    Abouna Anastasi St. Antony, the current abbot of St. Antony Monastery in So. Ca. You can find his liturgies on coptichymns.net... he sounds like an angel! I also like Fr. Filemon Mikhail from Archangel Michael (OC). Either way, the liturgy is our way of getting a glimpse of Heaven and we should be so grateful to partake in its blessings (paraphrased from Bishop Angelos' lecture on the Liturgy)
  • copt4evacopt4eva
    Abouna Mina Michael from Anba Bishoy's church in Melbourne has the voice of an angel, but i have to say he sounds soooo much better when he uses the long tune and not the broing fast tune.
  • markoc pi apostolomarkoc pi apostolo
    I think abouna Abraham Wassef of St. Mina Holmdel NJ and abouna Dawood from St. George in Broklyn and the Higher Institute in specific this link the Cyril liturgy http://tasbeha.org/mp3/Divine_Liturgies/Higher_Institute_of_Coptic_Studies,_Liturgy_of_St._Cyril_in_Coptic.html and bishops i think Bishop David has a great voice and says it nice and slow also Bishop Youannes secretary for the pope and Bishop Angelos

    Abouna Mosa (sorry i don't know his last name) from el fayoom, and Abouna Shenouda Halim (passed away in 99, he built St. Mina Holmdel, nj). I think st. mina holmdel website have a liturgy for him.

    Abouna Yacob Ghaly (He was one of the three deacons that did most of el anba rewase tapes, el agpya, etc...) and last be not least, Abouna Youhanna Abadeer.

    Abona antonuos, from St. Athanasious Church in Seaof Alexandria, Egypt. He has strong voice ( not trying to jenix him or anything!)

    Abona Rewis Meshreki, from St. Mary in 3'obreial, Alex. Egypt. His voice is full of saddnes, especial in the part of "genainaa......... genaiaainaa........... Erhaaaaamnaa....... Erhaaa`aaamnaaa............... etc...." His voice and the style he uses in liturgies espcial the Erhamna hymn....... Makes you regret every sin you have done in your life and cry your eyes out!!

    Abona Shenoda Meshreki (They are brothers), from St. Mary in 3'obrial Alex., Egypt. His voice is full of simpilicty and kindness..... wow.........!!

    I would post websites for their literguies; however, I only have them on casets! I haven't seen any on-line!
    Sorry!

    Pray for me,

    The two priest in my mind with great voices are
    Abouna Antonious who formerly wasa priest at Saint Mary Coptic Orthodox Church in East Brunswick, NJ
    Abouna Ibrahim of Saint Mina's Coptic Orthodox Church of Holmdel Nj

    Also General Bishop Apakir has the greatest voice i have heard

    Also let us remember that the voice of the priest or bishop is not a very important quialty.  Pope Kyrillos VI did not have a good voice when he celebrated the liturgy but you knew that when he was celebrating the liturgy he was really praying with his whole heart.
  • kyrillos02kyrillos02
    Abouna Boula Melek......nuff said
  • minatasgeelminatasgeel
    Fr. Antonios Tanios is the best at English liturgies and no one can deny that.
    For arabic and Coptic the is many ones that you don't even know about.
  • shnodashnoda
    i like Fr. Saweros Morcos,Fr. Antonis Saad from alex,Fr. Yohanna Nassef (priest of st. Mark cathedral in alex).
    anba Rafael, Anba Andrawis, Fr. Yossef Zaki, Fr. Serafim Hanna

    sorry for the long list but they are really amazing
  • LifeinChristLifeinChrist
