted his Venetian manner of florid vocal writing, balanced phrases, and light imitative counterpoint to Slavonic texts and the a cappella medium. Galuppi’s Italo-Slavic style was further developed by Giuseppe Sarti, and reached new heights in the sacred choral concerto genre brought to its peak by Dmitry Bortniansky. The early Orthodox polyphony represents more than a shrewd adaptation of Western concertato techniques; it embodies a hope for spiritual salvation which, Orthodox Slavs believe, may best be realized through the act of singing.

The Estonian Philharmonic Chamber Choir (Eesti Filharmoonia Kammerkoor) was founded in 1981 by Tõnu Kaljuste, its principal conductor and artistic director until 2001, when he invited conductor Paul Hillier to take over the post. The choir has an extensive repertoire ranging from Gregorian chant to 20th Century music, with special emphasis on Estonian composers, including Arvo Pärt and Veljo Tormis.
