About Cristain & Samuel
The 2005 year marked a new beginning for Recording Artists, Cristian Mogosan and Samuel Druhora releasing their first album together “Panis Angelicus”.
Music in the 21st century is continuously braking down boundaries, and “Panis Angelicus” has done just that, creating a whole new genre of pure classical orchestration with a mild twist of pop-rock, an "opera cross-over". This compilation of great Religious and Traditional classics as well as original pieces written and produced by the two artists themselves bring forth a new audience Christian opera lovers from around the world. The title “Panis Angelicus” comes from original Latin meaning, Bread of Angels. Written by Cezar Frank in the mid 1800’s, it is a call to the body of Christ. The album is a Production of Palagia Entertianment (www.palagya.com) with original arrangements done by Stefan Novac conducting the Dinu Lipanti Philharmonic Orchestra of Satu Mare, RO.
