Monks Of Solesmes - Christ in Gethsemane

Two Gregorian chant offices of Maundy Thursday- the Office of Tenebrae and the Ceremony of Foot-washing- are presented here, sung in the dramatic style appropriate to the night before the Savior�s Passion. �This recording� is utterly magnificent and the singing of this great choir is thrilling beyond words. Buy this album if you expend your last pence; it�s better to starve to this music than to live without it.� (Classics CD) �This album is a marvelous evocation of Holy Thursday�s Tenebrae and foot-washing ceremonies, important for understanding the evolution of chant interpretation at the home base of chant restoration. Some of the antiphons have never been recorded before.� (Fanfare) �Setting the standard for Gregorian performance.� (American Record Guide)
