Our Take

Michel Plasson's "Messe Solennelle" is a musical rollercoaster that takes you on a journey through bombastic crescendos and delicate lullabies. The French conductor's interpretation of this sacred choral work is nothing short of extraordinary, blending traditional Latin chants with modern orchestral arrangements.

From the moment the first note hits your eardrums, you are transported to a place of wonder and awe. Plasson's attention to detail is evident in every bar, with each choir and instrument blending seamlessly to create a harmonious tapestry of sound.

The standout moments on the album come when Plasson allows the choir to shine, their voices soaring to dizzying heights as they sing praises to the heavens. The soaring soprano solos are particularly impressive, showcasing the remarkable talent of the soloists.

However, there are moments when the album can feel a bit overwhelming, with Plasson packing so much musical information into each track that it can be difficult to fully digest. This is a minor quibble, though, as the overall quality of the music more than makes up for any occasional moments of musical clutter.

In conclusion, Michel Plasson's "Messe Solennelle" is a masterful work of art that deserves a place in every music lover's collection. So grab your headphones, close your eyes, and let Plasson's magical music take you on a journey through the divine.
