Notes & Reviews:

The motets for solo voices by Camille Saint-Saëns represent a little known, yet quite engaging, aspect of his work. Written for the church of the Madeleine, where Saint-Saëns admitted to having spent "the finest moments of his existence," they are a manifesto of his conception of church music: simplicity with lyricism, sparse writing but without dryness, tact and balance conveyed by his consummate art of treating voices. The soloists of La Lyre Séraphique regale us with several masterpieces: Ave Maria, Inviolata, and Deus Abraham for soprano solo recorded for the first time on disc, which deserves a place amongst Saint-Saëns' most beautiful triumphs.
