Immerse yourself in the profound and sacred sounds of "Escaich: Le dernier évangile" by the renowned Maitrise Notre-Dame De Paris. Released on January 1, 2002, this choral masterpiece is a testament to the ensemble's exceptional talent and the composer's intricate craftsmanship. The album spans a captivating hour and seven minutes, divided into a series of evocative pieces that blend the grandeur of double choir, orchestra, and organ.
The centerpiece of the album is the monumental "Le dernier évangile pour double chœur mixte, orchestre et orgue," a multi-movement work that weaves together hymns of genesis, light, imploration, baptism, and glory. Each section is a journey through sacred texts and emotions, showcasing the ensemble's ability to convey deep spiritual resonance.
Complementing this are the "Trois danses improvisées," where traditional chorales and Gregorian themes are reimagined in a dance-like format, adding a dynamic and rhythmic dimension to the album. The album concludes with a poignant "Poème symphonique improvisé sur un extrait de l'Apocalypse de Saint Jean," a symphonic poem that opens the seventh seal of the Apocalypse of Saint John, offering a dramatic and reflective finale.
Recorded under the esteemed HORTUS label, this album is a must-listen for those who appreciate the depth and richness of choral music. The Maitrise Notre-Dame De Paris delivers a performance that is both technically impeccable and emotionally stirring, making "Escaich: Le dernier évangile" a timeless addition to any classical music collection.
