I am going to say what I think about the cd. I think it's wonderful music, which helps me relax at night, and there is not one night where I don't fall asleep to this haunting, dark music. I like Romanian music, and was brought up around a Romanian house-keeper for a couple of years, so Romanian music in particular isn't that new to me. I do know that Angela is Romanian, but I do not believe this cd has to be played only around Christmas time. It's music for any time of year. Sorry, I don't believe also, that the cover of the Mysterium is of poor quality, or a sign that Angela is losing it. One nore, I don't live in New York, and still take the time to appreciate all types of Classical music like this, and appreciate Angela's style for being different. That goes for the cd design as well, despite what image Angela portrays. Around Christmas 2001, I saw the cd sitting on the shelf in the store. I almost bought it, but did not have the chance to listen to it prior to buying it. I left it there and went home. Only last week, did I listen to it in another store, and finally decided to buy it. All the songs are beautiful, dark and haunting. Track 1(Tatal Nostru) is gorgeous, and Angela has the right vocal ability to pull her voice in our really propel it outward. O holy night is also a lovely song, and it is the first time I ever heard her sing in English. Pie Jesu is pretty, as well as all the other tracks. The really descriptive booklet explains the reason why Angela has made this particular type of album, and I am not sorry she did, or sorry that I bought it. The different Ave Maria arrangements are different to the ones I know by heart. These are the real oldy versions which have withstood the test of time. I liked the idea of putting Adeste Fideles at the end of the cd, because it breaks the solemnity of the cd. The graphic on the cd itself is pretty too. Mysterium is a fine cd to add to your Classical music collection. There's nothing wrong with the packaging or the design at all. Hope my review helped you.
