This album contains some of the most beautiful Parisian spiritual works written for soprano voices over the past century. It is complemented by the wonderful and almost unknown organ music of Gabriel Faure and Eric Satie. Conducted by James Litton, now honorary music director of the famous American Boys Choir.
This record was of great benefit, as it was created in the Church of St. St. John's in Orange, New Jersey.
Not only is its beautiful acoustics very similar to many larger European parish churches, meeting the requirements of high-pitched voices and a cappella singing as much as possible, but its beautiful organ gives an irreplaceable folk touch to both Fore and Sati.
The 1879 instrument, built by the New England firm E. and GG Hook & Hastings, its distinctive "unmixed" colors, original sound unlike subsequent symphonic instruments, give this organ music a magnificent character.
