Carpatho-Ruthenian Plain Chant
(circa 1970)
This
five-album set of long-playing records was prepared in Czechoslovakia
in the 1970's to accompany the Papp and Petraševič Irmologion.
It constitutes
one of our best recorded sources of prostopinije in Church Slavonic.
The individual selections, arranged by liturgical
usage,
can be found on the Recordings
