The Great Gregorian Offertories

The roots of sacred singing

Les Chantres du Thoronet,

Damien Poisblaud

“CD of the month” Radio Notre-Dame, September-October 2010

“Firm favorite” La Procure

The Great Offertories presented in this recording are some of the oldest and least well-known masterpieces of Gregorian chant, constituting a repertoire that is unique for the vividness of its colours, surprising contrasts and great freedom of expression. Like stained-glass windows glowing with light, they depict sacred scenes with extraordinary lyricism, which has nothing to do with the conventional idea of this music from the Early Middle Ages.
