This site has numerous hymns sung by George Papanikolaos, in my opinion one of the best cantors around.

Maybe there are more links to Psaltists? During my stay at the Mount Athos I had the opportunity to hear Psaltists singing. As I understood, there must be a special school somewhere. Except the 3 cassettes of Father Dionysios Firfiri I could buy in Karyes, it seems to be impossible to get CD`s or any informations . So I thank God that I can still listen to the voice of the already reposed Father.

This is a chanters website in Greece. It is all in Greek, however, on the menu (left side of home page) there is a choice for "Multimedia", on the next menu "Sound Clips" will take you to a very large collection of Byzantine Chant sound files. There are sound files of choirs chanting, as well as solo chanters, including most of the First Chanters of the Patriachate of Constantinople from the past 60 years.

I`m really sorry, for sometimes I have a problem by finding the correct information on a website.....Anyhow, thanks a lot! In the meantime I found a nice rumanian website, full of usefull links to monasteries, cantari psaltici, cantari corale etc. It`s worth looking and hearing all the different singing.

Thanks for the links everyone. They are very helpful for me and I use the videos a lot in my bible lessons (http://www.gospellight.com) from church. I agree with you Kris, George Papanikolaos is a great cantor. Hard to top what he does.

I know that this is an older thread but I wanted to see if there were any other links out that that anyone else has that I could use. If you could let me know, that would be great!
