For his first classical CD, tenor Marc Hervieux performs Christmas songs with the choir Les Disciples de Massenet, accompanied on the organ by Régis Rousseau. The recording was made in sessions in June 2009 at the Église Très-Saint Nom de Jésus in the Hochelaga-Maisonneuve neighborhood of Montréal. This church has one of the most powerful organs in North America, which was built in 1914 from the celebrated house of Casavant Frères of Saint-Hyacinthe.
