Hommage à Maurice Duruflé by Thierry Escaich with the Cambri
Jacques Messier | Montréal, Canada | 08/10/2006
(4 out of 5 stars)

"An intense interpretation from Thierry Escaich in Maurice Duruflé, with the Cambridge Voices. We are facing a monumental tribute to Maurice Duruflé's work, illustrated by few improvisations from Escaich through the Motets. This is in short a resume of this CD.



The program is divided into three parts from which the well known suite op.5, is followed by a suite of alternate executions between the voices and organ in the Motets.



With colourful execution, especially in the Toccata, the organist Thierry Escaich gives to Duruflé a new dimension by showing an intense sense of tempo up to a slightly scary mood point.



The Cambridge Voices were a must for Escaich because of the tradition of cooperation and admiration between Duruflé's wife and the choir. These voices are pure beauty and the crystal clear sound makes Duruflé's music close to a mystic climax.



This CD is surely one of the best of Duruflé's music interpretation.

"No composer could be given a better tribute than has been done with this disk. I bought the disk only for the Durufle Op. 8 Suite. I soon discovered that the rest of the disk is worthy of praise. It's pricy but a very entertaining disk work every penny."
