About

The Łódz Philharmonic Choir and conductor Dawid Ber perform sacred choral works by Fauré, Whitbourn and Grzeszczak. The album contains three, completely stylistically different, rarely performed masses.

The work of Gabriel Fauré, one of the most significant composers for the development of French music at the turn of the 20th century, is not easily classified under a specific artis ctitrend. On the one hand, the pieces he wrote in the early stages of his activity are quite closely linked to the major/minor system, on the other hand (it is particularly noticeable in relation to piano works), the artist had already been using a number of original harmonic means, aesthetically announcing the musical Impressionism.

Krzysztof Grzeszczak was born on 17 September 1965 in Maków Mazowiecki. In 1987-1989, he studied organ under Feliks Rączkowski and harmony and counterpoint under Franciszek Wesołowski. In 1993, he graduated from theological studies in Warsaw at the Academy of Catholic Theology (currently the Cardinal Stefan Wyszyński University).

James Whitbourn was born in 1963 in Royal Tunbridge Wells in Kent, Great Britain. Initially, he pursued his education at The Skinners’ School, but after receiving a scholarship he moved to Magdalen College in Oxford, where he graduated. Whitbourn quickly became popular in his country thanks to the cooperation with the BBC channel, for which he prepared a number of television programmes.
