With Gregorian's remarkable success in this last decade it was inevitable that a greatest hits
collection would finally be released. But collecting their most famous renditions on one CD will
not necessarily entice long-time fans to purchase the new release if they already own all the previous
albums. So Frank Peterson and Edel Records approached this in a similar way to their recent greatest
hits release for Sarah Brightman: besides the single-CD edition, they've simultaneously made available
a new DVD of one of the group's live shows. This, of course, is the truly exciting feature and makes
the purchase essential for any fan of the group. To date, all the previous Gregorian DVDs have consisted
of carefully constructed performances in exotic locations, so this is the first time we witness one of
their renowned live shows in official recorded format. And, true to Edel's high-quality standards, the
concert is brilliantly filmed for DVD in widescreen with a host of audio channels including a wonderful
Dolby Digital 5.1 to the inspiring DTS surround mix. The lengthy 17-track, 80-minute show will please
old and new fans alike, shot on the moody stage of one of the Prague concerts. The CD release contains
two live-tracks, which are not featured on the DVD. Perhaps the only disappointment is that Losing My
Religion and Still I'm Sad were not performed in this concert, however with the wealth of tracks that
Gregorian now have in their repetoire this is understandable. The cover of the new album lists this as
"Decade 1" for the group - so we can only look forward to even more beautiful music ahead.
