The album Requiem Chanté A Voix DEnfants A Notre Dame De Paris by Fauré, La Maîtrise De NotreDame De Paris, La Maîtrise De La Resurrection, L'Ensemble National De France, Roger Soyer, Pierre Cochereau Direction Francis Bardot is a masterpiece of choral music. The haunting melodies and rich harmonies of Fauré's Requiem are brought to life by the talented musicians and singers on this recording.

The album features the beautiful voices of the children's choirs, La Maîtrise De NotreDame De Paris and La Maîtrise De La Resurrection, who sing with purity and innocence, adding an ethereal quality to the music. The Ensemble National De France provides a lush orchestral accompaniment to the choir, with soaring strings and powerful brass.

Roger Soyer's baritone solo in the "Hostias" is a highlight of the album, with his warm and expressive voice conveying the depth of emotion in the music. Pierre Cochereau's organ playing is also impressive, adding a sense of grandeur and solemnity to the music.

Francis Bardot's direction brings out the best in the performers, creating a cohesive and powerful performance that is both moving and uplifting. The recording quality is excellent, capturing the full range of the choir and orchestra with clarity and depth.
