) | Label: OUR RECORDINGS Catalog: 6220612 Format: Hybrid SACD Danish National Vocal Ensemble; Danish National Concert Choir; Danish National Chamber Orchestra; Marcus Creed; Marianna Shirinyan; Thomas BlochOne is no longer the same after experiencing the music of Olivier Messiaen, and one clamors for more. It is like a Babette’s Feast of music, both exclusive and exotic, yet utterly spontaneous and embracing a universe of colors and rhythms, human, divine and even extra-terrestrial. Three of Messiaen’s most passionate vocal masterworks are presented on this present recording: the visionary Trois petites liturgies de la Présence divine (Three Small Liturgies of the Divine Presence) (1934), the popular O sacrum convivium! (1937) and the extraordinary – and extraordinarily difficult – Cinq Rechants (Five Refrains, 1948). The internationally renowned choir conductor Marcus Creed is joined by the three of Denmark’s greatest musical treasures: The Danish National Concert Choir, Danish National Vocal Ensemble and The Danish National Chamber Orchestra, in addition to internationally acclaimed soloists Marianna Shirinyan (Piano) and Thomas Bloch (ondes Martenot).
