Transcription

Overview

Artistic Director Robert Simpson originally planned to perform the works of Duruflé for the choir's 2016–2017 season opening concert.[4] But as the concert began to take shape, Simpson realized that the program was simply too special to perform for a singular concert, thereby driving the decision to launch a full recording project. He said the whole process was "a labor of love from the very start".[5] The choir and organist Ken Cowan were joined by soloists Eduardo Tercero- Baritone, Cecilia Duarte- Mezzo Soprano and Norman Fischer- Cello for the recording.

Reception

Mark Rochester of Gramophone writes of the 'highly polished, virtually flawless sound of the Houston Chamber Choir' on the project.[6] James Manheim of AllMusic writes 'The album presents all of Duruflé's choral music, which fits conveniently on one CD, and it offers both distinctive performances and really superb recording of an impressive organ.'.[7] In its 2019 Year in Review, AllMusic awarded the project as one of the Favorite Classical Vocal Albums of the year with a rating of 4.5 out of 5 stars.[8]
