More Details on Jean Langlais - Vocal and Organ Music
French organist-composer Jean Langlais was blind from birth, and Samuel
Coquard, who directs this estimable recording, believes that this was
an important factor contributing towards the simplicity, humility and
emotion to be found in all his music. The works on this disc cover a
period of over 20 years in the composer’s output, and include the world
première recording of the unpublished ‘Cantata in Honour of Saint
Louis-Marie de Montfort’. Deeply-felt performances from the excellent
children’s choir.
