Gregor Meyle is a German singer born in Backnang near Stuttgart (13.10.78). His claim to fame came through the late night show "TV Total" that runs an annual somewhat alternate casting show.

Si tratta comunque dell'unico album...

I Cantori Gregoriani are a male voice group which exclusively dedicates itself to the study and the spread of Gregorian chant. Consisting entirely of specialists, the ensemble bases its own performances on the research of semiology, that is the study of antique manuscripts dating from the Xth –X1th centuries.

The founder and director of the group is Fulvio Rampi, professor in Gregorian chant at...
