Cistercian ChamadesThere's nothing quite as overwhelming as the sound of a great pipe organ in a great acoustic...Chestnut 007{modalcontent lbx11} Built in 1962 (just like David Briggs!), the magnificent Klais organ in Himmerod Abbey, Germany is one of the finest organs in Europe, and is bathed in the abbeys remarkable 11 second acoustic.

The sleeve contains numerous colour photos of both the abbey and the instrument as well as details about the recording sessions, music and instrument. Don't miss this opportunity to really put your sound system through its paces

Mass For Notre DameSee the Hyperion WebsiteHyperion CDA67808{modalcontent lbx12} This disc includes Briggs Messe pour Notre Dame, and features four movements of David Briggs own improvisations - the Introït, Offertoire, Élévation and Sortie. Very much aligned with French liturgical practice, this is Briggs captured in the heat of the improvised, unedited moment. These improvisations display a masterful range of mood and colour. There is delicacy, reflection and repose, alongside mighty bombast and truly gothic 'shock and awe'. Listening to them is an uniquely thrilling musical experience. {modal content="lbx12" title="Mass For Notre Dame" width="750" height="450" className="sg-modal"}Read more{/modal} | ![]() |
