From the Artist
" I am convinced that music really is the universal language of beauty which can bring together all people of good will on earth" - Pope Benedict XVI
Product Description
Alma Mater is a stirring and highly emotional collection of eight original pieces of modern classical music. The release is a true event, marking the very first time that the Voice of Pope Benedict XVI has been captured on disc, speaking and singing in Latin, Italian, Portuguese, French and German, thanks to the audio recordings of Vatican Radio. Proceeds from the album sales will be used to provide music education for underprivileged children around the world.

The album will feature His Holiness Pope Benedict XVI, reciting and singing passages and prayers, accompanied by The Choir of the Philharmonic Academy of Rome, conducted by Monsignor Pablo Colino, Maestro Emeritus of St. Peter's Basilica and recorded in St Peter's Basilica. The world famous Royal Philharmonic Orchestra plays on all of the specially commissioned contemporary tracks, and was recorded at the iconic Abbey Road studios in London.

Simon Boswell, Stefano Mainetti and Nour Eddine are the three contemporary composers who have contributed the eight specially commissioned pieces of music for Alma Mater. Vincent Messina, producer of Alma Mater, commented, "These three composers are world class and my first choices for the album. A happy co-incidence is that Stefano is Catholic, Simon is `undeclared' and Nour Eddine is Muslim, thus perfectly representing our aim to produce an album that has universal appeal to all of those who love beautiful music." Collectively, the trio of writers boasts an impressive resume of film scores, TV series and stage productions from around the world.

Музыкальный диск «Alma Mater — Music From The Vatican», в записи которого принимал участие Папа Римский Бенедикт XVI.
Альбом был записан Папой Римским в базилике Святого Петра в Ватикане и издан в ноябре прошлого года на лейбле Geffen/Universal. На диске понтифик в сопровождении хора римской музыкальной академии поет и читает молитвы, посвященные Богоматери.
Бенедикт XVI известен своей любовью музицировать: так, в его альпийскую резиденцию специально привезли фортепьяно, чтобы Папа смог заниматься хобби. Но недавно весь мир оценил еще один талант Бенедикта XVI — его голос. Вышел диск "Альма Матер. Музыка из Ватикана", состоящий из молитв понтифика, которые звучат под аккомпанемент симфонического оркестра и хора. И хотя сам Папа Римский не принимал непосредственного участия в создании альбома, компания, выпустившая диск, получила запись его молитв от радио Ватикана.
