CDs

Earlier this year I made this list of some of my favorite recordings of Orthodox Church Music. My plan is to write some kind of review for each of these, and maybe many more in the time to come. Anyway, here is the list. I'm sure there are many that are missing, and I actually have even more on my favorites list, but these are my current top 10.
