Great Hours of Liturgy at Notre-Dame in Paris |

Presentation
Conceived even before the tragic fire that ravaged Notre-Dame, condemning it to silence for a number of years, this timely rerelease comes to bring back to life the ceremonies that punctuated a bygone era, an era which, in the 1970s under the direction of Archpriest Berrar, was animated by a phalanx of outstanding musicians led by the maître de chapelle Jehan Revert and organist Pierre Cochereau. Many things have changed since then: the bells of the north tower were in fact replaced, whereas the carillon of hours seems to have disappeared in the torment, and the least that can be said of the great organ is that, due to its complete overhaul, it no longer sounds the same.
Remastered from the original tapes, the present disc renders its former splendour to the cathedral.
