Novgorod monastery chants

[Norman Turner]

Dear Friends,

UNESCO produced a CD celebrating 1000 years of Christianity in Russia. It recorded about 10 chants by the monks at a Novgorod monastery. I heard a snippet of each chant several years ago through the Internet. One chant had "bells" in its title name. These chants were especially moving to me. At the time, I identified a source in France through which I could purchase the CD. At the time the cost was a little over Canadian $50. This appeared a little too expensive for me at the time. However, the memory of those chants continues to haunt me. Does anyone know about the CD I am writing about? Is it still available?

Thank you.

Hallo!

Maybe you mean this (http://portal.unesco.org/culture/en/ev.php-URL_ID=6917&URL_DO=DO_TOPIC&URL_SECTION=201.html) CD: http://portal.unesco.org/culture/en/ev.php-URL_ID=6917&URL_DO=DO_TOPIC&URL_SECTION=201.html? As you see, the first and the last track are named "Bells of the convent". I think I found a source for this CD at http://www.worldmusicinstitute.org/ShoppingCart/Catalogue.asp?Action=Sort&View=Sorted&Sort=Region&SortBy=Central+%26+Eastern+Europe&page=2 (about in the middle of the page).

Regards,
Dimitris
