Middle Ages Old Roman Chant, #1: byzantine period Ensemble Organum, Marcel Pérès

“Marcel Pérès and his Ensemble Organum have made a fascinating collection of re-created Roman Church chants of the 7th and 8th centuries, before Gregorian codification had repressed the florid, middle-Eastern influences of Byzantine chant. The disk is compelling on a historical, intellectual and emotional level.” – New York Times
