Mark OpstadAbout
All the pieces presented here are by composers from Eastern Europe, most significantly the Russian, Igor Stravinsky and the Hungarian, Zoltán Kodály. Kodály’s Hungarian contemporaries, Lajos Bárdos and Béla Bartók are also featured and the programme is completed by two Polish composers, Krzysztof Penderecki and Paweł Łukaszewski, whose Ubi Caritas was commissioned by the Maîtrise for this recording. The programme contains works for both full choir and upper voice choir, both sacred and secular, sung in Latin, Church Slavonic, Hungarian and Russian.
Slava!, the title of our programme not only represents the Slavic origins of many of the composers featured, but also the Russian word for ‘glory!’, used as a refrain in many of the Stravinsky songs. Slava was also the familiar name of the great cellist Rostropovich, for whom Penderecki wrote his work featured here.
In 2017 the Maîtrise de Toulouse was awarded the Prix Liliane Bettencourt for choral music.
The choir has quickly established itself as one of the leading children’s choirs in France. Its first CD, Missa Brevis (REGCD340), recorded in 2010 was praised unanimously in the international musical press, including Diapason in France (5 Diapasons) and the UK. The CD was chosen as a 2012 Critic’s Choice by the American Record Guide, whose reviewer stated that ‘there is probably nothing this choir couldn’t sing, and spectacularly well’. In 2013 the choir released its second CD, Motets français (REGCD420) which received similar international praise and in 2015 a CD of French Christmas music, Noël Français (Regent 470) which also received 5 Diapasons.
