This is an amazing recording of most of Camille Saint-Saens' male choir pieces (orpheons). With enchanting harmonies and delightfully rich texture, these musical adaptations of poems of the early 20th century will make a cold heart melt. The Chantres Musiciens male choir sings with near perfection all the masterpieces on this album, be it the Winter Serenade, the charming "Le Matin," or the virile "aux Aviateurs," a tribute to the first aviators who took great risks in trying to conquer the skies, (and immortality...). Thoroughly, a must have for fans of male choral music. |
