The father of organized Western monasticism is celebrated with Mass and Office Gregorian chants as well as organ music played on the Grandes orgues at Solesmes. This recording reflects the unmatched authenticity which characterizes the exquisitely gracious and moving performances of Gregorian chant by the Monks of Solesmes.
“The success of Gregorian chant in the past century, and the centered richness of prayer it brings to all of us, is almost singularly due to the herculean efforts of the Benedictine Monks of Solesmes, France.” —New Liturgical Movement
