Latin Mass by Vierne recorded at St. Sulpice with Propers

In October of 2007 JAV Recordings recreated Easter Sunday Mass at Saint-Sulpice from the time Vierne and Widor. The Vierne Mass was sung by the Choeur d'Oratorio de Paris directed by Jean Sourisse, accompanied by Daniel Roth and Eric Leburn. All of the Propers was sung by the Choeur d'Oratorio de Paris directed by Thibaut Marlin, accompanied by Eric Leburn on the choir organ. Daniel Roth provided beautiful improvisations in a style of the early 20th century on the Gallery Organ and he and Eric Leburn joined in dialog improvisation on both organs in Saint-Sulpice at times. The soloists were: Edward Schaefer, priest; Hervé Lamy, deacon; Sébastien Amadieu, sub deacon. This video was recorded with separate microphones from those used to make the recording, but this gives a small idea of what happened on those 4 nights at Saint-Sulpice to make this landmark recording. The expected release date of this Surround Sound recording is Spring of 2008.

When is this due to come out?

[JV68]

It is being worked on now. I hope to have it out this Spring.

Brilliant recording, Vierne's messe solennelle gloria is my favourite, infact were singing it this sunday. Must be impossibly hard to time the two organs at such great distance.

[JV68]

Daniel Roth and Eric Lebrun are both brilliant musicians and had no trouble watching the conductor on monitors. Neither missed a beat. I was very lucky to be able to work with both of them.

This is quite a daunting undertaking. I can't wait to hear the finished product.

[JV68]

You can't believe what it was like especially when France beat Australia in Rugby the last night the recording and the city wasn't quiet from 11pm to 4am!

...So is this the one that was the Widor mass, Op. 36? or is this a different CD?

[MrCochereau]

It's great! Fantastic Playing by Maitre Roth and superbe organ!

The improvisations are wonderful too!
