"During the three days of recording and preforming Pleyel's sacred music it became clear to me that the composer's most significant contributions to church music lie in the way in which he puts choir and orchestra into context. Even though Pleyel composed relatively few sacred works when compared to other genres in his voluminous coeuvre (possibly due to the cathedral fire during the Franco-Prussian War 1870-1871), they are of particular interest because they provide, more than any other musical genre, a unique overview over the entire range of Pleyel's faculties as a composer: Everyone performers and listeners alike, were positively surprised by the quality of Pleyel's sacred works during the recording session. Pleyel's sacred music should receive more attention. It was important and appropriate to put these works from Pleyel's first and second creative period to disc."
(Adolf Ehrentraud, President of the Internationale Ignaz Joseph Pleyel Gesellschaft (IPG))
