The new album of the Maîtrise de Notre Dame de Paris is a world-premiere recording of a new Magnificat written by composer and long-time Notre Dame choir organist Yves Castagnet.
The recording was made by the Maîtrise de Notre-Dame de Paris, Chœur d’adultes, Henri Chalet, conductor, Yves Castagnet, organ, and soloists Thaïs Raï Westphal, Anouk Defontenay, Jordan Mouaïssia and Carlos Builes Velez.
“The Magnificat has accompanied me in my daily life for over 30 years. In fact, this text appears daily in the Catholic liturgy, every evening of the year, in the office of Vespers. Every evening, I accompany the singing of the Magnificat on the organ as part of the services at Notre-Dame Cathedral. The Virgin Mary’s own words, sung in this cathedral dedicated to her… How can you not be moved by the power and beauty of this text?” – Yves Castagnet
